Just checking the place out after not being able to stand Reddit and its policies anymore. Their policing of Luigi posts was the last straw for me. Going public ruins companies.
Check out the booty (no not that booty, treasure!)

But also check out the booty
There’s no going back anyways. I’ve tried making new accounts. It’s impossible to post anywhere.
The account vetting filters block me everywhere. Can’t post unless I’m a vetted poster. Can’t become vetted because I can’t post to begin with. I can’t be bothered to seek out and karma farm on random subreddits that aren’t a mess of filters.
I remember back in the day I heard that /r/counting was the easiest place to farm some starting karma on a new account since they didn’t have a karma requirement to comment
Welcome. Here’s some stuff:
All that and no beans?
Are you lemminging, son?
Nope. I’m dissociating!
here’s a tip:
- subscribe to communities, then browse by “subscribed” and “new”
- when you run out of new posts on your subscribed communities, browse by “all” and “new”, and look for more communities to subscribe to
I also like “all” and “top 6 hours” to mix it up
That’s my default bookmark.
I’m more of a “all”/“subscribed” & “top day” dude, but it probably won’t take too much experimentation to find a mode that fits well
At least here we can choose how we’re browsing without an algorithm shoving posts at us
Happy cake day!
I’m here for the same reasons. I’m still figuring it out. So far so good though.
I joined a few weeks after the Reddit API was made paid, but I left Reddit the day it happened. Better late than never, I guess. Welcome to Lemmy.
If you wanna delete your Reddit account, make sure you use PowerDeleteSuite to get rid of all of your posts and comments before clicking that delete button on your account. Not doing so will keep your contributions to the website live.
Hello fellow lemming. Welcome aboard!
Only issue you might find with signing up for world is you can’t get db0’s piracy communities. I’ve been too lazy to switch since coming from kbin though myself.
Weird part is the last announcement I can find from .world admins said those communities were going to be reinstated, but then here we are months later and they still seem busted.

Yeah, that’s the one we don’t allow. You found it.
Do not encourage violence.

You can make your own Lemmy iinstance and be your own censorship police, that’s the difference. Thats NOT an option on Reddit.
Hell, you don’t even have to be on Lemmy, Mastodon, any if the Bins etc can interact bacause they alo use ActivityPub.
There are plethora of instances people don’t federate with becase they don’t agree with them, that’s how it SHOULD be.
D’ya like star trek, bub?
No? Well, you’re gonna!
I’ve been here for like a year and a half, and I’m still not interested in Star Trek all that much.
Of course I use Linux, why else would I be using Lemmy.

Agreed and welcome! Be prepared to engage in or create a new space for the communities you care about. Things feel like they’re just getting started here, but that’s ok. Good luck and have fun!
I’m glad you knew exactly the community to turn to first 😂
dont forget to checkout mbin. its slightly less fugly than lemmy with access to all the same content/functionality and more.
That’s quite the url
Welcome!
You’ll find that the volume here is much (much much MUCH!!!) lower than reddit. As frustrating as this can be, the only solution is to stand and create more content. More worthwhile posts, more comments, more interaction. At its height, that was exactly what made reddit successful.
Well, it also means it’s easier to comment and post without getting immediately buried.
