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

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

[–] Savourycouch7@lemm.ee 7 points 4 hours ago

Mine too! Already having fun time!

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.

[–] Crankywithakeyboard@lemm.ee 18 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Mine too! They recommended Lemmy on r/redditsafety.

Fuck Reddit.

[–] ksigley@lemm.ee 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Yes, and fuck discord apparently ?

[–] itsbaljeet@lemm.ee 1 points 1 hour ago

What did discord do?

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.

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 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 4 hours ago

I appreciate it :)

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

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 2 points 4 hours 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.
