    99.9% of the time I’m just lurking on Reddit, but here I‘m actually getting interested in commenting again. Feels „safer“ than the other place.

    I was looking for reddit alternatives before and didn’t pull through. Now that I did (first hour), I dont see why anyone wouldn’t “migrate”.

    Ah, and I’m using “eternity”. Reminds me of the old days before reddit turned facebook.

      Switched to LibreOffice, and Betterbird for Mail. Works well so far. Using Vivaldi as a browser, that’s a European project but with a modified Chrome core as far as I understand, the built-in AdBlocker works fine in combination with NoScript, even on mobile. Trying out Linux Mint so I can switch the OS when Windows 10 loses support later this year.

    This is my third or fourth alt on Lemmy since joining. I love that I can stick to one account or change instances if I feel like it. It’s not too difficult to get used to! I’m getting a desktop app next.

    I like that there’s an application process for each instance. That gives you a good idea of how the instance is managed and what to expect.

    I love that I can get German news and interact with Germans and German language speakers. Or, in other words, I love that it’s not default centralized American.

    It’s really cool seeing their instances next to everyone’s handle. There’s so much here! I feel a lot safer. I love that everyone is human.

    I see @Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com everywhere. I have been here a day and I think I have upvoted them 15 times already. Haha

    I’m surprised how quickly I’ve gotten used to it! I honestly really like the mobile app and it’s gestures, as well as the customizability.

    Although I don’t think I’ll be completely quitting reddit just yet, as some of my more niche interests don’t have communities here yet.

    It’s kind of empty and I thought about stopping my boycott of Reddit because I think it hurts the US more to use Reddit as a place to talk because unfortunately that’s where everybody is. Still couldn’t get myself to do it though, but I’m struggling to find content here on Lemmy and I suspect maybe I don’t know how to use it

    It’s pretty fun, it does stuff better than Reddit so I’m focusing on that. Personally I’m enjoying that you can scroll through so many parts when searching for a topic

      Welcome! I’l glad you like it.

      you can scroll through so many parts

      Do you mean the instances or the feeds?

    Thanks, I love it so far. Been feeling a little guilty for staying on Reddit after the API changes but felt too daunting to learn how to fediverse. Glad I finally pushed myself to do it. (Sync helped a lot too since I had it for Reddit before and was/is awesome!)

      Welcome ! I don’t know Sync but people seems to like it for Lemmy and there is lot of other choice to try for.

    I’m as confused as the next guy, but I’m hanging in there! I’m not sure if the decentralized nature means I’m missing communities because I’m looking in the wrong place, or if there’s just fewer stuff around.

      I feel the same, but it helps to not just browse “subscribed” but to also check out “local” and especially “all”

      You can also take a few minutes and check out the “communities” overview and join those you recognise by name or browse a few of them to decide if you want to join them.

      It does not matter on which instance most of the time. Also, I am subscribed to similar communities on different instances, cause why not. Worst case scenario: I get duplicate news.

      Someone will correct me if I’m wrong but I think that you will see more stuff in All if more people from your instance are subscribed to more communities from other instances.

        Yet it is the case. But if you are in a smaller english speaking instance, you should have most big general community federated to your instance.

        Go up to Communities

        Change Local to All

        Search there.

        if you’re on an even slightly busy instance, you’ll probably see most of what exists.

        if someone is on a smaller instance, they can go to https://lemmy.world/communities, select ALL and see what exists

        For the most part, just going to all on any server with a couple hundred users should be enough to see most of the communities.

    Hi, thx for warm welcome, had a harder moment learning multi-server architecture of Lemmy, now I’m fine. Still did not abandoned the other portal (actively trying to get banned there by being a rebel tho).

    How bout You? how’s Your day? :)

    I’m missing some of my topics. Is noone interested in dating, dating advice, self improvement, psychology and this stuff?

    Or am I missing something?

    People are nice here. I like that. 😊👍
