The gooners are coming!
(I kid, I kid, I assume you’re not (all) gooners)
To all the new users joining, I suggest you try our tesseract frontend but we also have a choice of three others.
Also: you’re probably gonna get banned from .ml. It doesn’t mean shit, sign up to another instance and keep going
Thank you, I’ll give Tesseract a shot. Currently I don’t know how to load up comments.
15 seconds later: I am IN the comments. Sorry. Thank you.
I’ve been here for god only knows how long, but I never knew anything about the different front-ends. Lol.
They’ve been on the sidebar since forever 💀
Which is kinda out of sight on a lot of mobile clients
I know. That’s why I point them out more actively now
I didn’t like the direction the Reddit was taking with banning subreddits like WPT and bending the knee to Elon. I scrubbed and deleted my main and my alt last night so I guess this post is about me lol
Welcome. Unfortunately you won’t have access to !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com from your instance, but should be good for everything else.
That’s interesting! Why does it do that?
Lw admins blocked it
welcome to lemmy 🥳
Tell, Gooner about lemmynsfw and ani.social instance. Also hell yeah
Long ago when media was in physical form there were two formats. VHS and beta max. Beta was superior in most ways… but VHS had porn. Maybe this is what starts a tipping point.
Hey! Welcome. Cool of you to join our instance.
If you’re familiar with the old internet, when communities were actually communities, and each board had it’s own vibe and culture, then you’ll do fine here. If not, just listen to southsamurai. Lurk a bit. Feel it out. You’ll learn and adjust and you’ll do fine!
I am one myself, got linked to this Lemmy from r/Piracy and like this site thus far. Salutations!
Reddit censorship, mods, and politics started being bad but the recent US election was the straw that broke the camels back
Nice

Hello
Welcome matey!
Hello from NZ
Hi fellow Kiwi.
New users? We should ask the German communities to do the sturgeon thing again, that was fun!
Fwiw, some advice for the wave of fresh r/efugees
This isn’t reddit. It looks similar, and it is similar by design. But it ain’t reddit. Hang back, lurk a while and try to absorb some of the lemmy “culture” before jumping into anything hot button at all, and be aware that lemmy is not a single thing.
Lemmy is not one big site. It’s a whole bunch of sites run by individuals and groups. On each of them, you’ll find communities (and it is communities, not subs, sublemmies, or similar). Every specific site, called an instance, may have different rules from the rest. So pay attention to where you are before jumping in all het up on a topic.
You might be on a community on dbzer0.com now, and find a community called c/paper. You might go over to sh.itjust.works and find another c/paper. This is part of how lemmy works. It is not a mistake, it is not a problem. But it is confusing. So be aware of it, and factor it in when you decide to post or comment.
This is great stuff. I’ll add a few hints of my own.
There’s no such thing as “global Lemmy admins”; there are the admins of your home instance (where you’re registered to) and the admins of the instance where you’re posting. It’s messier because each group will enforce different rules, but it also means that no group of arseholes can kick you completely out of Lemmy.
If you’re a newcomer odds are that you don’t know which would be the best home instance for you. That’s completely OK - almost everyone was like this, including me. So if you don’t feel satisfied with your home instance, create a new account in another instance and migrate.
Desktop users might benefit from the extension “Instance Assistant for Lemmy & Kbin” (Firefox link, Chrome link).
App users: remember when Reddit had a whole rainbow of third party apps to choose from? Lemmy is like this: there’s Jerboa (the official one) but also Voyager, Mlem, Boost, and many others. Give this link a check, or just look for “Lemmy” in your app store.
Why?..what happened?
Spez opened his butthole for Elon
Check the link I posted in the context
Aah thanks…I missed that link…
Porn is now illegal
Gotta lineup with that republican porn ban.
No one can kill Reddit faster than Reddit itself.
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
Every reddit user should consider r/redditseppuku
I completely forgot I had an account on here, lol
