This is my first comment from Lemmy. Thanks again to whomever suggested it.

[–] Crankywithakeyboard@lemm.ee 24 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Mine too! They recommended Lemmy on r/redditsafety.

Fuck Reddit.

[–] ksigley@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yes, and fuck discord apparently ?

Selling out to the capitalist war machine. I was recommended to check out Matrix. Feel free to do the same.

Welcome. I joined from reddit in 2025, and happy to see more come over since Reddit has become a corporate, bot-filled, propaganda arm for many different groups

[–] ksigley@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

I appreciate it :)

Welcome to the party! Can I offer you a cat pic in these trying times?

Same — I never used Reddit but I found out about Lemmy from a Content Creator I enjoy. Seemed cool, a few privacy policies later and I’m here. The more I read about Reddit the more I’m glad I never used it.

I was super late to the party. Wasn't really a heavy user until right around the API changes.

[–] Savourycouch7@lemm.ee 8 points 1 month ago

Mine too! Already having fun time!

You picked a decent, reliable instance. Good choice.

Don't forget to block the Hexbear and LemmyGrad instances! Full of nothing but fake communist trolls.

[–] ksigley@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Oh dear. I don't even know how to do that. I really appreciate the feedback.

Gimme a few minutes to tinker around in the settings.

EDIT: done. Thank you again.

Welcome. I joined 4 months ago and I've already seen a noticeable increase in users. Join some subs and your feed will start filling out nicely and you'll stop thinking about Reddit.

I'm seeing a lot more porn, which is neat. Dunno if it's normal for a new user or the algorythm dangling a carrot. But I'll take it!

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

Haha! I jumped ship after the API ruckus. Before the NSFW filter was readily available I blocked a lot of porn communities before I had a feed I could browse at work.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I would like to suggest a second comment as well

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 2 points 4 weeks ago

Hell, might as well go for three. Keep em comin

Welcome my dude/dudette.
