It's much better here! It’s nice and cozy, kinda like Reddit circa 15 years ago.

For your memes we have !memes@lemmy.world and if you're a programmer of some kinds we got !programmer_humor@programming.dev to scratch that itch, if you like sciency posts mander.xyz has some excellent communities (communities=subreddits) like !science@mander.xyz, !biology@mander.xyzand !astronomy@mander.xyz and for a meme science combo there's always the fantastic !science_memes@mander.xyz

You can also drop a shit(post) off at !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world or hang out at !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone (though you do have to post before you leave that one!)

If you want to explore the world of PC Gaming on Linux check !linux_gaming@lemmy.world or for more general Linux !linux@programming.dev and we even have a Linux meme comm at !linuxmemes@lemmy.world (we like Linux around here lmao)

For news !world@lemmy.world is excellent and for US focused news !news@lemmy.world and !usa@midwest.social

Want to ensure your privacy in this crazy world? Checkout !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

And of course, the best for last, the best comm on the Lemmy-verse, !bikinibottomtwitter@lemmy.world !!! Just make sure to buy a krabby patty!

We’re not without our cons though, biggest problem we have are probably the Tankies, but here they’re mostly on what's known as the Tankie Triad: lemmy.ml, lemmygrad and hexbear. For the most part, grad and hex are widely defederated from (Users and content of those instances won't be "synced" and you won't see them) and you only have to worry about .ml, but on Lemmy you can do a personal instance wide block if you’d rather just not deal with them. .ml tends to be more subtle opting for censorship of dissent before things get crazy on their threads and allowing certain propaganda to flourish (If you wish to see documentation of it, checkout !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works ) Here on Lemmy all moderator actions are public and available for viewing on what's known as the "modlog"

Obligatory, fuck Spez

Here on Lemmy all moderator actions are public and available for viewing on what's known as the "modlog"

Saying it again to everyone in the back. The modlog is a great feature. Instance Mods and admins can't just disappear people and communities without a trace, and trolls can't make up stories of unfair moderation without bringing receipts and their old account name.

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 0 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Couldn't an instance admin just disable modlogs or spoof them, though

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Yes, but the backlash would be undoubtedly intense, everyone here loves the modlog (well probably not the trolls/tankies LMFAO)

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

the tankies were who created the modlog. broken clocks etc

[–] jimmy90@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

the tankies/MLs are the biggest downside of lemmy, they prefer insults to discussion and have a very stalinist approach to moderation/administration. they are the spez of lemmy

oh and they spread russian propaganda like jolly traitors

authoritarians have always been the same

[–] Microw@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Keep in mind that not everyone on ml or everyone with leftist leanings is a tankie. Yes, there are a lot of tankies there, but ML is a general purpose instance and some longstanding lemmy users simply have their accounts there

[–] jimmy90@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

i was referring to the fundamentalists, wannabe revolutionaries and myopic protesters

if you have a main account on .ml to bait MLs then fine, but it might be time to make an account elsewhere. all the MLs that want to troll the rest of lemmy have done the same so they don't bring the instance into further disrepute

For their own instance, sure.

But it won't alter the modlogs of other Instances, which also have a copy if the community is federated to them.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

It's funny because I bet a lot of us that came on the API wave had/have 15+ year old accounts.

Mines 18.

I had a post from /r/teenagers show up on my homepage and I realized that my account is older than most people there say they are.

[–] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Mine is certainly near 15 years old, but for the life of me I can't remember exactly when I made an account, nor how many fake internet points I'd rattled up - it just seems so insignificant now.

The best part of Lemmy is that if any instance starts becoming like Reddit is now, I can block it individually, or we can collectively decide to shun them! It's not fool proof, but it's a pretty large leap in the right direction.

I dare say I miss the niche communities, but frankly, the main niche that I filled was on the pony side of things, and that's pretty dead now. RIP smol horses, you all get to live your best lives now as glue 🫡

[–] edvardgm@lemm.ee 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

how is lemmy diffrent then reddit other then mutliple servers and stuff like that? both is kinda the same reason you use it for and thats why they exist?

