I came from the first reddit exodus and it’s been great over here. You’ll get used to it in no time, I promise.
So did I but be careful or you well also get swept up by the brainwashing here, buying a Pixel to run grapheneos, installing Linux on everything, buy privacy respecting email services, VPN and paranoid of everything. BTW I use NixOS and I am still mostly sane.
I just stick to [email protected] and [email protected]
I don’t own a smartphone thank you, so I won’t be getting a pixel. Already been running Linux for 15 years or so now.
Ah shit. I’m barely even sane and I haven’t even switched to Linux yet. I’m probs cooked.
To Newbies, I just want to say:
If you aren’t a Marxist-Leninist, you might wanna stay away from the big 3 Marxist-Leninist (aka: Tankie) instances [lemmygrad.ml, hexbear.net, lemmy.ml]
Wanted to say this too. It’s Lemmy’s biggest problem and keeps putting me off. I don’t recommend Lemmy to people in person anymore because of them. I don’t know if I would be more disturbed if they’re mostly state actors astroturfing or just deeply unwell real people
What do you think of this idea? https://lemmy.world/post/24268267
How could I forget my Tankie Triad warning LMAO
I’m out of the loop. What’s this “Reddit thread from earlier today”?
Also, yes, welcome to former Reddit users. I’m also a former Redditor, but I left during the API pricing fiasco.
A thread on r/technology about Decentralized Social Media actually got some good traction so a few of us logged back in to promote Lemmy a bit lol
This post is currently at the top of r/AskReddit, the following comment is currently at the top:
My honest opinion is I’d like to see the internet become decentralized again and less monetized.
This new hyper-monetized internet sucks so hard and places like X, YouTube, and Reddit are the issue.
Link - there’s already some suggestions of Lemmy, but it would be good to keep adding more!
Ah! Cool! Always good to be expanding the fediverse.

Maybe edit this link into OP for context
Hey newbies! Confused about how it all works? Don’t worry, you’ll get used to the confusion. Also, check out [email protected] for a good niche community.
Damn I’ve been here this whole time and I’m still not subscribed to that community. Nice one!
It actually is true that it takes time to find your way around the fediverse. But that’s also kind of nice because it means there’s always cool new communities to find. A lot of my current favorite communities are ones I didn’t find until after being here for over a year.
I should take the time to make a list of some of the hidden gems and sticky it somewhere.
what did the greedy little pigboy do this time?
An article titled “Decentralized Social Media Is the Only Alternative to the Tech Oligarchy” hit the front page of r/technology and the top comment mentioned lemmy as a reddit alternative. Although the comment was removed when the OP later edited it to include a direct link to join-lemmy.org. Which probably indicates those mods have automod configured to automatically remove links to that site. But the good news is, it still got a lot of attention. It’ll be interesting to see if any instance admins will be able to verify an uptick in account registrations over the next few days.

There’s now a thread on the removal which might make an easier place to add recommendations:

Keep up the good work over there everyone, we can’t let @[email protected] have all the fun of bring in new converts!
Nothing actually (for once (I’m sure el Spez’s hard right turn announcement will come soon though))
