The whole posting and commenting culture is so much better here. I haven't had a single argument with anyone since I'm here and I'm a pretty active user.

YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
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.
Posts and comments 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 non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer 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.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
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- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

I wanted to argue with you, but had to agree with you. ;-)
Unrelated, but when you squeeze a tube of toothpaste, where do you squeeze it?
Onto my lasagna for extra taste.
Whoa, that’s pretty neat, man. So you don’t have to brush after you eat it? I’m gonna save so much time tomorrow!
Found the true italian. Just like mom’s recipe (hand motion)
In my mouth.
No, I just put it on my toothbrush.
Check out Bezos here, boasting about his toothbrush and functional oral orifice. My father lived 80 years without his lower jaw and what, you think you’re better than him or something? People like you disgust me.
In the bathroom.
There are topics that will make people turn against you in a second. People just don't talk about those. :)
Me too, dude. Wanna start an argument?
I don't mind pineapple on Pizza.
How dare you have an opinion I kind of agree with?
Umm that’s cool. I like pineapples on pizza, too.
I made a post about politics and got down voted liked crazy and they had to lock my post. There are small moments but it's being kept in check
I wanted to see what it was like, so I checked your profile. I didn't see your downvoted comment, but I did see that Lemmy upvotes pro-pineapple pizza comments.
Now I'm not so sure about Lemmy.
Probably cause toxicity haven't arrived yet.

It’s one of the benefits of being a tiny fraction of a sliver the size of reddit. It’s also something that would change if people actually migrate to lemmy.
Sadly I fear you're right. It is nice while it lasts though, it takes me back to the early days of reddit
Yes. It’s mad to me that two weeks ago I could sort by new and keep up (apart from NSFW). Now I can’t. Albeit my instance disappeared last night so I’m rebuilding again
vlemmy?
Yeah
I’m so annoyed because I spent the last few days blocking all sorts of communities.
This migration tool works quite well and includes importing blocked communities: https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim
Hopefully this isn't a definitive goodbye, but that's why I registered in two instances.
Probably is. Since the admin closed all the donation links too.
Fellow refugee!
What happened to vlemmy?
Nothing official yet, but the domain is parked and the donation links are closed.
Especially if you block the communities you are not interested in you can actually have a good experieicne.
Been hard-lurking (no account) here for a few weeks, made an account finally and this is my first comment. I was a hard lurker on Reddit too, but that was because most of the interactions I've had were... bad.
Definitely seems to be a gentler place, really enjoying the Summit app, it reminds me of Boost. I've got an unRAID server I was thinking about spinning up a Lemmy docker container on, but there's not a ton of info on this specific implementation, so I will likely wait for an unRAID community app to do that more easily.
Anyway, cheers from an ex-lurker!
As long as you do it on your subscribed communities. With the volume going up time to become more focused: /c/technology noise level is getting too high.
Had to do this with reddit too, if you joined early enough. Small subs got big and noisy
I was on Reddit since the beginning. It was mailing lists before and Usenet in the 1990s.
Lemmy now is how early Reddit used to be, only more jaded.
i am honestly gonna kinda miss sorting things like /r/LPT by rising and new. The kind of things people would post would make me feel so much better about my intelligence level.
LPT: You should brush your teeth every day
1st comment: You should be using toothpaste!
Reply to 1st comment: The real LPT is always in the comments
Reply to reply to 1st comment: an essay about how their grandmother used to always brush her teeth everyday before tragically passing away
and then the ones that DO take off annoy me so much as well. 99% of that subreddit is just 'if you slightly reword a sentence from now on it will CHANGE YOUR LIFE'
Well, pretty smooth once you ban all the damn furry content at least
Unrelated question, Can I join communities from other servers? or am I limited to lemmy.world communities only?
Yes you can. Go to https://lemmyverse.net/communities, set your home instance at the top of the page 
and then just search for what you are interested it.
Great! going to do this now, thank you!
lots of great ones on slrpnk.net, just sayin'
Sweet Roko's Basilisk, so I wasn't missing some mysterious reddit setting where I 'new' was translated as 'wtf' and 'crap'?
It's a whole new world.
