There's still a lot of old, useful and informative posts on Reddit that I find via a Google search. It annoys me that whenever I find one of those posts, I have to go and edit the URL to be old.reddit instead of www.reddit otherwise it's so hard to use. Like, the useful thing is in the comments, but the comments are collapsed by default, so if you search for something you won't find it until you expand those comments.
If they get rid of old.reddit I think I'm going to end up using the wayback machine to get that old post rather than trying to use that horrible new reddit interface.
Instead of manually editing the URL you can use an add-on like this: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/old-reddit-redirect/

(...) 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. (...)
What fathers are attacking babies???
remembers the world we live in
Oh, right.

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!!!

My advice to newbies is to just sign up for whatever, then change later if ya need to. I think I tried 2 other instances before i found the one that fit best for me

Relevant history. If you were there, you remember the call of the wild AOL'er, "Me too," ringing 'cross the network, usually as a top-posted comment.
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.

It's not really the backup since last year, but the primary, but reddit won't let me shut down /r/piracy and the other mods who took over my top spot after reddit removed me still believe in reddit, so they refuse to leave and call lemmy still the backup.
reddit actually defended the piracy subreddit? lmao

Very dated Lemmy version. LW users still can't remove their uploaded media
It also blocks Tor, other instances don't
-
Truly the real reddit experience

But not .world or .ml? I got an account in both and I didn't know those places were disliked until I started getting automatic bans only for being in those instances.
Anyway, that's why Lemmy is so good, just figure out later where you wanna go. The first thing to really understand is that one Lemmy instance is similar to Reddit while another instance is also similar to reddit but all instances are independent of each other and Lemmy is not reddit at all.
You can have a Lemmy purely focused on sex stuff while another might be about painting or maybe another is owned by a church or a bakery. The Bakery might like the church and the sex stuff. The church one might only be federated to the bakery and painting one. Its not just that an instances can have many different channels, but each instance can have channels with specific focus. Or even an instances for your local diy business or a 18 year old who rally wants us to see what's in between his legs. Lemmy is definitely far from what reddit is.

How much did spez care about violent rhetoric coming out of the donald for years before finally doing something about it. What a pos that fuckface is
-
That'll teach em! You can't just sign up, first you gotta read some 20 minute long post from gnu.org
Are you allergic to reading ?
-
Ohhh I see thank you
-
unfortunatly .world banned piracy quite awhile ago, you'll need a different instance account
I see thank you
