Showed as white on white on my UI, so here’s the picture below.
A few pointers for new joiners:
Yeah, shows my image editing fu. Thanks for pointers! I did do a search but turned out my fu is not particularly strong there either…
No worries, thank you for this post, it’s nice to welcome people from Reddit!
This is perfect tho, it outs light mode creatures as the monsters they are. /j
White theme? Oh god, how do you not… you know…
Is there a reason why you’re promoting !ask@lemm.ee now? Ask Lemmy communities already exist on both .world and .ml, creating another community seems kinda counterproductive to me.
Feel free to have a look at !fedigrow@lemm.ee

BuT WherES aLL My KaRMA?!? /s
fucking happy to be here!
Here. You’ve got four of it.
Same here
Maybe I’ll updoot, maybe I’ll downdoot who knows? You don’t have to worry about internet points here
This seems really cool. It’s taking me a bit to get used to but honestly I’ll probably stay here.
Welcome to Lemmy, here are a few pointers to help you settle in
Reporting for duty.
Welcome. I think you will like it here. We’re kind of like reddit except we aren’t trying to make money from you, or your content. And we are more likely to follow the golden rule. And swear. Lots of swearing.
and we don’t limit or kill 3rd party app support, but rather support them, and even have a page about apps for lemmy which are, 3rd party
Welcome friend! I’ve been keeping your seat warm * mini-fart *
Can some people who are willing to post something other than American politics and Reddit bashing posts join lemmy soon, I’m sick of my entire feed being nothing but all these negative topics
You could either block a few communities or make your following feed your main one. I prefer the first case as it allow community with less trafic to reach the top of the page.
There is a lot animal pictures, some fantasy genre conversation and plenty of renewable energie discussion somewhere hidden behind the very detailled and commented biographie of the trump/musk duo.
Use an app with filter lists. Add american political terms to filter. Experience gets muuuuuch better.
For those of us using Firefox there was a post on !youshouldknow@lemmy.world on how you can use uBlock Origin to create word filters.
To do so, open up the uBlock Origin dashboard, go to the ‘My filters’ tab, and add this filter:
lemmy.world##article.row:has-text(/word1|word2|word3|word4/i)For example:
lemmy.world##article.row:has-text(/Trump|Elon|Musk|nazi/i)Remarkable functionality. Thanks for helping me and everyone else out
You can also block certain users who post in a certain way.
Feel free to practice blocking users on me.
Blocking all of the political and news communities can help
!communitypromo@lemmy.ca has a pinned post without active non political communities
Have you considered making the world less negative?
I think Lemmy is a bit too complicated to attract the kind of light-hearted users that made Reddit shine. It’s daunting unless you have nowhere else to go.
Idk, I came here with no idea about the instance system, I joined one that was near the top of the list, realised it was entirely Tankies, and made an account on the instance this account is on. I think people are likely to have a similar experience.
Hear about Lemmy -> join one of the first instances they see -> realise how things actually work -> make an account on an instance that’s properly researched and more aligned with the person
Took me 3 tries to get one I liked. I wish new users were put in some “default instance” with no defederations so users can pick and choose where to go better.
Like window shopping
It would take someone being willing to host something like that, and every other instance agreeing with the idea. It’s a nice idea, but I really don’t think that it’d happen, too many moving parts, too many people to convince, and honestly too much risk of ending up a hotbed of unsavoury content, CSAM etc.
People on
- !gardening@lemmy.world

Hi :) it’s a niche community but I’m doing what I can
Right there with you, it’s going to be a long four years…
Just block the subs. Or subscribe to communities that interest you and stick to your subscribed feed.
More Star Trek memes!
Star trek is very political lol
Big things are happening in the world right now. I know that it sucks.
I had a discussion the other day, where people were not happy with lemmy instances not handing data over to google. They argument was that we should do everything so lemmy can be found more easily, as the only goal is to “win” against reddit.
Unfortunately in that discussion people were not interested in using Lemmy and the Fediverse at large to create a positive vision of the internet. They just wanted to stick it to one corporation they don’t like. I don’t like reddit either, but i think we should thrive for a Fediverse that upholds decentralization, open source and non commercialization of social interactions. All the large Internet corporations want to create the opposite and have been quite successful so far.
They will come, and they will go. Let them.
I agree with you. It’s short sighted to give in to a separate corporation to “beat” the first. The only way to beat Reddit is to stop using it and forget about it.
The goal should be to remove the ability for a single entity to control the public flow of discourse.
I’m off to buy a Lemmy sticker to put on my thinkpad
glad to be here!
Dozens+1 ! :)
happy to be here~~
How come theres been an influx of users recently? Did reddit shit the bed again?
say luigi and get warned
what did luigi do to you, reddit?
For some people, Trump has shit the bed (invasion threats, trade wars etc) and has stimulated a number of people to move away from US-controlled services and products.
I got a warning today about upvoting violence. The only thing I have upvoted in the last little while is pro-Canada stuff like elbows up. If that gets me kicked off Reddit then fuck them and fuck spez the little pig boy.
For me I left Reddit recently and switched because Reddit made a change that broke the Boost app.
Reddit recently started doubling down on far-right actions. Like making it so you can be banned for just upvoting a post that breaks the rules, or banning you for saying the name “Luigi.”
Personally, I recently got permabanned for being truthful about fascists.
Yes they started banning thousands of active users for “inciting violence” if you say things like “fuck Elon musk” or “my favorite character in super Mario bros is Luigi”
I still don’t understand this whole Luigi thing…
They seem to think if they censor hard enough that people will stop hating murderous billionaires.
You mean you weren’t familiarised with the Luigi Mangione story?
deleted by creator
Yup. I’m new to Reddit and Lemmy.
Well, someone murdered the United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson and it is alleged that this guy named Luigi Mangione did it. The media went into a frenzy trying to make us hate Luigi, but since most Americans experience what is like to live under a system that treats healthcare as a way to make profits, nobody did. They even tried framing this as a left x right issue instead of a class issue but even many people on the right didn’t think Luigi did anything wrong. Luigi is also a conventionally attractive dude, so it’s hard for the media to play with people’s preexisting prejudices. After many attempts, they seem to have decided the best approach to this was to suppress all speech on the matter. They are trying to frame this murder as an act of terrorrism and seem to be very scared of the public response to this. Reddit is trying to ban any mention to Luigi (even Nintendo related ones), and also has banned many people who did as little as upvote a comment related to him.
Kind of a lot 😅
Interesting. Thanks a lot.
The Luigi thing is ridiculous and Nintendo will probably sue
Someone need to give them an idea, if we know one thing it’s how Nintendo likes to sue.
Well i can understand that - the best character in super mario bros is Yoshi
Tru
I was just assuming it was all the censorship because any post with Luigi automatically gets deleted for violence even in the Nintendo subreddits talking about Luigi’s Mansion
Happy to be here. Leaving reddit for this place was a great decision. 💪
Welcome!
Welcome to the fediverse everyone
It’s like our own Reddit but with blackjack and hookers
and without fascist rules like banned keywords nazi Luigi etc, fuck reddit
DOZENNNNNSSSSSS
