    Copped a permaban on reddit when I started taking about the Luigivolution, lamenting the current nightmare because some numpty couldn’t properly set his windage, insisting that Nazi lives don’t matter, and finally changing my nym to DutifullyPunchingNazis. I guess somewhere in there was the final straw.

    Quite literally signed up for lemmy just now cause of this. So many of the sites that helped make the internet boring are committing self harm, twitter, fb, and now reddit - the old “decentralization” arguments were kind of boring to me but now I ache for the old internet and gosh darn it if the billionaires are making the best case against themselves.

        Start subscribing to communities across instances - it will drastically improve your feed quality and the overall Fediverse at the same time.

        In the Fediverse, note that when you hit “All or New” you’re only seeing the instances that people on your server have already subscribed to at a previous point in time. By subscribing to new communities on separate instances, you’re opening a gateway for other users on the server to start discovering it as well.

      its not the servers or the domain name that makes reddit valuable, its us the people. we are what bring value to their platform. may freedom of speech live on ✊

      No for-real, just came from Reddit as well, and so far this app is pretty amazing.

          Awe thank your LordCrom much appreciated. I am still learning and seeing how to maneuver through this app. Trying to whisper to a couple of my friends that there’s an app better than Reddit, and to join us.

          I have the voyager on iOS, which I assume is the only provider for this Lemmy. When this phone dies out I will be switching to android and I’ll just have to shop around. So far I am very very impressed with the UI and the application itself.

            I’m also using Voyager on android. There are other apps, like Sync if you had used it for reddit. There are dozens of apps and instances you can use, so if there’s ever anything you don’t like, you can probably find an alternative.

              Is Sync only for android? I only see voyager as the only app for iOS/iPhone users. And if I was to switch to android is it only through apk or are there multiple applications that you can use for Lemme on google play store?

                I’m not an iOS user, but I checked the app store website and I can see several apps. Voyager, mlem, Arctic, Thunder, Avelon, Echo to name a few.

                Not sure what you mean by ‘only apk’, every android app is an apk. That’s what the play store distributes too. But yes, there are several options on Google Play as well. Voyager, Sync, Connect, Boost, Summit, Eternity, Thunder, Jerboa, Raccoon, etc.

                I personally have tried more than half of those, and every one has some design aspects that I dislike, but I settled on Voyager for now. Still hoping that the Rif developer ports their old reddit app

    Honestly think this is newsworthy and worth talking about here as well, if not moreso…

    https://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/1j5cqq1/multiple_subreddits_express_concern_after_reddit/

    Just the fact that someone gets noticed and potentially talked to if they just upvote, and not say anything, seems like something that’s never been done before, and is a bit shocking to see.

      im on another site where people use evasion methods to use mutltiple accounts, said upvotes are monitored by reddit and removed/ban the user quickly in some case like if you have multiple accts before doing the same thing and not commenting or whatever before. i think they just increased thier filtering of upvotes, its so sensitive that new accts wether your a real user or someone using of/advertising, that if you upvote too many times anyways, not just violence, it can get you shadowbanned.

    Still got my Reddit acct but yeah. I set up a Lemmy acct when I saw this. For insurance when the rest of Reddit fully enshitifies.

      was banned early last month, because r/technology was filled with trump news and i was reporting obvious misinformation, the site said you cant report other people like that, and i was banned. depending on the sub, there is a very vague way of reporting people.
