I discovered Lemmy last week. Lurked for a while, then finally created an account. The experience is much better than Reddit so I say good riddance.
Some tips:
Welcome.
Welcome to the place where real people actually say real shit!
Did the switch as well and feel the same. Welcome and Cheers!
Welcome ‘ere Bucky!
Thanks and Cheers!
Welcome!
Yay! Welcome! I'm pretty new too and I find the quality of conversation much higher over here.
Same! I'm new here as well. I've had better interactions over two days on here than I've had on reddit over half a year.
Le narwhal eats bacon at midnight! An updoot for you, good sir! You are a gentleman and a scholar. That’s a heckin cute pupperino, too precious do not deserve!
EDIT: Thanks for the gold, kind stranger!
To make you feel as if you never left
Here's the thing.....
Tips fedora
You are missing the second edit saying that this is your top post
MAh iNbLocKs R bLoWin uP!
I guess we have to make that post their top post now
And my axe!
We also have snarky dweebs apparently.
Lies! There's also star trek
Skill issue
You suggest that there is only anime porn and Linux here, and yet, you are here. So either you loathe yourself, adore Linux and anime porn, or adore those things AND loathe yourself. I don't think you're in a position to be snarky, kiddo.
I see similar comments every now and then. What exactly is missing here for you? There’s a community for almost anything except some niche topics
Niche topics was all I ever used Reddit for, so in my case, Lemmy just doesn’t replace Reddit at all. None of the subreddits I follow have an active equivalent Lemmy community. They go from a few posts a day and dozens of comments on Reddit to “last post: 3 years ago” on Lemmy.
Local communities are lacking. We don't have the critical mass for that.
More diversity, but since we're commenting under a new user's comment, that may be correcting itself.
You're welcome
Hey there are some people here that are not into those things, we just got banned from that shit hole and refuse to give them my eye for their ads any longer.
