First time posting after 9 solid years on Reddit. Thanks for the welcome
First time I've seen a comment so good that not only does it get upvotes, it has a negative number of downvotes,
Anyone know how that is even possible?
I am here now. Just signed up. Mod of /r/bicycling, /r/sanfrancisco, and a few other smaller subs. The whole thing is a mess right now, so I wanted to see if there are greener pastures here. Any tips are welcome. I literally have no idea what I'm doing.
#fediverse is nicer then reddit. Dosen't have that superiority complex!
I wasn't thrilled at the idea of leaving Reddit after 14 years but some things cannot be avoided. My first post here on Lemmy. Thank you for the warm welcome!
@Axxi
Things seem to be better here anyways. Being able to interact with people across different platforms (I'm replying to your comment through Mastodon because it works and it's cool ๐) really does make it feel like "the world of tomorrow" to me
When will we get our own persistently-broken video player? That's super important for my quality use experience.
My goodness me. This place rocks. Like the way the internet used to be. Fuck corporate greed. Fuck ads. Fuck egocentric dictatorships. And hello to The Future.
This atmosphere has good vibe. Goodbye RIF, hello Lemmy ๐
I've been here a week or two now. It's going better than Voat did for me when I last tried to leave Reddit. That was full of alt-right crazies basically, but so far here, people have been lovely.
Closed Reddit account and embarking on this new adventure with lemmy.
Thanks, so far Lemmy is looking like an interesting place with good vibes all round!
Wait... Where am I? I'm getting withdrawal symptoms. 11 years wandering the Reddit... I'm lost, a little confused, possibly afraid.
Hiii im here from reddit but, when i tried to post the post has been being uploaded for the past 2 hours, also loading communities and upvoting has been EXTREMELY slow ;'D
btw this is a hella cool site
Yeah looks like lemmy.world is slow today. Not surprised due to the influx of users. Ruud and the team has been working on it diligently the last couple of weeks, expanding hardware, writing code, fixing bugs, etc. Please be patient as we grow!
Thank you for the welcome.
Bye bye Reddit. Hope they collapse after getting rid of 3rd party apps. Reddit is Fun was my shit. I gotta find a Lemmy equivalent so I can get off my phone's web browser.
I downloaded Connect for lemy today. Seems to be working okay so far. I haven't tried any of the other ones yet, so don't take my word as gold. Could be something better out there.
Former reddit user here. I hope that this site grows and prospers and I look forward to discovering replacement communities for subreddits I've used.
Bathroom's that way.
Hey, hello community this is my first comment on Lemmy, good to see you all.
Thanks! I mostly lurked on reddit for many years (as a Digg refugee), and I want to try and get out of that rut and actually contribute some content here. Wish me luck!
Cautiously optimistic about the migration. Reddit had gotten pretty weird.
Lasted one day on the official reddit app. Sadly the readability of it with the massive amounts of ads and sponsored posts makes me rather not use reddit at all.
Glad lemmy seems to genuinely be an upcoming alternative!
I sense a real opportunity for the Fediverse off the back of Reddit and third party apps porting across.
If the UX (user experience) is similar then it'll more than likely pull people across.
So far the communities have been extremely friendly and it is a breath of fresh air
I'm excited to see what new and interesting features will be implemented that we never could have gotten on Reddit. FOSS (free and open source software) has a history of being an environment where innovation can be fostered, unrestrained by the whims of the market.
Nothing better than being greeted with Futurama, for the Fediverse when new episodes of Futurama drop in July! (I'm extremely excited for the new season)
im very happy to redditn't
Well it was a good ride at Reddit. I was using Reddit since since 2006 as a lurker. Lemmy is now my home. Hi all!
Here we go.
Today was my first day on the Fediverse via Lemmy.world, and I was so happy to see a Futurama Community among the top posts right when I logged in!
I hope it's also okay to say that I just created /c/Disenchantment for my fellow fans of a slightly related show. ๐
Any Futurama fans that also like Disenchantment and our one true Queen Bean please come join!
This all reminds me of the big Digg migration. Reddit likes to think that people chose it because it was special. For a good majority of us, especially the 10+ year accounts, it was Digg's terrible redesign and very poor product decisions. The nail in the coffin was not understanding its core content producing users willingness to move. History repeats itself.
Hello. Glad to be here. I'm not going back to reddit, they nuked Sync for Reddit and I refuse to use reddit app.
Thanks! 11yr RiF user here and using Jerboa now, it's different but similar feeling:)
Rest in peace RIF. I was honestly heartbroken. I know how sad that must sound, but goddamn, I used it daily for 6 years. It made my office hours and daily commute on the subway so much better.
I already like the vibe of this place more, at least socially. The site is a bit cumbersome but I'm willing to stick with it to see how it can get better. Plus Sync for Lemmy will be coming and then my life will be fixed.
Thank you. Just killed my Reddit alter ego so let's vsee what this will bring us. Glad to be here.
Just migrated from reddit, and Iโm really excited to see Lemmy gain popularity and grow! This is about to be my next addiction.
Here from RiF! First post on Lemmy, here's to a bright future ^^
Cheers! Here's hoping for a bright future!
Good news everyone!
For all things Futurama
Rule 1: Don't be a jerkwad!
Rule 2: Alternate video links to be linked in a comment, below the original video.