[–] FourWaveforms@lemm.ee 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

There is no central control, which means there's no CEO to influence into doing ghastly shit to the users. It's basically one step up from the non-federated Internet forums of old.

[–] edvardgm@lemm.ee 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

ah thats huge!

Thanks for making us from Reddit feel welcome I can se i am going to like it here

I got banned from Reddit because I made a suggestion on what should happen to a violent dog that attacked a family member

No free speech on Reddit

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You'll probably like it because we are all from reddit, at varying times in the past.

It's really like OG reddit. Like the good ol' days.

Well maybe not cause of the whole jailbait thing

And the racism

Yeah, it's a bit more cleaned up

[–] DarkSirrush@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

The jailbait and racism still exist, but any instance that doesn't want to be defederated by the big ones defederates from it immediately.

[–] Mouette@jlai.lu 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Lemmy.ml living rent free in this person mind lmao. If you spent half the time you spam post crying about them developing a fork of Lemmy you would have actually be free from them now. At this point I'm starting to think you're actually getting paid for spewing brain rot

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Apparently, it's the other way around, i seem to live in davel's head rent free since they went out of their way to un-siteban me to reissue the ban as individual comm bans instead so they could brigade/dogpile on my posts LMAO

In any event, I'm not just making memes either, I have documented their censorship:

https://lemmy.world/post/26783983

https://lemmy.world/post/26730734

https://lemmy.world/post/26416571

https://lemmy.world/post/26047186

https://lemmy.world/post/25811271

And their Authoritarian support

https://lemmy.world/post/26683568

https://lemmy.world/post/25933288

https://lemmy.world/post/25280256

https://lemmy.world/post/25129246

And the propaganda they allow to proliferate

https://lemmy.world/post/27416097

https://lemmy.world/post/27012640

And even what they think of other non-Tankie instances

https://lemmy.world/post/27352415

And that's not only just a sampling of what I've posted, everything I've collected on !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works the past couple weeks is a mere fraction of what they've been doing for years, if I actually did a deep dive into the modlog id probably find MUCH MUCH more

I do this because I consider Tankies to be an ongoing threat to the reputation of the Lemmy-verse and it's health, I've already seen expressions by others elsewhere like Reddit along the lines of "I tried Lemmy, but it seemed to be a bunch of tankies so I left".

[–] Mouette@jlai.lu 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yes that what I said they live rent free in your head get a life please, and accept that people on the internet might have different opinions than yours. Do you realize their might be people of different nationalities on Lemmy that have grown with their national narrative which might be different than yours ? Can you let them discuss and interaction with others without harassing them and spamming your narrative, which we can already find everywhere on internet especially on reddit ? We understood China and Russia bad thanks for the memo I hadn't had it yet.

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

"Why are you wasting your time fighting their left-flavored authoritarianism and toxicity‽ Just step aside and let them be to allow well known Russia/NK propaganda outlets to spread and proliferate and that "Russia is actually the good guys" already"

Thanks for the concern, however, I'll spend my free time how I see fit.

Most of my work is focused on documentation and the occasional meme, I find it funny and interesting that you hate that so much. But as we all know, authoritarians hate it when people expose them.

[–] Mouette@jlai.lu 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You are not fighting anything my guy you are actively harassing the very own people that develop the algorithm that let us interact together because, god forbid, they have different political opinion than you. Just go back to Reddit if you want an US echo chamber.

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

Please point me to this "harassment". Am I messaging them directly constantly? Am I following them on GitHub and posting on their comments?

Because documenting what they say and the actions they take is not "harassment", that sounds like a line straight out of the Drump administration or Muskrat TBH. In fact, I'm pretty sure Muskrat did use that line of narrative with that one person who was documenting his private jet flights.

Like I said, Authoritarians hate when people track what they do and will use all manner of words to discredit it, "harassment", "fake news" etc.

Just because you're doing good dev/open source work, does not mean you get a free pass to push and spread toxicity and harmful propaganda. Especially when using power and influence from that work to do it.

Typo in your !biology@mander.xyz ref. Takes me to manner.xyz which redirects to GoDaddy...

