MODERATORS
I pray they don't change their minds and continue with these plans. It's so stupid of them and I love it.
Yeah, I agree. I'm loving lemmy and haven't spent more than 10-15 min. on Reddit over the past week.
I'm not really browsing reddit anymore. Just checking in on a few niche communities once in a while. The community on the fediverse is much better than I had anticipated.
Oh cool... you have your own instance setup?
Yeah, because I'm a nerd and already have a personal server :P
(and like making things needlessly complicated apparently)
Hahaha! I love it. Looks like you're connected with a lot more ~~servers~~ instances than lemmy.ml is.
I'm still on Reddit to upvote anything that talks about this shitshow, and recommending Lemmy.
I'm on kbin, but this all seems to be a decent replacement. Pretty cool I can sub to Lemmy posts
Oh that's interesting. Normally when someone's on a different instance, it would say: @Teali0@kbin.social or whatever as your username.
it does if they don't set a display name. they probably set a display name
Oh interesting. So it can look like they're from your instance but they might not be?
you can tell if they set a display name by if there's an @ in the front. if it's not there, that's their display name. you can see their username + instance by clicking on their name
Ahh, so I just set a display name... what do you see on your instance for me now?
i still see your username, so the change hasn't federated to my instance yet. but when it does, you will show up as whatever you set your display name to
Interesting. Thanks!
Lemmy is a wonderful tool. All we need to do is add rewards, coins, video reels, promoted posts, and then a sort of celebrity/influencer culture will naturally flourish!
Yeah I'm out for good.
I have requested the moderation of one familiar community of mine here and intent on putting in the effort here.
I have also contributed to the lemmy github in the form of pull requests.
If reddit doesn't care about the users I won't. I will care for something that offers something back to me and the community.
