I posted a fair amount on Reddit, this place seems fun.
I am exactly the same. I have posted here more times than I did on Reddit in total.
There is just something ‘nice’ about being here. I love that there are region/area specific sites you can join and go from there. I have joined the UK specific Feddi.uk and have found a lot to enjoy.
Let’s all help make this the place to be going forwards.
Yup, mostly lurker to poster
No, I still remain a lousy human
I post way more than I ever did on reddit
For sure not just you. I noticed my first day too - especially on SDF, which is a much smaller instance. Somehow it feels more like being at a small party compared to being on a crowded subway.
I've become a more avid lurker compared to a infrequent lurker on reddit
One of us, one of us!
Smaller communities, more intimate experiences, and overall, the people you'd see here are most likely who won't accept or allow what Reddit now stands for.
I'm doing my part!
Oh man tell me about it. I have been commenting on posts that I find interesting all the time here. In Reddit, I was a lurker with maybe a few uploads and upvote/downvote per year. There’s something about lemmy, I guess it’s the potential to be a true community that excites me
Posting is essential to get this community up and running so thanks!
I would have commented 4 times in last many years on reddit. On Lemmy (across instances) I have already posted over 40 in the last few weeks.
I am defenitely more active here when posting, but, looking at my reddit-account it becomes clear I was an active commenter before I left.
Gotta help seed the content so newcomers have something to look at. I've been uploading game clips and the like to the relevant ~~subreddits~~ communities (wow, I really just did make this mistake without thinking and only went back to correct it minutes later; shows how used I am to the old place) to help build the initial content base.
That, and the place genuinely does seem just a bit friendlier than Reddit. That may change when the number of users gets bigger, but I'm at least enjoying it for now.
Yeah I started posting here too
I’ve always been a comment contributor. I just do it here instead of that old alien site. Also wiped my stuff over there.
Nope, since I left reddit I spend less time mindlessly looking at my phone. But I do enjoy lemmy in healthy doses.
I'm trying to be a more avid poster but the gateway errors are making it difficult.
No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
