    I don’t like lemmy elitism any more than I like reddit elitism

    I see memes here that my friends don’t see. My internet points have been on the rise since using Lemmy.

    I just checked my original account, and it looks like it was a year just a week ago.

    Damn, it’s already been a year.

    Also, it is very neat how people can interact with your posts from Mastodon, Kbin, Misskey, etc. By the very design of this place, barriers like the one that separated Reddit from Twitter do not exist here.

      Score UI for Lemmy was changed recently, would the hearts be likes from Mastodon? I wouldn’t know cause I never used Mastodon or Twitter lol

        Mind you, this is specifically the UI for your client. I’d guess that since 128-3=125, the heart is the score, upvotes-downvotes?

        I don’t think there’s any differentiation between likes form other Lemmy instances and from Mastodon instances, since they use the same unified protocol to communicate

      Same. It feels a lot more exciting here. It’s always really cool to be around when something’s somewhat new/small

    Ive only recently made the switch. Question for you guys. You know how there’s often multiple copies of the same ‘sub’ on different instances. Do you subscribe to them all or just 1 copy on an instance that you like?

    I’m enjoying lemmy overall. Feels like reddit 15 years ago. I just sometimes wish there was a little more content getting posted.

      Usually I just go with the most active/largest one. If there are multiple active I either sub to both or whichever one comes from the smaller instance to help keep lemmy diversified.

      I subscribe to them all and browse just my subscriptions. I often don’t even care about the community the post comes from.

      You actually had a similar issue on Reddit with separate but closely related subs (if you’re interested in Linux, for example, there were multiple subs for Linux in general, gaming, “for noobs” which was interesting also for experienced users, memes etc).

      Well, that’s a problem that’s within your power to fix! Start posting!

    Lemmy is great, it’s so good being able to use whatever app I want to use to browse it. Also the lack of karma farming power users and ads is a big bonus.

      Exactly. Don’t get me wrong, I post A LOT but it’s because I like sharing memes and that’s the end of it.

      The lack of novelty accounts and rote responses also helps keep things fresh

    I joined lemmy after my reddit account got banned for telling someone to crawl back into their hole.

    Apparently that’s a euphemism for telling someone to kill themselves???

    Meanwhile in the same thread everyone was talking about infant genital mutilation and how female genial mutilation is abhorrent but circumcision is perfectly fine.

    Lemmy is such an upgrade in every way except amount of content.

      Reddit once banned me for “vote brigading” a post on a subreddit that was linked in a different subreddit, a full year after I upvoted said post.

      That was the day I stopped interacting on Reddit.

    Woah it’s actually my “cakeday” if we’re gonna use some old reddit terminology. Wouldn’t have checked if it weren’t for this comment section. Can’t believe it’s been a year. I gotta comment/post more.

    It’s nice here. Reasonable people just chatting and sharing memes. Just like old Reddit (or small, well moderated subreddits but I can’t use Apollo anymore so here we are).
