Alright sir, I shall upvote and comment whenever I feel I have something useful to add!
I'm stepping out of my comfort zone and trying to set up a game thread for the NHL Stanley Cup Finals game tomorrow. Please come join and discuss if you're interested!
Was lurking on Reddit for 10 years, made just 9 comments that whole time; when there's so much noise you don't feel you have much to add to the conversation. But us lurkers have a chance to be heard in a growing community and help shape it in some way, gotta get out of my comfort zone I guess.
Don't tell me what to do...
Ah shit.
Ok, you win this round.
I never posted on Reddit but lurked it for years using Reddit is Fun. I feel like their decision to essentially kill third party apps is just the start of pushing terrible changes that will turn Reddit into something like Facebook.
After learning a bit about how Lemmy works I'm really interested to see how it grows! Without any one person or organization at the helm it'll be interesting to see what communities naturally flourish.
Although I’m almost exclusively 100% a lurker I will try my best to make posts and post comments and stuff! Hope more folks from Reddit will join us and help make Lemmy a formidable competitor to Reddit.
One thing that might keep people off is how communities are created/duplicated on Lemmy. I mean you can have the exact same community but on different instances. Then you start asking yourself which one should I join? or perhaps both? This definitely will confuse people.
I'll wait and see how things go.
Hi, I'm here! Signed up on an instance a few days ago with all this BS going on at Reddit, and I just read the "AMA" with spez. Absolutely ridiculous. I would love to see Lemmy take off. Just trying to get the hang of it at the moment, and I hope an iPhone app comes.
I am glad u/iamthatis saved the recordings because u/spez is a liar. I live in a one-party consent state myself, so I know what u/iamthatis did was legal.
Why hello I am literally just making this comment so more people see the post. My favourite thing about Fedi is how engagement works entirely different from proprietary social media. People make the Fediverse work, people being people make it such a lovely place!!
I’m your huckleberry.
Question: If the equivalent Reddit subreddit doesn't exist that we use, should we create it? Or wait for the moderators from Reddit to create it?
Seems to me it makes sense to go ahead and create it. There's no reason the mods on Reddit should necessarily be the mods anywhere else. They don't own the subject under discussion, after all. They just happened to be the ones to start a subreddit or get invited to moderate by others.
There's a real opportunity in being able to create your own community here. If there were problems or issues with a subreddit, whether it be mod problems, rule issues, general tone of the sub, etc, this is a chance to change that and make it right.
After years of lurking it’s still hard to break the habit. But I’m really liking this fediverse and will push myself to become more engaged.
This is my first comment. I just made an account on Lemmy.world. If I’m correct, users from other instances have a second @ in their name while native users do not.
Everything about Lemmy; bugs, gripes, praises, and advocacy.
