"Lemmy has 42k monthly active users

• https://discuss.online/ if you want a server located in the USA (content is still accessible from any server, the most difference latency)
• https://sopuli.xyz/ if you want a server located in the EU
• https://vger.app/ if you want an app

Feel free if you have any questions"

Why those two? https://lemmy.world/comment/14616442

Town and cities subreddits are probably going to be the last to move

[openstars@piefed.social]

I don't even bother with the largest communities here anymore, which all seem like circle jerk echo chambers to me. Of the top 10 communities on Lemmy.World, I am no longer subscribed to any of them. And then of the next 10, I am only subscribed to Not the Onion and Fediverse.

Just like Reddit, the largest ones have most of the toxicity. The niche subs are way more chill. Unfortunately, being on Lemmy.World you can't interact with any of the content on Beehaw - which has odd moderation behaviors, chief among them being that people must be "nice* whatever that means.

So more niche subs might be to your liking as well. You can't force people to like what you say though, only either tailor your comments to match their viewpoints or else move to where yours are at least respected and hopefully even welcomed.

If they ever do and it's unjustified, feel free to report to [email protected]

[3dmvr@lemm.ee]

they dont know it works like email tho, thats the initial hangup, also it already has issues like lemmyworld blocking piracy instances

[3dmvr@lemm.ee]

I do think apps should default to lemmee or shitjustworks and then have an option for more savvy user to pick something else in the corner rather than giving them the option to pick immediately

[3dmvr@lemm.ee]

I slightly prefer mlem even tho its similar, arctic is the cleanest with the least issues displaying things imo, at least on iphone

[3dmvr@lemm.ee]

I think they shouldnt even be shown other servers inititslly on the apps, have it in the corner as an optional pick, default to lemmee or shitjustworks since they dont block stuff like piracy, or if you're scared of legal trouble default to lemmyworld

The main appeal of Voyager is that it's available on both Android and iOS

[3dmvr@lemm.ee]

Lemmy feels pretty centrist, idk politics are weird plenty of right mfs have very leftist views that they see as right wing views if that makes sense, plenty of left wing ppl going off emotion too. I feel like on lemmy no one tweaks if you agree with one of trumps actions while hating 99% of them, elsewhere like on reddit they'll pile on you for considering they could have one good point,like yeah maybe cartels should be designated terrorists good job there

[pofski@lemmy.world]

i remember that for me the only issue was which instance to join, just because i didn't understand instances. Could you see other instances, do you have to create a username on each, Is you username automatically on all of them. Can every instance see your posts, etc... I don't blame some people for being scared to switch to something new after spending a big part of their life somewhere that they got used to and build a "community".

[3dmvr@lemm.ee]

forsure that makes a lot of sense

[hobbitfoot@thelemmy.club]

Jeroba would default to .ml because the devs also admin the instance.

[3dmvr@lemm.ee]

wish we could somehow transfer reddit history, but reddit legally owns our posts and identity

[3dmvr@lemm.ee]

I had 3 alts all get banned at once with my main, I commented on the front page with an alt that was supposdely banned. They were all logged into the app tho thats easy enough to notice (it bothers me that they claim I was evading a ban? like id be smart enough to at least use a vpn and not login all my alts into the same app on the same phone if it was for evading a subreddit ban...)

[3dmvr@lemm.ee]

Theres just a niche subrddit for everything, thats its one pro, but then you realize everyones just showing off and gatekeeping or trying to sell you something

[openstars@piefed.social]

You can test that assumption at your convenience by making a post or even just a reply in [email protected]. I don't think it will turn out like you hoped.:-)

My point is that it highly depends which community you say something in. The more niche the more likely that is to be true but the popular ones seem full of people just waiting to dunk on people's poor judgement - ChapoTrapHouse even explicitly says that right in the sidebar area!:-P

Well, you can at least download all your reddit account information into a file that you can archive locally. I wanted to make sure my best puns were preserved at all costs
