Funny to think back in the day WatchPeopleDie, jailbait and fiftyfifty was all the rage. Now Nintento charachters are banned
I’ll make the mandatory “Hi, I came here from Reddit” post that I’m guessing is mandatory on lemmy for threads dunking on the site? Might as well be my first post in the fediverse too to get that out of the way. Wish I had known about lemmy sooner tbh but better late than never.
Also if someone has the spare time for it, I’d love to get pointed towards whatever’s commonly used for onboarding here. If there stuff I should be aware of and tools I should look into, what phone apps people use, that sorta stuff. I picked my host because I wanted something european but I’m now kinda eyeing the old layout option that world seems to have since I used to use the old layout on reddit too.
Voyager is basically a spiritual successor to Apollo. So if you miss that from the API purge, then give it a try.

I’m a big fan of Sync app. It was formerly a Reddit app. It doesn’t get much updates but it’s fully functional for my needs.
For a phone app, I use boost. There are ads, but they are FAR less intrusive than most mainstream apps.
You came at the right time. When I left during the API nightmare and removal of third party apps, Lemmy was like walking into a desert wasteland and praying it loaded up and you weren’t just standing there in the void.
When it did load, where sand should be in the wasteland, it was beans. Slimy, canned beans as far as the eye could see.
You’ve entered during the golden age if you ask me. I don’t even think about Reddit anymore.
I use Voyager for Lemmy on Android (it looks like Reddit-is-Fun), but unlike Reddit, Lemmy has no API restrictions, so you can use whatever you want, to get the design/layout that works for you best.
Enjoy your time here and take it easy!
Connect for lemmy is a RIF-esque ui that I enjoy.
WELCOME. It’s so much better here. Can’t help with onboarding but you’ll get used to it. Oh and I’d recommend you use voyager app for browsing if you don’t know already
anyone know what it was?
According to Subreddit Drama:
We really are at the point where doing what the allies (US) did in WW2 is unacceptable content huh?
Mockery of history
Well, you see, it’s bad unless the government tells us it’s good.
cool
I saw someone post that! I love those stickers.
Some people in the comments said that it was a sticker depicting a crosshair over the photo of Elon doing the Nazi salute.
not happening here though
I haven’t used Reddit for years but I get a lot more timeouts and comment removals here than I ever did over there.
The modlog would beg to differ. Come on, don’t be dishonest, we can all see why you got comment removals and timeouts.

You just said “Nuh uh” and then completely agreed with everything I said. And then quite suspiciously your comment gained more upvotes than comments made hours earlier than it, almost instantly.
“I keep getting muted and timed out for no reason here!”
“Actually, we can see why you’re being muted and it’s for a valid reason”
“Yeah well you just agreed with me!”
I didn’t say for no reason, that would be silly. You’re silly.
I think the secret recipe is nobody bothered to click the link.
I know the truth stings, child.
To be fair, they really ramped it up on Reddit, however I think Lemmy just depends on the community and instance. I mean, hell, 196 split up kind of over this stuff (or at least, that was the initial trigger imo).
If you find yourself censored on World, there’s quite a few other options (although usually farther left or tankie). Folks just need to host their own versions of things, although we rarely see more conservative folks bothering. Given how federation works, it’s actually a wonder there isn’t a Truth Social style community out there for most of us to block. >.>
Remit removes all the time, but they shadow remove so you never get a notification or anything.
That’s ultimately what pissed me off into deleting my account. If I even say the name Luigi my post is automatically shadow removed? I don’t want to spend any time on a platform like that.
Oh, absolutely dude… People on here are absolutely the thinnest skinned I think I’ve ever seen on the internet, bar none. And they all seem to want to start shit over something and then act astonished and run to mods for help if they get any sort of response in kind.
Hey, here’s a thought: If you wanna talk shit to people, you probably shouldn’t be shocked if you get it right back… And if you have to then go get a mod because you’re now butthurt over a fight you picked? What, was your mom busy or something? 🤣😂 Cuz that’s the exact energy I get from that
I don’t get what kind of communities and posts y’all are hanging out in where people talk shit and start shit 🥴
I’ve mostly only had proper interactions with folks here. Some miniscule percentage of rude assholes who are looking for a reaction, but other than that, much smoother than Reddit ever was.
I have encountered some rage here that reminded me of Reddit but it’s much more rare.
Much rarer in my experience also. I am much more at peace here, and find myself much less inclined to frantically refresh my inbox when having conversations here.
Notifications here make me excited in a good way, rather than raise my blood pressure like they did on Reddit.
Oh fuck someone identified a tiny flaw in what I said!
It’s always the stupidest shit for me, tbh… Like yesterday there was a post of an (obviously fake) tweet from Dave Ramsey (a “Christian” ~~financial consultant/planner ~~ grifter) that said ‘fuck your 401k, go buy that truck you want now’ or something to that effect, which led to a few conversations in the comments that revolved around what was essentially the cost effectiveness of actually following the (clearly horrible) tweet’s advice.
This one dude makes a comment in which he basically says “no, that makes sense. Used car values are on a bell curve and will sell for more than what you purchased it for 30 years ago at around the same rate of return youd get from an index fund” in not so many words. Now, I’m not in financing (or cars tbh), and tbf I do a pretty heroic amount of drugs generally speaking, but I’m almost certain that that’s not how ANY of that works… lol So i made a little comment politely saying so, laying out my logic for my position, and making sure to explicitly state that I’d be more than open to being proven wrong, but I wanna see some proof, which I didnt think was too awfully crazy or anything until dude replied shortly after babbling that I just needed to look it up, and something about hilux(?); I dunno, just being kind of a prick, demanding I find his proof for him, and then complaining about me (or people on lemmy in general, maybe?) cant take jokes so seriously. Big ‘do your own research’, MAGA, ‘it WaZ A PraNK bRo’ energy.
I can link it if anyone is having SRD withdrawls or something lol
ngl I’d like to see both sides of that conversation 😄

Ask and ye shall receive! 😋
Maybe I just come across really aggressively or something and I’m completely oblivious to it, somehow? 🤷♂️ I dunno… I feel like any time I just try to participate in whatever random conversation I stumble across that interests me on here and have the audacity to disagree even slightly with someone, it’s like they just suddenly go from 0 to absolute fucking bell end instantly.
I am genuinely trying to be as polite as possible, tried to demonstrate my willingness to acknowledge being wrong in the face of evidence if given some, and didn’t even call his mom a cunt or anything (as far asI I’m aware lol)… I mean, shit, sometimes I just like playing Devil’s advocate for the hell of it, regardless of whatever my personal feelings regarding “X topic” may be. Maybe that’s why I don’t get the whole sudden aggression when faced with even the smallest hint of dissension at all times!
That is partially because some of the refugees from Reddit, happen to be assholes. So they go and make instances thinking that they’ll be better than their Reddit counterparts, only to demonstrate that they are just as bad and probably showcasing the reasons why.
Good?

Where have you been the last decade that you notice this now?
