Hi diddly ho neighborino
Welcome to Lemmy, here are a few pointers to help you settle in
glad to be here!
Happy to be here! I love finding alternative platforms to the big ones, I’m a forum nerd and soon I’m thinking about moving one from phpBB 3 to either Discourse or Node.bb and having it join ActivityPub. I hope more people will join lemmy soon!
That would be cool!
happy to be here~~
There might even be scores now
Certainly a number of us
A veritable smorgasbord
I like to read this word the same American way Louis Rossmann once said it if it’s written like this. If it’s written smörgåsbord my inner voice gets a Swedish accent.
I wish I had used that spelling instead lol
Welcome to Lemmy. Here’s your Molotov, the guillotine is just down the hall. First left.
Let’s be real, we ain’t touching grass, let alone take action.
We never said they’re real.
Yes, of course, strictly in Minecraft.
Actually I volunteer in a community centre
Honestly I’d expect more action for Lemmy than left leaning Reddit accounts just cause people here have taken steps to make a difference
I tried. But got:
Speak for yourself, friend!
we are
legionsquad.

Lemmy and Mastodon are like “PBS” social media.
“This is brought to you by people like you.”
Welcome friend! I’ve been keeping your seat warm * mini-fart *
Hello!
Just be warned, those dozens are all actually one person.
It’s me. I just enjoy talking to myself so much I made lemmy
does that mean you’re also @[email protected]🫨
Yes, but only on Fridays; there’s another me that takes the rest of the week
I have several personalities, so I guess you can say there’s dozens of us.
He is I and I am him
Slim with the tilted brim, what’s my motherfuckin’ name?what’s my motherfuckin’ name
Excuse us?? It’s OUR motherfuckin’ name too!
za-ba-do-hiiiiii-hi-hi
Well, I didn’t expect us to have an existential crisis today, but here we are.
That’s okay, we’ll get past it again
Hey me, it’s you!
Are you Drone Rights?
And blaze, and db0, and descalines, and ada and pugjesus, I’m everyone. I’m even you
Dessalines is a Drone Rights alt? Makes sense.
Obviously! We’re all a little conflicted inside this brain, but we get by
Hey fellow redfugees!
Welcome! It’s nice and comfy here, if a little less of an infinite content-hose compared to Reddit. You might need to do a little more heavy lifting yourself in terms of posting and commenting, but on the plus side - people actually read what you post, instead of being drowned by a deluge of spam and bots! And discussions are mostly friendly and civil!
I kinda like that it’s smaller here in terms of content and users. I left reddit back at the API thing, I’d been on there over ten years and was spending easily an hour or two a day on there. Here, I pop in, check it out, get a similar experience - but I don’t get stuck in endless scrolling or stupid arguments. Instead I’m reading more books.
Yes that’s what I’ve found! There’s less of it but the quality is far better, the atmosphere is far better and it’s like reddit used to be years ago. I’ve missed all that and I’m so glad I found lemmy. ☺️
And it also actively prevents doomscrolling when you see the same post multiple times.
I kind of like that we have to choose to participate to make this work. Sharing something might actually be worthwhile. I’ve had my fair share of viral posts in my day, but posting hasn’t been a priority of mine since before the days of Lord Gallowboob.
It’s refreshing to be in an actual community.
I prefer redxiter.
If anyones looking for chill communities to sub to, here’s a fat ol list https://lemmy.world/post/16327122
Hey, does anyone know when a new user can upload an avatar? I’m still being denied.
It take a few week on Lemm.ee IIRC. Most people wait for a bit, if that’s really important for you you can have a look at https://lemmy.zip/.
You can export and import your settings from your settings account using the default UI
As someone who’s been on Lemmy for a year, TIL avatars are a thing lol
Pfft!
Why not ? I little personalization is not bad.
Very true, I just didn’t know about it, maybe due to the app I use.
I believe its a instance setting so it could be different then mine, but I couldn’t upload for a few weeks on .ml
steve holt!!
Welcome. I think you will like it here. We’re kind of like reddit except we aren’t trying to make money from you, or your content. And we are more likely to follow the golden rule. And swear. Lots of swearing.
and we don’t limit or kill 3rd party app support, but rather support them, and even have a page about apps for lemmy which are, 3rd party
