Just checking the place out after not being able to stand Reddit and its policies anymore. Their policing of Luigi posts was the last straw for me. Going public ruins companies.
I’ve been here about a year now. Good times. Your voice counts on lemmy in a way it really really doesn’t on reddit. People will engage with you because you’re human and say human things. It’s much more welcoming for people who like to talk somehow than reddit ever was. Don’t know why.
By the way, people talk a lot about how lemmy.world censors luigi, but I use lemmy.world and see, upvote and sometimes comment on plenty of luigi stuff without mod intervention. Maybe it’s just one of two communities (subreddits) where it’s enforced.
If you’re a communist and don’t like to hear China (or sometimes for some weird reason Russia) criticised, and if you feel that the USA is the Imperialist power that needs to be broken first, you’ll feel most at home in lemmygrad.ml, hexbear.net, but also lemmy.ml if you want to keep access to stuff from lemmy.world.
If you’re progressive or liberal, you’ll be fairly happy here on lemmy.world. If you’re a conservative, I don’t know where to recommend you.
There are various country specific ones you might find suit you for other reasons.
All in all I’m not sure it matters a great deal as much as it sounds in my post. People from different instances turn up and say stuff anyway.
The best advice is that you don’t have to lurk as much as you used to on reddit, you can show up and engage and the conversation will start around you.
Thank you! This is actually quite helpful.
I’m also an old redditor who’s been here for 1.5 years after 3rd party apps died.
This place is much more human and less “dead internet theory” than reddit. Engage with people as much as you’d like and you’ll enjoy being here
I’m pretty liberal and haven’t had much issue with lemmy.ml. Stay away from lemmygrad.
Try saying that labor conditions in China should be better.
Hello fellow lemming. Welcome aboard!
I’m glad you knew exactly the community to turn to first 😂
I joined a few weeks after the Reddit API was made paid, but I left Reddit the day it happened. Better late than never, I guess. Welcome to Lemmy.
If you wanna delete your Reddit account, make sure you use PowerDeleteSuite to get rid of all of your posts and comments before clicking that delete button on your account. Not doing so will keep your contributions to the website live.
Been on Lemmy since the App/API ban. Haven’t looked back at reddit since, other than the occasional search result pointing to someone’s q&a.
Side note, anyone else tired of all the sanitized AI slop that pervades search results? The only websites worth visiting these days are user forums (incl. reddit/Lemmy) and wikipedia.
D’ya like star trek, bub?
No? Well, you’re gonna!
I’ve been here for like a year and a half, and I’m still not interested in Star Trek all that much.

Only issue you might find with signing up for world is you can’t get db0’s piracy communities. I’ve been too lazy to switch since coming from kbin though myself.

Weird part is the last announcement I can find from .world admins said those communities were going to be reinstated, but then here we are months later and they still seem busted.
Welcome. Here’s some stuff:
All that and no beans?
Are you lemminging, son?
Nope. I’m dissociating!
I’m here for the same reasons. I’m still figuring it out. So far so good though.
Removed by mod
Yeah, that’s the one we don’t allow. You found it.
Do not encourage violence.

Agreed and welcome! Be prepared to engage in or create a new space for the communities you care about. Things feel like they’re just getting started here, but that’s ok. Good luck and have fun!
Welcome to Lemmy/The Fediverse! If you don’t like Lemmy, there’s also Mbin instances. They’re both good but I like Mbin’s interface a little more.
Don’t forget, there are also a ton of good mobile apps for Lemmy. I like Connect but there are a lot of good ones.
Happy cake day!
There’s no going back anyways. I’ve tried making new accounts. It’s impossible to post anywhere.
The account vetting filters block me everywhere. Can’t post unless I’m a vetted poster. Can’t become vetted because I can’t post to begin with. I can’t be bothered to seek out and karma farm on random subreddits that aren’t a mess of filters.
Welcome! We have furry porn
