Cool, I didn't know we could embed images in posts and they'd show up inline. I wonder how long that will last, haha.
After 14 years on reddit I’m tired of watching it die, the death of Apollo is what pushed me over the edge, I loved Apollo. I’ve been browsing in here for the past few days. I like it. Trying to get used to it. Fuck reddit and u/spez all of the situation was trash. Thank you all for recommending this site!! I’m excited to be apart of it!
I'll post my puppy everyone likes puppies.
I don't often have anything to add, but here is my buddy.
Long time no see, Lemmy. I hope Reddit ending is for the best, and I hope all my precious communities migrate to open source software.
I couldnt say it better. Social media must be controlled by the people using it. There is no other option except bad products promoting dangerous ideas to keep people rich.
but i don't have anything to say
other than fuck spez of course
'tis enough, friend!
Big time introverted lurker on reddit, since here is a much smaller community, I don't feel so intimidated. I'll try to be more active here. Let's do this guys, let's create a great place for all the Reddit Refugees. FUCK u/Spez!
Alright sir, I shall upvote and comment whenever I feel I have something useful to add!
I already blocked access to reddit on my network, so lurking is not an option for me ;)
I deleted Boost for Reddit. That's about the only way I liked it. Now all I need is Boost for Lemmy.
Don't tell me what to do...
Ah shit.
Ok, you win this round.
Just deleted all of my posts and a 12-year old reddit account. So long Reddit...
Same here. 14 years gone. :)
Now we are here and moving forward. Not to anyone reading be sure to check out other instances too!
Bluto: "Christ. Seven years of college down the drain. Might as well join the fucking Peace Corps."
You're right, I'll try. I enjoy reading, but often get overwhelmed with trying to respond, so I end up just giving up and not finishing my
Huh. So that's how you comment!
Let's defeat the 90/9/1-rule!
What is this rule? I've never heard of it.
On any given social media site, 90% of people only lurk, 9% of people comment on content, and 1% of people post the actual content.
It's hard being a lurker for so long, I only started interacting with a few smaller subreddits around sporting events and then within a year, all this crap started happening. Feel sorry for all the 3rd party developers, I used Boost and I'm glad I supported the developer over the years but can't believe how they ended up being treated. Death to Reddit
It’s a bit difficult getting into Lemmy and the feediverse I gotta say. But after looking around for a while I really like how things work here, compared to reddit
Scraped my reddit account and here to post Manatee!
One thing that might keep people off is how communities are created/duplicated on Lemmy. I mean you can have the exact same community but on different instances. Then you start asking yourself which one should I join? or perhaps both? This definitely will confuse people.
subscribe to all of them and play with the feed options and sorting order. it takes a little getting used to, but it seems intuitive once you're subscribed to a bunch of stuff. If the mobile clients develop this should become easier to manage from a UX standpoint.
I've been on reddit for far longer than I'd care to admit. It's been a weird feeling deleting all of my bookmarks and apps in an attempt to avoid just absently mindedly returning.
Hey now, I lurked on Reddit for years and it grew to be a huge success. I'm ready to repeat this bold strategy!
Agreed! I am curious with this, how did you guys find out about Lemmy? In my case, I was scrolling through Reddit and saw somebody talking about Lemmy. I researched a little bit and here I am! I would love to hear from y'all tho
I haven’t been lurking but feel like I should comment here specifically lol
I like Lemmy! I'll add something to the conversation, just this once...
I'm trying to not lurk, but it's a hard habit to break
Hello, new reddit refugee here. I've been hearing about the fediverse and mastodon some time now. Heard about lenny a couple of months ago, but didn't feel the need to make an account at the time. With the dumpfire that's going on it reddit I figured it was high time I jumped ship.
I have a question that might sound stupid. Is there a way to get the same functionality as reddit's custom feeds in lemmy? Where you have multiple feeds that are "subscribed" to different sets of communities.
I'm not lurking. You are!
I feel like leaving reddit is a big change in my life. Hopefully, Lemmy takes off and remains a much more positive place.
