To anyone who arrived with the migration and is still hesitating...
... you've made the right choice! Stay with us and let's contribute to make it a wonderful place :)
(hopefully soon with better "hide read post" features, i.e. on scrolling past a post :winkwinkJerboa:).
Cat pic unrelated but ain't she beautiful?
Edit : I'd understand if this post is deleted since it's not strictly about lemmy.world, but I really didn't know where to post it!

I'm not going anywhere. Feels more like home tbh. Curious how it evolves as people sort themselves out, and what kind of interaction we get, if any, among the different communities with different opinions. I'm sure there'll be drama lol. Here for it.
i agree, feels very cosy here. just enough people to have a good conversation but not too many to feel swamped.
lemmy.ml seems to have built a reputation too, which is interesting. I never had any poor interactions (yet) with any moderation across the fediverse, but it’s interesting to see the effects of moderation style impacting instances.
It's interesting, because moderation here is public: you can check the modlog at the bottom of the page to see what was removed. Transparency is awesome, plus you get to see what mods have to deal with every day.
This does so much more to keep people honest too. If anything, it should build consensus. "Here's the really fucked up thing John Doe said" and rational people would see it and go "yeah, damn, good move" instead of the chamber of hidden secrets system Reddit had.
Asshole mods can get called out while shitty users are way more obvious.
I care not for Fleddit. I see kitty, I upvote.
I wanted to quit reddit since a long time, it feels like the best time to do it
She looks soo happy btw. House isn't a house without a happy cat haha
PS. I am very excited to try to run mastodon + lemmy server on my old unused Pi
She's 12, but finally has a cat-mate she's getting along well with and an entire garden filled with bees and trees and noises! So she indeed seems quite happy now :) Have a nice day and server!
I’m still confused by the Fediverse stuff. I can’t grasp how to subscribe to lemmy in kbin and vice versa. But I’m here to stay.
Simple dude. For example let's say you want to subscribe to https://sopuli.xyz/c/steamdeck
The equivalent url in kbin would be: https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]
Edit: so url would be https://kbin.social/m/[community]@[instance_url] and hit subscribe on the right
Edit2: nice cat
This post was very helpful for that: https://lemmy.world/post/266744 The same person has 2 other chapters that were very helpful for me. Check them out!
I'm in Kbin on my phone. If I open a post that was made in Lemmy and it looks like a community I want to follow, I scroll tk the bottom of the post. There should be the name of the Lemmy community with an icon, and underneath it a subscribe button. I just click on that to subscribe to that specific Lemmy community.
This is what I do, find it the easiest way
Its not the best guide, and I plan on cleaning it up more, and adding more content-
However, https://static.xtremeownage.com/blog/2023/join-the-fediverse/
Has a few tips to get you started.
I don't mind taking the time to become acclimated. Had I known about the existence of lemmy (fediverse?) I would have left reddit sooner.
The cat looks beautiful!! I like her :D

One week ago i was googling Reddit alternatives. Couple of days trying to figure out lemmy. Couple of days liking it, wanting to love it, but still popping over to check my reddit subs and promising myself i would only read, not post or vote, and feeling like Reddit was shameful and lemmy was work. Couple of days watching lemmy grow, more communities added, more action on my subscribed groups. Now it feels normal to hit the jerboa button, start scrolling, and lose track of time.
^^
I would like to ask the community about err.. this :p
Do... anyone know? I mean.. I have a lot of questions.
They are referencing an infamous old website called Time Cube - although looking at their post history it seems to be pretty much spam rather than a joke.
Oh. I definitely learned something today (even though.. well..).
Thanks, fellow lemming!
I just made a new account.
I also have a Beehaw account (which I couldn't use the Jerboa app for??) and am so confused about "instances."
You can use Jerboa with your beehive account. I've done it. Works with any lemmy instance as far as I know.
Beehaw is an instance, sh.itjust.works is an instance, lemmy.world, etc. All instances.
Edit: kbin isn't lemmy but they run on the same tech and can interact.
