We're surely in the golden age of Lemmy where the moderators are numerous and engaged enough to keep up with the bots, spammers, and hate mongers. It makes it a pleasant place to be, even if it seems to be overflowing with beans at the moment.
This is my first Lemmy post!
I didn't post on Reddit because I felt no desire to give free content to a business making money from me. Although lots of people really felt like it was a community, I didn't. I thought it was like a theme park - dressed up like a town in order to make you feel like you weren't inside a store. This seems like a real community, at least at the moment.
Agreed. Maybe it's because aside from such a welcoming community, a lot of us shared this collective experience coming from Reddit. It oddly feels at home here.
No, I still remain a lousy human
Yup, mostly lurker to poster
I am exactly the same. I have posted here more times than I did on Reddit in total.
There is just something ‘nice’ about being here. I love that there are region/area specific sites you can join and go from there. I have joined the UK specific Feddi.uk and have found a lot to enjoy.
Let’s all help make this the place to be going forwards.
Same here! It helps that there's a lot less negativity here overall, similar to the earlier days of Reddit.
It's actually the other way around here... on reddit, i often found silly arguments I'd end up getting involved in and it'd end up taking so much of my time with stupid stressful bickering. Here, i mostly see sensible discussion, and any points i want to make are already being thoughtfully discussed, so there's no need for me to wade in.
I haven't been, unfortunately. I joined around a week ago and this is my first comment. It seems I'm just as much of a lurker here as I was on Reddit. I suppose this is as good a time as any to change that and try to become more active.
I posted a fair amount on Reddit, this place seems fun.
I havent posted as much here, yet... but I love Lemmy like I love mastodon. I feel like I can have real conversations with real people-- which is something that has been severely lacking on the internet for years.
I’m trying to find the most popular communities so I can figure out what websites blogs I can post and generate content like I was used to when browsing subreddits
Yeah, definitely engaging way more than before. People are nicer here.
As someone who experienced the digg migration, this is the magical place Reddit once was
I've posted here in the past week or two more than I posted on Reddit in the past 11 years. I think it's the smaller more engaged community that encourages me to do it. Comments don't just get lost in a sea of jokes and grammar bots.
I spent years on Apollo and never even made an account, would just infinite scroll at work. Made an account on Lemmy and already feel like I’m more engaged
I love posting here! It, like you said, has a much nicer and kinder vibe here 💕
Have not made a post yet (busy with school and work) but I definitely comment more. Feels so much like web 1.0 forums with a splash of 2.0.
I didn't make posts all that often on reddit, but I definitely commented a fair amount. The problem I've got with lemmy right now is there's not as much discussion about stuff I'm interested in, so I'm mainly just looking at All instead of keeping to my subscribed communities.
There's a subject I follow in a sub on reddit and there's no equivalent community here on Lemmy, but no way am I going to start it because I don't want to moderate it. :/
I've become a more avid lurker compared to a infrequent lurker on reddit
Almost any thread i opened within the first few posts someone already said what i would have said, so i would just scroll until i found my confirmation bias, updoot and move on. i wonder if lemmy will get so massive that the problem comes here.
I’ve always been a comment contributor. I just do it here instead of that old alien site. Also wiped my stuff over there.
I'm pretty sure I already have more posts on Lemmy than my entire 10 years on Reddit 🤣
Can't really explain why but I'm way more active here. I think I just really want Lemmy to succeed.
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
