Welcome to the fediverse!
Happy to try it though I haven’t found a cell app I much like yet.
I think the biggest challenge is going to be transplanting the knowledge. There are so many tutorials and walkthroughs that are on reddit.
It’s why what was working best was the Mods making everything private.
Wefwef is working well for me on iPad. I was used to using Apollo to browse reddit, so this has been a godsend. I’m starting to feel more comfortable with using Lemmy a bit more as I’m figuring out what is going on! I hope that the youthfulness of lemmy (to me anyway) is a nice filter from the overwhelmingness of reddit… the downside is that it feels very niche so far, but as adoption becomes more apparent, it will be a budding new “front page” for me.
But if you’re an apollo user, I’d suggest maybe looking at wefwef, and use that to interact with lemmy.
Thank you!
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!)
Hello
Spotted the neutral!
First comment on Lemmy. Is there a ELI5 for Lemmy to help get us started? I’m using the Connect Lemmy app!
Best I can say is that you have your local server, which is the server you originally signed up in. You then have all the rest of the connected (federated) servers that can see what you say.
Each server is its own mini-lemmy, so it is broken down into communities just like subreddits. Each has its own server administrators and each community has its own moderators.
Regarding content delivery, it seems to be about the same process: a link, image, video, or text from a certain community. The responses are similarly threaded with buttons for interaction.
The largest differences I have seen are that each server instance can have duplicate communities. Different servers have different tolerances for communities. In extreme cases, whole servers can be blocked (defederated) from your server. This is usually due to unwanted behavior from the users that is not curbed by the moderators or extreme communities that cause hardship for other users.
This is what I got after about a week of lurking. If I’m not correct, please let me know.
Thanks, so far Lemmy is looking like an interesting place with good vibes all round!
So far. Once it becomes completely mainstream, all the bad people will come in as well, imo. It do be like that with every community, sadly.
When that happens its time to migrate again
First time posting after 9 solid years on Reddit. Thanks for the welcome
Locals only! Haole go home!
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?
Science and fuckery
It’s been very common in my 3 weeks on Lemmy, it’s probably more common to see 100% upvotes.
I downvoted you. No one else had any downvotes; please let me know if it registered. I don’t want vote fuckery like they have on reddit.
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!
lemmy.world/c/bayarea is sort of active. I hope this site doesn’t fade out of popularity similar to the migration to voat back in the day. I do think the federation of lemmy will prevent a repeat of what’s currently going on with reddit ruining itself and 3rd party apps. Still learning how to use this site myself.
Thanks for the work you did on the SF sub; I got the sense it could be a handful on occasion. Nice to recognize some of the cool ex-redditors here. I modded /r/chaosmagick and a half-dozen other tiny subs. It’s pleasant to get away from the flustercuck spez has turned reddit into.
It could definitely be a handful
When will we get our own persistently-broken video player? That’s super important for my quality use experience.
Don’t forget an absolute garbage search that is never improved!
WELCOME ALLLLL!
First comment on Lemmy… Been a lurker on Reddit for years who’s recently become more active… Looking forward to contributing more on Lemmy! Network errors galore right now, but that’s a good thing right? Everybody coming over from Reddit in droves, I would imagine… Let’s f’in goooooo!
Edit: this comment gave me all sorts of problems while attempting to post, sorry for the duplicate versions… but I imagine this will calm down soon and all will be right as rain in no time 👍
Hey, hello community this is my first comment on Lemmy, good to see you all.
Welcome!
Welcome!
Hello. First post on Lemmy - y’all seem nice. Missing Sync for Reddit but I will move on. Thank you for having us
This atmosphere has good vibe. Goodbye RIF, hello Lemmy 👋
I love how massive this community is getting
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!
Then maybe stop passing this off as an alternative? For people whining about the UX of the new reddit app, this is also garbage.
