First time posting after 9 solid years on Reddit. Thanks for the welcome

[–] TheGreatFox@lemmy.world 26 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (12 children)

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'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.

[–] justineie_bobeanie@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago (3 children)

This seems like the first thing with enough critical mass to get going, what with reddit and twitter sulimultaneously imploding faster than a poorly constructed submersible craft. It's not driven by political outrage so much as the old platforms making themselves unusable and forcing healthy users off their platforms.

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.

[–] Axxi@lemmy.world 27 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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!

[–] ch0ccyra1n@emeraldsocial.org 13 points 2 years ago

@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 😎) really does make it feel like "the world of tomorrow" to me

[–] Sumeron@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Thanks, so far Lemmy is looking like an interesting place with good vibes all round!

Closed Reddit account and embarking on this new adventure with lemmy.

[–] faceula@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago

Wait... Where am I? I'm getting withdrawal symptoms. 11 years wandering the Reddit... I'm lost, a little confused, possibly afraid.

[–] mokcie15@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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

[–] Zathras@lemm.ee 12 points 2 years ago (4 children)

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.

[–] astrozuni@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm using wefwef, pretty decent. Also long time RIF user.

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.

[–] PlungeButter@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago (4 children)

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!

Incoming user from reddit! My app got shut down. I was salty about it so I decided that I was going to find an alternative, rather than use the official app, and I found lemmy! I like the community vibe so far. I'm still figuring out how different communities and instances work together with federating. I was always more of a lurker on reddit, but I might try to become a more active commenter (for community engagement!)

[–] melisdrawing@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago

Cautiously optimistic about the migration. Reddit had gotten pretty weird.

[–] httperror418@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] Ruxias@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

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.

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!

[–] Rogue_General@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 years ago

I've only been here for two weeks and already have seen major improvements. Thankful to the admins for their hard work, and glad to see the wonderful people here contributing to this platform's awesome growth. Loving it here and wishing continued success to the fediverse :)

[–] MondaySunday21@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

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!

[–] nineninenine@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

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. 😄

Any Futurama fans that also like Disenchantment and our one true Queen Bean please come join!

[–] httperror418@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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)

Thanks! 11yr RiF user here and using Jerboa now, it's different but similar feeling:)

[–] Feliberto@programming.dev 13 points 2 years ago

Hello. Glad to be here. I'm not going back to reddit, they nuked Sync for Reddit and I refuse to use reddit app.

[–] Common_Mode404@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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.

Just migrated from reddit, and I’m really excited to see Lemmy gain popularity and grow! This is about to be my next addiction.

I think registration finally worked this time. Good news, everyone!
