Dozens+1 ! :)
DOZENNNNNSSSSSS
BuT WherES aLL My KaRMA?!? /s
fucking happy to be here!
Here. You’ve got four of it.
Maybe I’ll updoot, maybe I’ll downdoot who knows? You don’t have to worry about internet points here
Welcome everyone!
Dont stress about which instance you join. Took me 3 tries before I found the one I like, but I was able to see most of the stuff from each one.
What made you decide on a tankie instance?
Welcome. I think you will like it here. We’re kind of like reddit except we aren’t trying to make money from you, or your content. And we are more likely to follow the golden rule. And swear. Lots of swearing.
and we don’t limit or kill 3rd party app support, but rather support them, and even have a page about apps for lemmy which are, 3rd party
There might even be scores now
A veritable smorgasbord
I like to read this word the same American way Louis Rossmann once said it if it’s written like this. If it’s written smörgåsbord my inner voice gets a Swedish accent.
I wish I had used that spelling instead lol
Certainly a number of us
glad to be here!
Dozens? More.
Welcome friend! I’ve been keeping your seat warm * mini-fart *
Welcome to the fediverse everyone
It’s like our own Reddit but with blackjack and hookers
and without fascist rules like banned keywords nazi Luigi etc, fuck reddit
Hi diddly ho neighborino
Welcome to Lemmy, here are a few pointers to help you settle in
If anyones looking for chill communities to sub to, here’s a fat ol list https://lemmy.world/post/16327122
Can some people who are willing to post something other than American politics and Reddit bashing posts join lemmy soon, I’m sick of my entire feed being nothing but all these negative topics
Big things are happening in the world right now. I know that it sucks.
Right there with you, it’s going to be a long four years…
Just block the subs. Or subscribe to communities that interest you and stick to your subscribed feed.
I had a discussion the other day, where people were not happy with lemmy instances not handing data over to google. They argument was that we should do everything so lemmy can be found more easily, as the only goal is to “win” against reddit.
Unfortunately in that discussion people were not interested in using Lemmy and the Fediverse at large to create a positive vision of the internet. They just wanted to stick it to one corporation they don’t like. I don’t like reddit either, but i think we should thrive for a Fediverse that upholds decentralization, open source and non commercialization of social interactions. All the large Internet corporations want to create the opposite and have been quite successful so far.
I agree with you. It’s short sighted to give in to a separate corporation to “beat” the first. The only way to beat Reddit is to stop using it and forget about it.
The goal should be to remove the ability for a single entity to control the public flow of discourse.
I’m off to buy a Lemmy sticker to put on my thinkpad
They will come, and they will go. Let them.
Blocking all of the political and news communities can help
[email protected] has a pinned post without active non political communities
I think Lemmy is a bit too complicated to attract the kind of light-hearted users that made Reddit shine. It’s daunting unless you have nowhere else to go.
People on
Seem to be doing fine.
There is a pinned post with non-political communities on [email protected]
Idk, I came here with no idea about the instance system, I joined one that was near the top of the list, realised it was entirely Tankies, and made an account on the instance this account is on. I think people are likely to have a similar experience.
Hear about Lemmy -> join one of the first instances they see -> realise how things actually work -> make an account on an instance that’s properly researched and more aligned with the person
Took me 3 tries to get one I liked. I wish new users were put in some “default instance” with no defederations so users can pick and choose where to go better.
Like window shopping
It would take someone being willing to host something like that, and every other instance agreeing with the idea. It’s a nice idea, but I really don’t think that it’d happen, too many moving parts, too many people to convince, and honestly too much risk of ending up a hotbed of unsavoury content, CSAM etc.
Use an app with filter lists. Add american political terms to filter. Experience gets muuuuuch better.
You can also block certain users who post in a certain way.
Feel free to practice blocking users on me.
For those of us using Firefox there was a post on [email protected] on how you can use uBlock Origin to create word filters.
To do so, open up the uBlock Origin dashboard, go to the ‘My filters’ tab, and add this filter:
lemmy.world##article.row:has-text(/word1|word2|word3|word4/i)For example:
lemmy.world##article.row:has-text(/Trump|Elon|Musk|nazi/i)Remarkable functionality. Thanks for helping me and everyone else out
More Star Trek memes!
Star trek is very political lol
Have you considered making the world less negative?
You could either block a few communities or make your following feed your main one. I prefer the first case as it allow community with less trafic to reach the top of the page.
There is a lot animal pictures, some fantasy genre conversation and plenty of renewable energie discussion somewhere hidden behind the very detailled and commented biographie of the trump/musk duo.
steve holt!!
Just be warned, those dozens are all actually one person.
It’s me. I just enjoy talking to myself so much I made lemmy
Well, I didn’t expect us to have an existential crisis today, but here we are.
That’s okay, we’ll get past it again
Are you Drone Rights?
And blaze, and db0, and descalines, and ada and pugjesus, I’m everyone. I’m even you
Dessalines is a Drone Rights alt? Makes sense.
Obviously! We’re all a little conflicted inside this brain, but we get by
He is I and I am him
Slim with the tilted brim, what’s my motherfuckin’ name?za-ba-do-hiiiiii-hi-hi
