What I love the most about Lemmy is that you can see the downvotes as well!
Not all instances have downvotes, but most do
It's nice huh. And no karma stats personally. I love it.
I'm having my first disagreement with what looks like a possible CCP shill here. And their down votes are just not relevant, except to portray that we both disagree with each other. I really like it.
exactly.
Only till the trolls arrive and have competitions to try to see how badly they can get downvoted without getting banned.
And when you have commented more on Lemmy than all your years on redit to hope to boost the subs/comms you love. Yes i was a lurker
I guess there's more of a chance someone will actually read it when you post here. What's disturbing me is how many of the comments on Reddit were just bots or farmers? I bet... Many
Oh yea I saw them in pretty much all of the replies. Many times they just copy pasted another comment. Sometimes was it pretty funny tho because it was so out of place haha
I've gone from a lurker across all other social media to an active... Fedizen? Fedizen. And I'm loving it™
Same! I'm posting and commenting more than ever. Gotta add content and spur the discussion!
It feels great not to just belong to a single site but to a federation of many other sites you can almost seamlessly interact with.
Would you like to know more?
Feels so nice to show up to a post late and knowing you comment may still get read as opposed to the 3 hour window reddit felt like it had.
I'm definitely reading it! I just joined, I'm going through all the instance's front page stuff. This decentralization is a neat concept. I'm commenting from a totally different server!
It feels great to be using lemmy.
And a fine part you are doing!
We are all fighters and we are struggling for better social networks for our children
I have genuinely commented here on Lemmy today than I have on Reddit in the past 6 months, maybe longer. Trying my best to do my part, and honestly I find the atmosphere here a lot less intimidating, at least for now. It's fun to watch a new place grow!
Do I have the most popular meme in the history of Lemmy? Woo, the honor
Yeah, that is me right now, lol
Me too!
New community hype
desire to know more intensifies
I have interacted with this post. Gays upon my booty.

In Jerboa I could copy the original comment with all the formatting, had to quote each line individually though, even if I selected all it just quoted the first
today i abandon my life as a long time lurker!!
This is my first post on shitjustworks. Damn this site and fediverse thing is confusing though.
A common way I've heard it explained is to think of it like email. Say someone creates a gmail account and their friend creates a hotmail account. The gmail user doesn't need to create a hotmail account to send them a message, they just log into their gmail account and send their message to friend@hotmail and the magic of email takes care of the rest.
The fediverse works similarly. You create an account on one "instance" and can interact with pretty much every other instance. There's some nuance to it since it's more complicated than email, but that's the gist of it.
My application was just approved! Hello everyone!
Hello!
For real!
First comment baby! Feels good to be off that other toxic site.
Welcome! :3
i'll join you from my own instance! i have one on lemmy.world too but i wanted to try the selfhosted route.
Good bye reddit, hello lemmy!
I'm doing my part! Ony own own instance! :)
A man of culture I see!
Hello all! Spent the last six years ghosting on Reddit, this is my first comment here :D
Realized I can actually choose a username I really like versus the one I made for Reddit when I was on a lunch break.
"Participating guarantees citizenship!"
First (comment on lemmy)!
Welcome! :3
Glad to be here!
To me, the best part of reddit was the comments section. Love seeing this site take off!
Thus begins the great reddit blackout of 2023
I’m torn between boycotting it and taking a peek at the dumpster fire 🤦🏻♂️
I'm just sad I can't tell people on reddit to come over here, even comments without direct links are being deleted by admins. I just mentioned that there is a star citizen community on lemmy in the subreddit and that comment got deleted without a trace.
@Deathsservant got a link for the SC community?
Here you go /c/[email protected]
You can make a picture and post it in a comment. Less convenient but works. Although I have a feeling that people who post about Lemmy too much may get shadowbanned.
Also, maybe your sub is deleting/prohibiting comments as a form of protest?
It feels good to see memes.
I think this is my third comment here. Still finding my way around. This is so different
As someone who's only lurked on reddit it feels good to be contributing
Finally found the comment button
This is how I have been feeling all morning lmao
Am I doing it right? I think I'm doing it right
Now we just have to make a post!
Would you like to post more?
I am a community!
Hello world!
Doing my part!
Doing my part then I guess
i'm also a statistic
To the moon!

2 hour veteran here, 3rd post!!!
I have arrived from Reddit as well
My second comment!
Hello World
/not my first comment but any comment works, right? 😄
Would you like to know more?
Second comment! I'm on a roll!
Had exactly this feeling about three hours ago.
I don't understand what is happening, but I joined a instance? And now I am here?
So it seems
AmIDoingItRite?
👀👀👀👀👀
I've made four so far! Creating them is easy; growing them is the hard part.
I gotta ask, after seeing your name a few times now. Is it literally just from the animal or is it an Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood reference? Or something else?
Love the simplicity in a lot of the usernames early on.
It's Oryx, an old villain from the game Destiny. Give god, the Taken King. Cool dude. I also love seeing people around here, and especially the more simple names. Figured I'd snag a cool, short one from my favorite community in case Lemmy really takes off!
Welcome to the family!
reporting in!
here to do my part
Hello World!
🫡
what I felt like as well lol
Went from lurking to posting and commenting a bunch here. Love it!
@WhoRoger Friends, I cannot believe I can post here from my existing mastodon instance account. What a technological marvel the Fediverse is.
Glad to be here!
Reddit account comments and the acount itself: deleted.
Don't go back when they pretend to give in, they'll just find another way to fuck it up for $$ later!
First Lemmy comment! Hello reddit friends!
So it begins.
Just typing my first comment here, don't mind me
I'm doing my part!
Now I have to rewatch starship troopers.
At least once a year.
Good job. This is my first comment on Lemmy!
posting to get one on the books
Hello all ! :)
Hello
This is my first comment.
This is my first comment on Lemmy, yay
Making my first comment here, at the start of the blackout. It's a sad time but hopefully something better can come out of it.
Hello world 👀
But I wanna luuuurrrrrrkkkkkk....
But fine :b

Hello Lemmy!
Wooo
I did earlier.
I just want to be a part of something.
Hi

Just did 🫡
Frankly, I find the idea of a bug that thinks offensive!
Making contribution to the lemmy fediverse 💪🏻
It's my first day
I'm doing my part!
:)
That's a cute meme!
My first Lemmy comment!! Quite good so far, will check out Jerboa later
Never commented on reddit, and here I go on a days old post.
And I managed to have a top meme of all time for weeks. Nice to be an early adopter.
Hey!
Me too!
I'm helping!
I'm commenting to boost engagement!
glad to be a part of history!
Good gif but wow is that a disturbing URL
Doing my part
Lets all pile on here
Doing my part 🤓
I matter!!
I matter as well!
First comment! I’m also doing my part!
MY first comment was actually a witty retort that significantly elevated content quality of lemmy..
The only good bug is a dead bug
Doing my part!
I'm doing my part ツ
Happy to see that so many others are looking for Reddit alternatives. The lemmy is like Reddit+ and the idea of fediverse is so interesting. Really hope this spike in activity is sustained. Would be very interesting to see the community migrate platforms.
Would you like to know more?
generic comment
Engage!
here I am
I'm doing my part!
This is my third one.
I guess I’m adopted now.
Same :)
Wow, I literally said that in the Try Not To Lurk post, then saw this.
Comment from human!
If only I could navigate a little, it's like trying to bite a frozen banana
Yea it's really hard unless you already know what you're looking for
I guess this is how it starts, thanks!
Parting my do

Hello! I'm doing my part as well!
