Hello fellow Fedizen!!!
Hello! Now let's go grab a beer...

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.

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/
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.

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

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

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

You haven't been assigned your fediverse girlfriend yet ?

Big uptick for us at bhzon recently, but a degree of magnitude less than this

Having to read through the entire lore of lemmy and get informed on all the instances and relationships between them seems like a nightmare. You make an account on one instances then after few days you get told that your instance is literally satan and you should switch to a different one. It's like with Linux distros. No mater which one you pick, you chose wrong.
