…what are some of the things i can expect from this place?

I have become very tiresome with how those mods seems to be on some sort of power trip.

    • Mods are typically the people running - and paying for - the instance in most cases on Lemmy, and they tend to be active on the instances they run, so if you report a post it may well be to the person that made it.
    • Expect less active moderation and less content.
    • You’ll probably see a lot of reposts and batches of posts from the same communities if you sort by “New”.
    • Make liberal use of the “block” functions, for both users and communities.
    • Trolls, spam, DDOS attacks, etc etc, can be pretty common. Bugs seem to have smoothed out and are rarer than in the early days.
    • The Voyager client (on Android 14 at least) will reload if you switch away for more than a few seconds at a time. It’ll save your text if you have a comment in progress, but make sure you have a way to get back to what you were reading (save, upvote, etc) if you switch away to find a GIF or link or something so you can pick up where you left off.
