New to PieFed. Completely disillusioned by Reddit. Just wanted to say hey lads. Still trying to figure this platform out. So far, it's a little bit of a struggle.

Welcome!

Have a browse of https://piefed.social/f/forumverse and join anything interesting.

Cheers mate :)

g'day Kat! It's good to have you! We're mostly a very friendly bunch so I'm sure many people would be happy to help you with any particular questions.

What were some of your favourite subreddits? Maybe we can point you to the most similar Communities on the threadiverse. Bearing in mind that unfortunately it is smaller, so some more niche Communities may not exist or may be very inactive.

I like following local Aussie news, world news, true crime, and I'm big into hip hop and metal music. TV and movies are always good to keep up to date on too.

For Aussie news you want !australia@aussie.zone, !australianpolitics@aussie.zone, and !news@aussie.zone.

For world news, there's !worldnews@aussie.zone for a community based on world news from an explicitly Australian perspective. There's also !world@quokk.au and !world@lemmy.world.

For true crime, it looks like !truecrime@lemmy.dbzer0.com and !truecrime@lemmy.world both exist but are not super active, so you may need to initiate the conversation there a bit more than you would be used to from Reddit.

!hiphopheads@sopuli.xyz is relatively active, and so is !metal@lemmy.world. There are also a few dedicated to subgenres of metal that you can find by doing a "Community" search for "metal".

There are a few TV and movie–related Communities, like !movies@lemmy.world, !movies@piefed.social, and !television@piefed.social. A few other specific franchises/shows have their own Communities as well.

Thank you so much for all the links to these communities!

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 3 points 5 days ago

I noticed one more after I made that, which is !onthetelly@aussie.zone, for Australian TV specifically.

Lemmy an Piefed are basically old.reddit.com

If you use / used that, it really shouldnt be any different.

[–] KitKatKitCat@piefed.social 3 points 5 days ago

I never really used old.reddit. I was more of a 4chan guy back in the day. I'm sure I'll figure it out quickly.
