This is my first post on here, just navigating a new platform, I like all the little communities, so fun
Alright I’m gonna need you to buy an older ThinkPad and then install Arch Linux on it. Then I need you to set some anime background, preferably uncomfortable close to hentai if possible. Then I’m going to need you to get some thigh high socks and put those on. Put your legs up on the desk and take a picture. Make sure something like neofetch is running, so people know you use Arch BTW.
Once you have done that, head on over to /c/[email protected] and make a post.
If you could do that, that would be great

What did you use before and how did you find Lemmy?
I was about to go have a nap, as it’s waaaay too early for me on a Saturday, but I just wanted to wish you welcome, and I hope you enjoy your stay.
PS: The community you’re posting this on may not be the correct place for this, as it’s more oriented towards things regarding the sh.itjust.works instance, but I don’t think it matters too much.
Welcome!
Feel free to post on [email protected] if you have any questions, else there are lots of guides around for you to use. There are a few pinned to the sidebar of your instance, and there’s also this post from over on

Welcome to Lemmy, here are a few pointers to help you settle in
Hey Dave, I like how our little niche communities are all connected to each other, it’s like a prairie dog town. You can pop your head up anywhere and meet other little dogs! Glad you popped up here! IMHO, this instance is the most welcoming, when you’re new to an interest group/niche, shitizens reach out and explain how federation works, lore, etc. Big hearts.
Welcome! I came here from reddit about a year and a half ago and never looked back. I hope you find Lemmy flexible and real and we meet your needs. :)
The only thing I miss about reddit are the large, academic subject specific subs, that tightly moderate their subs to make sure that as many of the posts/answers are from accredited people, or that the post seems to check out when they look the subject up. r/askhistorians for example.
We are working on it, maybe it’s not that big yet, but we also aren’t invaded by ads, bots, and censorship in the same way reddit is.
I did choose this over reddit. I just wish there was something like that that wasn’t reddit. Maybe some day.
Yeah it’s weird that the smartest communities are too dumb to leave reddit
I think it is less that, and more that establishing a large enough body of experts requires a very large audience to pull from, and on top of that it took years, and lots of work, to get them established, and working correctly, so it will be very difficult to move.
It’s pretty 1 to 1. Doesn’t seem that hard at all
It isn’t though. The mod tools for lemmy are super primitive compared to the moderation tool suites that exist for reddit. These subs live because they have these in-depth mod tools. Tight, on point, moderation is key to keeping these places one topic, and of quality. Also, we don’t have the user base. While I guarantee there are a decent amount of subject experts on lemmy, I have seen them myself, you need enough to be posting/dealing with posts multiple times a day, in any given subject. So, not only do you have to have a body of expertise large enough to cover the topics, and rate of posts, you have to keep in mind these people also have to want to do this. Most people like that don’t want to add that amount of extra work, and stress, to their lives.
Well but also I miss like r/gme_meltdown too. And the sportsball stuff but I know most don’t care about that around here
Unfortunately I stopped going to reddit for sports info before I left. I just kept running into increasingly toxic people, over what is such a low stakes subject. It wasn’t just reddit, I also gave up on televised sports because watching sports feels like I am watching ads that are occasionally broken up by bumps of sports. Even friends who are WAY more into sports have pretty much given up on watching them. Also, the way that sports is handled across streaming platforms I find enraging.
