We can make this a great interesting place and more people will join
Hey! I’m keeping this as it’s targeted at new users from Reddit. However, in future please find another community to post this on, because it is not related to the lemmy.world instance specifically.
So you were going to remove this extremely important message for Lemmy growth only because you think it is targeted towards Lemmy users? It is targeted toward lemmy.world and Lemmy users thats why I putted it there, the message is more important than just being wrong community. The message is important. It is the second most upvoted post for a reason
Instead of locking every post and giving very bad impresion to new users can you just do a read before post and delete the NEW content that is unrelated? Everyone would apreciate that
Honestly, after spez described this protest as “noise”… I said F- that. And, now I host lemmyonline.com.
Cheers to the movement.
All the introverts: o.o’
I agree- but, I really wish some of these bugs were ironed out.
If, I was not getting random errors popping up every few minutes, and tons of latency, I would be much more willing to start putting a lot more content here.
Also, still learning how the federated communities works…
We need accessibility first, honestly the site is kinda confusing and acts weirdly on mobile and the official app is the same, both of these two need to use simple design, the android app is focusing on material you theme but most of the people here I believe the want usability rather than asthetic, I know it’s free and hard work that I’m criticising, but we simple users need to build and make the communities better while the developers working on the site and the accessibilities, together we will break the chain of proprietary.
Yes
Reddit-lurker for 9 years. Starting off with a comment event before understanding how this thing works. The sky is the limit from here on!
You lurked for 9 years without commenting? That’s dedication - I think I broke somewhere in my 3rd year of redditing lol
Haha, I don’t know about dedication, just never found the need to engage over there. Reddit is (was!) a source of entertainment, news and information, not conversation for me. But already from stalking a bit over here I find the conversation more positive and on point, so things might change for me
I was mostly a lurker at reddit, but I’ll definitely try to be more active here, especially in this early phase of migrating away from reddit
Im right there with you. Trying to be a little more “vocal” here
me too (: apes together strong!
I don’t lurk just to lurk, I just have nothing to say most of the time. Still waiting on the niche reddit communities I was a part of to make it here, if they ever do.
Be the change you want to see! In one week I’ve made more comments on here than the last two years on Reddit. If the communities you want don’t exist, start them up and post the type of content you’d like to see.
Same here! Though, I’m also a chronic upvoter, so I hope that makes up for it.
Upvoting is also important to make the best content appear on top
Upvoting isn’t working for me. I click it, watch it change, then after about 2 seconds the upvote goes away.
I gotta stop lurking…
More importantly, talk about stuff besides Reddit!
I tried using Voat 6(?) years ago when there was a similar (but smaller-scale) protest. The fact that a lot of Voat users were those chased out of hate subs was part of the problem, but the other part of the problem was that half the content was “look how much better we are than reddit”.
Discussion about reddit is fine (it is still a big site), but we need our own content too.
I forgot all about voat.
I’m hopeful that large scale subs going dark will help us. That and being forced off of 3rd party apps.
I tried to move over to Voat but it very quickly turned into a cesspit.
It’s almost as if making a site dedicated to people too racist, sexist, antisocial, etc, for even Reddit’s lax moderation policies, was a bad idea.
And that’s before it became a central hub for literal treason.
Woohoo… First comment :)
Welcome, hyperslob!
Thanks cookiecollision.
I’ve just discovered the app Jerboa. It’s available for Android, don’t know about Apple. Not shilling but it’s a great experience really. I was using Relay for Reddit and I feel right at home. Really have to recommend it!
Finding it challenging to get my head around this federation concept but I have a kbin.social account also. Hopefully someone will make a good YouTube introduction to the whole affair. Happy to be here, and hats off to the Devs.
Day one here for me, also using Jerboa on Android. So far it’s working perfex@!+/“”"
I use the web version because the app has some bugs
I just don’t like using web versions of stuff. I like apps. Jerboa isn’t bad, and I imagine it’ll improve if/when more people start using it. I just started, came from Reddit when the subs went dark, but so far I like it here, and I like Jerboa.
Im using mlem for iOS, but find the web experience better. Came from Apollo app for Reddit. Can’t wait till the proper iOS apps get made or mlem gets closer to how Apollo used to be!
Don’t tell me how to Lemmy…
I mean you’re right.
I have been trying to upping my game from Liking to Commenting. Still didn’t have Idea to post though, lol…
I lurked reddit for years before I made my first comment. Some of the larger subreddits still feel so hostile I rarely posted on them. Enjoying the feel of this place though.
Yeah I feel this place has more of a community vibe than reddit.
I’m doing my part!
If we comment even when we have nothing to say we end up with comments like ‘this’
this
That
These
those
that
The other thing.
pretty much.
