First time posting after 9 solid years on Reddit. Thanks for the welcome
12 years for me and i'm kicking myself for letting myself get so entrenched after i had experienced the same thing before; fediverse, here i come! lol
Now time to do the same thing here hahaha! Reddit 2:.the quest for more money. Seriously when is that movie coming out?
First time I've seen a comment so good that not only does it get upvotes, it has a negative number of downvotes,
Anyone know how that is even possible?
I am here now. Just signed up. Mod of /r/bicycling, /r/sanfrancisco, and a few other smaller subs. The whole thing is a mess right now, so I wanted to see if there are greener pastures here. Any tips are welcome. I literally have no idea what I'm doing.
#fediverse is nicer then reddit. Dosen't have that superiority complex!
When will we get our own persistently-broken video player? That's super important for my quality use experience.
Rest in peace RIF. I was honestly heartbroken. I know how sad that must sound, but goddamn, I used it daily for 6 years. It made my office hours and daily commute on the subway so much better.
Yeah man I used RIF as my only reddit access for 12 years. So when reddit was going hard with avatars, rewards and ads, I was immune to it. I think that's partially why 3rd parties were cut out. I did the revanced reddit app, but it still feels gross.
I wasn't thrilled at the idea of leaving Reddit after 14 years but some things cannot be avoided. My first post here on Lemmy. Thank you for the warm welcome!
@Axxi
Things seem to be better here anyways. Being able to interact with people across different platforms (I'm replying to your comment through Mastodon because it works and it's cool 😎) really does make it feel like "the world of tomorrow" to me
Wandering around, RiFless, looking for something to do on the internet.
Connect for Lemmy seems like a pretty good app so far, feels decently similar to RIF.
I've been here a week or two now. It's going better than Voat did for me when I last tried to leave Reddit. That was full of alt-right crazies basically, but so far here, people have been lovely.
This seems like the first thing with enough critical mass to get going, what with reddit and twitter sulimultaneously imploding faster than a poorly constructed submersible craft. It's not driven by political outrage so much as the old platforms making themselves unusable and forcing healthy users off their platforms.
Bathroom's that way.
Is there a currency equivalent to Reddit gold here? What’s the point of this if I can’t say “Thanks for the gold kind stranger” ???
My goodness me. This place rocks. Like the way the internet used to be. Fuck corporate greed. Fuck ads. Fuck egocentric dictatorships. And hello to The Future.
We are all out here in the ether together brothers!
Thanks, so far Lemmy is looking like an interesting place with good vibes all round!
I already like the vibe of this place more, at least socially. The site is a bit cumbersome but I'm willing to stick with it to see how it can get better. Plus Sync for Lemmy will be coming and then my life will be fixed.
So many people joined, which is amazing
Incoming user from reddit! My app got shut down. I was salty about it so I decided that I was going to find an alternative, rather than use the official app, and I found lemmy! I like the community vibe so far. I'm still figuring out how different communities and instances work together with federating. I was always more of a lurker on reddit, but I might try to become a more active commenter (for community engagement!)
Honestly seeing all the corpos ruining the platforms that are what they are because millions of people contributed to them. Youtube, Reddit, Twitter, etc. give so much power to their owners yet they don't realize it past their next dollar. I think internet should have always been a fediverse instead of what it has become.
Really hope this takes off and remains open and non-commercial.
This atmosphere has good vibe. Goodbye RIF, hello Lemmy 👋
What's to stop a single Lemmy instance from going "this is taking too much time and money to run, I'm shutting this server down"? I guess that can apply to any service, but monetization sometimes prevents that from happening. But in this case it's all volunteer work and running a server takes resources.
What happens to all the users created under that Lemmy instance?
If it happened right now, we'd need to go make new accounts on a new instance to keep accessing content. Of course, content hosted on the disappeared instance would also be gone, which is another reason spreading everyone out onto smaller instances is a good idea to avoid one central server holding 90% of the good content.
What we have on Mastodon is an easy way to migrate account from one instance to another, so I'm hopeful a similar feature will be added here in due time once the devs have everything a bit more stable. The added complication with Lemmy of course is that we'd also need a way to migrate communities or at least the content thereof, but I've seen various discussions of how that could work so it is something that they're thinking about already.
Ultimately, don't get permanently attached to content you put out on the internet, because if this sounds terrifyingly precarious to you you probably weren't online in the early 2000s when that's just sort of how things worked. Somehow we thrived anyway!
Closed Reddit account and embarking on this new adventure with lemmy.
Hey, hello community this is my first comment on Lemmy, good to see you all.
Hello everyone! Thank you to everyone working to keep servers running during this influx of signups and all the helpful posts I'm seeing around explaining instances and generally how to Lemmy.
Hello. Glad to be here. I'm not going back to reddit, they nuked Sync for Reddit and I refuse to use reddit app.
First post here!
As a former Apollo user, I’m super impressed by wefwef. Does anyone know what’s in store for its development? I’d love to see a native iOS app.
Wait... Where am I? I'm getting withdrawal symptoms. 11 years wandering the Reddit... I'm lost, a little confused, possibly afraid.
First post! 🤸
It's nice to be wanted.
Where is my can of beans?
Reddit was fun but the admins are insane, I reported an account that was posting CP and they banned me whilst claiming they took action against that account yet it is still up. Classy.
First comment on Lemmy. Is there a ELI5 for Lemmy to help get us started? I'm using the Connect Lemmy app!
Ahoy future worlds of magic and mystery!
I've only been here for two weeks and already have seen major improvements. Thankful to the admins for their hard work, and glad to see the wonderful people here contributing to this platform's awesome growth. Loving it here and wishing continued success to the fediverse :)
Commenting to count. Also, hi ^^
Just signed up a few hours ago and trying to get a feel of the place. Looking good so far :)
Hiii im here from reddit but, when i tried to post the post has been being uploaded for the past 2 hours, also loading communities and upvoting has been EXTREMELY slow ;'D
btw this is a hella cool site
Yeah looks like lemmy.world is slow today. Not surprised due to the influx of users. Ruud and the team has been working on it diligently the last couple of weeks, expanding hardware, writing code, fixing bugs, etc. Please be patient as we grow!
12yr Reddit account being abandoned cause of all the fuckery. Happy to be a Lemming now
Hi there everyone!
To all my Apollo refugees that are struggling with the interface. wefwef.app is basically a clone of Apollo for this site. The name is shity but it works great!
For all things Futurama
Rule 1: Don't be a jerkwad!
Rule 2: Alternate video links to be linked in a comment, below the original video.