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Thanks lol, corrected. That's what I get for manually typing shit lmaooo

[–] Trilobyte@feddit.uk 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I've been browsing Lemmy for 2ish months, went ahead and made an account just recently. Deleted my Reddit account last week and I'm chuffed.

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 1 points 1 month ago

Welcome aboard.

[–] lavamushlam0287@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Fresh from reddit here. What is the difference in subscribing and bookmarking a community and how do I find them after I subscribe/bookmark?

I'm using the Summit app if that makes a difference.

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Subscribing is like Reddit, where your default frontpage view is only your subscribed communities. These communities could be from your server or a federated server, it just depends on what you subscribe to. You don't really need to think about how federation works, it'll just show up for you if you subscribe.

If you pick "Local" you'll see a feed of the the popular posts from all communities hosted on your own server only. Some of your subscribed comms might be in there if they're a local server comm. But it's just a general feed from your server alone.

If you go to "All" then you get a feed from all federated communities, so you could be seeing posts from /c/linux from lemmy.ml as well /c/linux from another server (though it's not likely to see posts from small communities unless you're an incorrigible doomscroller). Generally you'll run out of content on your subscribed only feed fairly quick due to the activity being relatively lower than Reddit, so browsing All gets you more content, but you'll run into a lot of irrelevant shit in the process. But it can be a good way to find more things to subscribe to, as well.

In any case, welcome. I fled reddit after 15 years of contributing by posting and modding when they burned the app community and shit on the people that made Reddit what it was. At least here I don't feel like my efforts to provide content and moderate is for someone else's benefit, least of all a greedy little pigboy like spez.

Be the change you want to see.

[–] lavamushlam0287@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Thank you so much for this!!

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

The one thing I'd add is that since you're on lemmy.world, your "Local" feed is fairly heavy with content since some the most active communities are on .world. That's not always the case if you're homed on a small server that nobody subscibes to comms from.

And you can sub to multiple communities of the same name, but different servers.

And you can block individuals or entire server. Sometimes your own server defaultly blocks servers, for instance, lemmy.world (our home server) blocks lemmynsfw and hexbear (because tankies). You won't see content or users from those servers with an account homed on lemmy.world. So if you want to browse porn, either manually browse to lemmynsfw.com and browse not logged in, or create an account if you feel the burning need to comment on porn posts.

Here for The Great Reddit migration. People left Digg for Reddit for similar reasons. Although the issues with Reddit are magnitudes more concerning.

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This isn't a full migration sadly, at least I don't think so. It's a welcome trickle of new users, but Reddit will need to do much worse to force a full on exodus. Though I have no doubt they will eventually. But I don't think we're getting another mass Rexit event until they turn off old.reddit.

[–] Zendegy@lemm.ee 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think more folks would come if they knew lemme.ee existed. I only found out it exists this morning.

Reddit has magnitudes more inertia, unfortunately. And a predominant sentiment seems to be “we should stay on Reddit to counterbalance the bad parts."

Or even worse, move to Discord :/

When I first joined Lemmy there was hardly conversation to be found but now things are starting to really pickup. Next you will really start to see niche communities thrive and I'm all for it.

Welcome to our reddit refugees!

Wait so Reddit is taking action against moderators who block X links on their subreddits? Wow! That’s draconian as fuck!

I hope we get a big influx. There’s so many small subreddits I like which have no Lemmy equivalent!

Reddit has turned into a real fuck of a fuck over the last few weeks. It was a bad omen when they started charging for API access, but that was just a preview. They're in full-on enshittification mode now.

You get shadowbanned for unspecified reasons, without apparently breaking any rules. They do cute shit with vague error messages rather than tell you what's up. Zero actual communication.

They're also busting people for upvoting super mario kart jpegs for some reason, but when they do that they actually tell you.

[–] trolololol@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I up voted a Mario Bros Luigi jpg and a few days later my login doesn't work.

That's actually the outcome I wanted, this is a celebration not a rant 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[–] RedSnt@feddit.dk 0 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

By total accident I found out that Digg is resurrecting, backed by Alexis Ohanian, a founder of Reddit (and husband of Serena Williams), and Kevin Rose, who originally founded Digg.
Maybe all the former Digg refugees that fled to Reddit will go right back to Digg.. Continue the cycle.
