What I love the most about Lemmy is that you can see the downvotes as well!

[–] WhoRoger 13 points 2 years ago

Not all instances have downvotes, but most do

I've gone from a lurker across all other social media to an active... Fedizen? Fedizen. And I'm loving it™

It feels great not to just belong to a single site but to a federation of many other sites you can almost seamlessly interact with.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Same! I'm posting and commenting more than ever. Gotta add content and spur the discussion!

[–] RichardPoggers 14 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Feels so nice to show up to a post late and knowing you comment may still get read as opposed to the 3 hour window reddit felt like it had.

We are all fighters and we are struggling for better social networks for our children

And a fine part you are doing!

[–] primaryuser 13 points 2 years ago

I have genuinely commented here on Lemmy today than I have on Reddit in the past 6 months, maybe longer. Trying my best to do my part, and honestly I find the atmosphere here a lot less intimidating, at least for now. It's fun to watch a new place grow!

Good bye reddit, hello lemmy!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This is my first post on shitjustworks. Damn this site and fediverse thing is confusing though.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago (5 children)

A common way I've heard it explained is to think of it like email. Say someone creates a gmail account and their friend creates a hotmail account. The gmail user doesn't need to create a hotmail account to send them a message, they just log into their gmail account and send their message to friend@hotmail and the magic of email takes care of the rest.

The fediverse works similarly. You create an account on one "instance" and can interact with pretty much every other instance. There's some nuance to it since it's more complicated than email, but that's the gist of it.

To me, the best part of reddit was the comments section. Love seeing this site take off!

[–] TheGreenGhost 8 points 2 years ago

Realized I can actually choose a username I really like versus the one I made for Reddit when I was on a lunch break.

As someone who's only lurked on reddit it feels good to be contributing

[–] LemonSneakers 7 points 2 years ago

It feels good to see memes.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (5 children)

I'm just sad I can't tell people on reddit to come over here, even comments without direct links are being deleted by admins. I just mentioned that there is a star citizen community on lemmy in the subreddit and that comment got deleted without a trace.
