DAILY MAIL is a shit SHIT source.
But fuck reddit.
We may have our opinions about the qualities of Reddit. But the Daily Mail? I feel dirty, just having a link to that dump on my screen.
Voyager has an option to block specific websites/keywords which may be useful to you (depending on your device of choice). Not sure if other front ends have that but I think it's worth looking into.
Not thousands enough
Reddit is down very based
I hope AI is okay 🙏!.... It wasn't us, oh great begin!
Just log in on another server... Duh!
Good! Now stay down!
Reddit down report #420 this year.
Tell me when AWS or something is down. Reddit goes down so often it becomes a nothing burger
Literally thousands. That's all the humans that are left.
Funny how they have the audacity to complain about this place being botted when their bot problem is so, SO much worse.
i dont think i've seen more than 3 botted users here lmao
Yeah there really are not that many here, and while there are probably more who hide in the background, it's nowhere near what the Reddit scabs/stans claim when they talk shit about Lemmy and alternative platforms in general.
'alternative is not 'click 3 buttons', therefore it sucks balls and no one should use it'
Reddit being down is how I found out about this place. This is literally my first post here. Thanks for sucking Reddit!
Happy hatching day!
Wilkommen, amigo!
Welcome!
Welcome to Lemmy. Glad to get new people here.
Just a quick FAQ because newbies tend to get some common things wrong:
Q: What is a "community"?
A: A community is basically a subreddit that lives in a specific instance
Q: What are we called in Lemmy?
A: Most people use "lemming"
Q: What is an instance?
A: An instance is basically a server. For example, you registered at lemmy.world. lemmy.world is an instance. With the power of federation, you don't need to register at other fediverse platforms to interact with stuff there here (only applicable to federated AND supported fediverse platforms). For example, mastodon.social can mostly interact with lemmy servers (instances)
Also, don't mind the old looking minimalstic UI of lemmy. A revamp of the UI with a more modern design is being developed as we speak
Any questions welcome.
Welcome, hope you like Linux memes…and beans.
Lots of beans. All the beans.
Linux Beans? Mmmm. Go so well with a nice Malbec.
Hey that's not fair!
.....we've also got Star Trek memes.
And jeans!
and also me pondering my orb
Yeah, after the API changes I created a lemmy account
Don't forget to apply to the No Poop Challenge!
Jokes aside, welcome. It's a bit messy but fun here. Make sure to take a look at how instances work, for most part you can ignore it but it does improve a lot your experience.
The top two mistakes I ever made on the Fediverse were unknowingly posting in Chapotraphouse in hexbear.net, and similarly in Lemmygrad.ml. Lemmy was practically unusable for me until I realized I could block those instances (and later lemmy.ml), which improved my happiness here by >99%, no joke.
Definitely it's worth paying attention to how instances work.
Weird, it's been down for me since June of last year.
Woah there pardner...
Yeah same.
Reddit.com still works. Old.reddit.com does not.
Wonder if they've decided to finally do away with old reddit?
Edit: Old.reddit is back up for what it's worth.
Nooooo, the poor 100 users and 2 billion bots!
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- No brigading.

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
