The /r/piracy link to lemmy /c/piracy hit the reddit frontpage with 7K+ updoots!

It's fine.
The occasional complaint I see is not enough that I've considered moving and I don't even remember what those were. But the great thing about the fediverse is that you can move if you want!

Is there a problem with Lemmy.world? I joined this one to avoid tankies, but I haven't gotten familiar with the place yet (despite moderating a community lol).
Besides smaller complaints (every instance has their issues). .world has gotten too large. Many people have suggested that it close its doors for now so other instances can catch up.

For a while I was reading and posting on Lemmy, but still going over to check things out on Reddit (without an account) because Lemmy just wasn't getting enough traffic to keep interesting posts popping up. I'm having to do that less and less these days.
Honestly I never have to do it unless I'm extraordinarily bored and have nothing better to do.

Is this really just the "backup site"? Boo, I say. Boooooo.
Also, wasn't Reddit banning links to Lemmy or something? Maybe that was only in the run-up to the IPO?

We are called Lemmings over here!

Agreed. New Reddit is terrible. I find having to flip to different pages to get to deeper replies particularly annoying.

(...) In 2021, inhalation of hexadecanal was found to reduce aggression in men but to trigger aggression in women. Hexadecanal is one of the most abundant substances emitted by human babies from their heads, which may be an evolutionary survival mechanism to induce mothers to defend the baby and fathers to not attack it.

Isn’t .world the most populous instance? Hmm…
This is interesting. I get the impression that some admin/mods truly don’t understand how the Fediverse operates. They ban one (or a few) instance name(s), but there are so many more that they might not even recognize as Lemmy links, which get past the radar.
At the same time, there are fears here that .world could become disproportionately powerful compared to other instances, due to its high user count.
So in a way, Reddit blocking traffic to .world while permitting links to other instances can benefit us all. Smaller instances gain users, which is an important step toward balancing things out and keeping any one instance from becoming too powerful. Thanks, Reddit!
(I recognize the irony of having a .world account. I wasn’t aware of its standing in Lemmy when I made it. I am also still learning the Fediverse myself and don’t know how to transfer my account to another instance yet.)
I just read another comment (not sure if in this thread or another) saying that lemmy.world and lemmy.ml links are banned on Reddit. No idea if it's really true or not though.

Fwiw, I prefer Fedizen, bc it works for other things too like Mastodon, Mbin, PieFed (where I'm typing this from btw), Friendica, etc.
But yeah, where you are, Lemming works too I suppose.
Hello fellow Fedizen!!!

I make like 10 accounts before i found one that worked for me. Luckily i can log them all into sync for lemmy and switch between them when im doom scrolling so i can doom scroll the same content 10 times before bed!

I didn't realize Weird Al's line about "me too'ing like some brain-dead AOL'er" was referencing Eternal September, he would make that reference.

Nice. I was being lazy, I was thinking of writing my own add-on or tampermonkey script, but I didn't get around to it. I should have known there was already one out there.

Same. I was on Kbin, was denied at .world (not safe enough), then landed on lemm.ee.

to the new users:
Ahoy, maties

Yep! Took two tries as well. I got banned from one because literally my second comment pissed off the mod! Im already loving Lemmy.
