People need to realize you can use alternatives
First one I heard about was Lemmy.world, and for a short time I thought others were just "imitation offshoots", taking time to learn the system. There's still not a simple summary to send people, at the very least it can open simply as "Here's some non-Reddit Reddit sites"
My work blocks lemmy.ml but not many other instances. Unfortunately all the heaviest memes are on lemmy.ml ! I just want to look at fun memes instead of my lame ass patients what’s wrong with that
I was advised by a redditor to join '.word' because ml was overwhelmed
Not really sure what the difference is tbh. I'm here interacting with an ml community so why not?
I'd like to know if I can make my own subreddit equivalent though?
Nuhuh, beehaws active user count and seemingly inclusive nature drew me in
lemmy.one gang
listen, I'm willing to go to smaller instances if necessary, but for the same reason I signed up for mastodon.social - I want my local community to not be a desert, if at all possible.
It looks on the main page, you can view posts across all communities on lemmy, regardless of which community you're on, so that certainly helps.
When looking through the list of other servers, one thing I noticed is that a lot where in languages I don't know.
Other servers are snappier than lemmy.ml
me, on lemmy.world: what?
latte.isnot.coffee is mine, I think it's the best end for your name you can hope for ;)
Honestly, I was just trying to look for the most general instance possible.
