Are mods here terrible too? (lemmy.world)

Just started Lemmying today. Have lots of questions. Someone mentioned mod logs, so I went down a rabbit hole reading mod logs. The only reason I left reddit was because many mods are dicks. But reading the logs, it seems mods ban people and censor like crazy here too. Isn’t Lemmy supposed to be more free and open? How is this different from Reddit? I honestly don’t understand.

Okay. I don’t quite understand instances yet, but I think I see what you’re saying.

Instead of one central Reddit, imagine hundreds of mini-Reddits each with their own users, communities, rules, culture, etc. Now connect them all together so the users on each mini-Reddit can read/post/comment on any of the others. That basically how this works; each Lemmy instance is a mini-Reddit in a sea of peers.

May I suggest.....

!newtolemmy@lemmy.ca

I've been saying that day 1 new here is very overwhelming. I've been suggesting a whole "new to Lemmy" wiki, which explains all the normal questions. Until then, I reccomend this community.

Also.....don't call us Lemmings. Some people do it, and I'm trying to stop them. I prefer fediversians.

The lemming ship is long since sailed. I don’t love it but fediversians may be worse lol

I like "lemmies" but I haven't seen it used much...if ever....perhaps I made it up.

I’ve been suggesting a whole “new to Lemmy” wiki, which explains all the normal questions.

There is an FAQ in that community: https://sopuli.xyz/post/5798877?scrollToComments=true

Feel free to comment there with additional tips

You unintentionally bring up a point I've been confused about. How do I get rid of ?scrollToComments=true when I browse? I want my browser to stay at the top when I click a topic. Instead it ALWAYS skips the content, and scrolls me to the comments. I clicked for the content! I want my page to load at the top, and I'll scroll as I read.

How do I change that?
