Hi diddly ho neighborino
Welcome to Lemmy, here are a few pointers to help you settle in
Happy to be here. Leaving reddit for this place was a great decision. 💪
Tens of dozens even
This seems really cool. It’s taking me a bit to get used to but honestly I’ll probably stay here.
One more sailor on your ship of freedom! I hope I can bring something useful too
Hello!
Happy to be here! I love finding alternative platforms to the big ones, I’m a forum nerd and soon I’m thinking about moving one from phpBB 3 to either Discourse or Node.bb and having it join ActivityPub. I hope more people will join lemmy soon!
BuT WherES aLL My KaRMA?!? /s
fucking happy to be here!
Maybe I’ll updoot, maybe I’ll downdoot who knows? You don’t have to worry about internet points here
Here. You’ve got four of it.
I’m loving it already! And…I’m not scrolling through ads too!!
Every time I end up on Reddit the amount of ads makes me recoil. You’re free now!
Reddit has ads? I use Librewolf/Firefox with uBlock so I didn’t notice, lmao.
Back with the API fiasco is when I stopped using Reddit because there’s no way I’m using the official app with the amount of ads there are
This is my first post, on my first day here, and it feels pretty good.
The tankies have been notified. I expect you will receive a proper welcoming in the not so distant future.
Oh god, oh no. Hide yo kids, hide yo wife…
Welcome in.
It’s kind of a rush picking a username knowing most are still available.
and the best part is that if a name is taken on one instance you can just try another!
UltraGiGaGigantic2 is still available
Nicknames are per instance so your favourites are always available somewhere.
So tasty names still available
(There always will be many good names available since every name can exist once on every instance)
I know! I hadn’t even thought of that until I saw someone’s was like “mee” and now I need to get another account. It’s like how people get caught off guard when I tell them my 20 year old email is just my name with no numbers or special characters.
Haha it’s great because there’s always another instance where your username will be available.
Or you can choose to be something different on each instance.
I just came over from Reddit too. It took me a day to settle in and understand how federation worked but now it makes total sense to me.
Start posting stuff with us welcome welcome everyone :)
Welcome!!
Here, have some beans.
We don’t do pay-a-social-media-ceo-to-win around here, we do beans. Practical, eatable, 100% all natural digital beans.
Some other users may be able to gift you a proper lemmy kilmister commerative gold token, but I don’t have the jpg.
EDIT: oh right, a possibly useful warning:
About a month or two ago, lemmy seems to have attracted its first mass spam bot, dming thousands of users with basically a phising email.
If you get a message from ‘Fediverse Chick’, that’s not her, someone stole her image, just block the user.
Or come discussing her at !nicole@feddit.org
Hey, does anyone know when a new user can upload an avatar? I’m still being denied.
I believe its a instance setting so it could be different then mine, but I couldn’t upload for a few weeks on .ml
As someone who’s been on Lemmy for a year, TIL avatars are a thing lol
Why not ? I little personalization is not bad.
Very true, I just didn’t know about it, maybe due to the app I use.
It take a few week on Lemm.ee IIRC. Most people wait for a bit, if that’s really important for you you can have a look at https://lemmy.zip/.
You can export and import your settings from your settings account using the default UI
Welcome to Lemmy. Here’s your Molotov, the guillotine is just down the hall. First left.
we are
legionsquad.Let’s be real, we ain’t touching grass, let alone take action.
We never said they’re real.
Yes, of course, strictly in Minecraft.
Speak for yourself, friend!
Actually I volunteer in a community centre
Honestly I’d expect more action for Lemmy than left leaning Reddit accounts just cause people here have taken steps to make a difference
Showed as white on white on my UI, so here’s the picture below.
A few pointers for new joiners:
Yeah, shows my image editing fu. Thanks for pointers! I did do a search but turned out my fu is not particularly strong there either…
This is perfect tho, it outs light mode creatures as the monsters they are. /j
No worries, thank you for this post, it’s nice to welcome people from Reddit!
White theme? Oh god, how do you not… you know…
Is there a reason why you’re promoting !ask@lemm.ee now? Ask Lemmy communities already exist on both .world and .ml, creating another community seems kinda counterproductive to me.
Feel free to have a look at !fedigrow@lemm.ee
