Hello, new reddit refugee here. I've been hearing about the fediverse and mastodon some time now. Heard about lemmy a couple of months ago, but didn't feel the need to make an account at the time. With the dumpsterfire that's going on in reddit I figured it was high time I jumped ship.
I have a question that might sound stupid. Is there a way to get the same functionality as reddit's custom feeds in lemmy? Where you have multiple feeds that are "subscribed" to different sets of communities.
I saw Lemmy has already grown a lot over the weekend and I'm all for it getting bigger! To be honest I also feel a lot more motivated to actually post here instead of lurk.
And the community seems super nice so far!
I've been on reddit for far longer than I'd care to admit. It's been a weird feeling deleting all of my bookmarks and apps in an attempt to avoid just absently mindedly returning.
Hi people!
Heya! :)
Definitely. Everyone on Lemmy at this time seems very reasonable as well and I am finding that the discussion is typically of a much higher quality than on Reddit, so for those who don't usually engage, try it, it's definitely worth a shot here.
I'm not lurking. You are!
Finally I can speak instead of fearing bots and lurkers.
Let's defeat the 90/9/1-rule!
To be fair, I'm not sure if it helps to generate "fake" activity. IMHO the migration to lemmy will only work if the content will at least have a minimum amount of quality. Just posting random memes is probably not a good way to start.
Gladly! (now that I finally figured out how to comment in Jerboa) 👍
Alright... this marks the end of my lurking lifestyle then, I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm trying to not lurk, but it's a hard habit to break
I like Lemmy! I'll add something to the conversation, just this once...
Aye, captain o7! I've pretty much always lurked online, something about making posts that will possibly be on the internet forever scares me. Despite my anxiety, I've posted some art on my Kbin account, might upload some cat pics soon too.
Hi?
I’ve always lurked on Reddit but I’ll try my best to comment more
I also always lurked on Reddit but it Lemmy seems more fun so far :)
Well, I already voted and commented more here then I ever did on Reddit, so that should work out :)
It’s a bit difficult getting into Lemmy and the feediverse I gotta say. But after looking around for a while I really like how things work here, compared to reddit
I started using Mastodon a couple if years ago; didn't stay for long but it definitely felt more...friendly than Reddit, or personal I suppose. Glad I found Lemmy though I love the message board/forum format way better than a Twitter like format that Mastodon seems to have, though I do like both
Agreed! I am curious with this, how did you guys find out about Lemmy? In my case, I was scrolling through Reddit and saw somebody talking about Lemmy. I researched a little bit and here I am! I would love to hear from y'all tho
