    Hey! I’m keeping this as it’s targeted at new users from Reddit. However, in future please find another community to post this on, because it is not related to the lemmy.world instance specifically.

    Glad to see an alternative is gaining traction! The inversed colours for up and downvotes will take some getting used to!

    To double-check that I understand Lemmy correctly: the equivalent to a subreddit is a server, right? So within lemmy.world there aren’t necessarily subforums/topics/subreddits.

    I just subscribed to Lemmy.world via Beehaw, which already has a good community. Looking forward to being part of the discussions in these new integrated frontiers :)

    I like what Lemmy’s got going on - noticed there’s no upvotes/downvotes on comments, but if that’s my only gripe, it’s a very minor one. Currently lurking and replying from a Mastodon account, but it’s a bit janky (I have to copy links back to my Mastodon instance to find the post to reply to it), so I’ll probably end up registering for a separate Lemmy account too.

    Ngl, us r/efugees are not happy with things over there.

    As much as I’m coming to enjoy this, it still isn’t what reddit was, nor is the app experience anything close to as feature rich. But, I’m finding other benefits here that are, and never were, possible at reddit, so it’s still a good thing :)

    Reddit is proof that no publicly traded company, nor any that intends to be, can be trusted with anything. Not use that was ever in doubt, but reddit has shown it in such a glaring, grotesque way that it’s the poster child for how shitty corporate thought is.

    I dunno. I was enjoying things. I had started moderating two subs I deeply cared about, with one having a strong sense of community building. There’s an emotional response to the loss of that. But I’ll be damned if I’m going to put in the work, put in the passion, when it’s shit on by the very company that profits from my free labor. fuck spez, fuck reddit

    I really like the UI. The sign up process was a little rough though. The idea of the different servers and signing up via those servers was a little jarring at first.

    I barely can figure out how this works here. I use the Jerboa app and I often get the error message “Language not allowed” when trying to reply. Can anyone help me with this?

    I’m excited for a new experience. I only commented about 5 times my entire time on Reddit and I hoping to interact more here.

    I feel like I’m back in the best part of the early-mid 00s, when the entire internet was running on phpbb or some random local social networks with 500 users. I missed those, glad to be back in the new, hopefully better, interpretation of those times. Overall, it’s quite nostalgic here. ❤️

    There are some features I miss. I always loved finding subs that allowed one to set a custom user flair, and I don’t think we have that yet. And, of course, there aren’t as many people, so some communities are just empty. Trying to figure out if a community is already out there or if I should try and make one myself, it’s a little overwhelming to just start out. But… It’s exciting. I don’t know if this place will be a forever home, but it’s promising.
