First time posting after 9 solid years on Reddit. Thanks for the welcome

Bathroom's that way.

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!

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.

My first comment on Lemmy!

I think registration finally worked this time. Good news, everyone!

NGL

it doesn't feel great, but change is never easy. but this thing is pretty damn cool

Rip Rif. Hello Lemmy.

Spiderman: Into The Fediverse

Here from RiF! First post on Lemmy, here's to a bright future ^^

Here we go.

Really hope this takes off and remains open and non-commercial.

First post! 🤸

Apollo refugee here! Let’s hope this sticks because I lost all trust in Reddit.

Hey, hello community this is my first comment on Lemmy, good to see you all.

Woo

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?

Thank you for the warm welcome. Any tips and tricks for us Reddit refugees?

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.

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 all reminds me of the big Digg migration. Reddit likes to think that people chose it because it was special. For a good majority of us, especially the 10+ year accounts, it was Digg's terrible redesign and very poor product decisions. The nail in the coffin was not understanding its core content producing users willingness to move. History repeats itself.

After a year I went back and tried using Reddit again, wow, what an absolute shit show. That site got noticeably worse.

I had an account there for 8 years with no issue, and this time around I was perma banned after a week cause the mods have really gone off the deep end.

Most threads are filled with Ai comments that all say basically the same thing, and if your comment differs you're banned. You can't have a discussion there anymore

Well it was a good ride at Reddit. I was using Reddit since since 2006 as a lurker. Lemmy is now my home. Hi all!

What Apps are people using? Wefwef?

Glory to forwardlooker!

Thank you for the kind greeting. I really am a refugee in more ways than just leaving Reddit.

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!

Testing Lemmy using my browser, what’s the best app?

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.

I remember surfing chans back in the day. I've missed it, but life gets busy. I hated reddit for a long told, but it had so much good information on there and such good third party apps that I caved and it became my favorite thing to do while shitting. I just found out about Lemmy and it feels like I slipped on an old broken-in glove. Thanks for the welcome. After the toxicity of reddit, this is nice.
