And not just memes and shitposts you find elsewhere

Make things and share

It ain’t gonna be perfect but that’s half the fun

I’d say there’s also some corners of Lemmy that feel like the slightest provocation leads to an absolute dog pile of people being super angry looking for a fight.

That aspect blows but it’s usually helped by making sure that the instance your account is on is federated (or specifically NOT federated) with specific other instances.

Though this place is so much more chill than Reddit it’s fucking mindblowing

Keep talking about it abroad

Basically there was a huge amount of porn spam posts being made and comments to a bunch of threads in this community

Yeah this community is getting blasted with porn

Report, block, and hope it’s not too many accounts

I’m definitely happy I didn’t open Lemmy until I got home from work today

Edit: And even this thread it seems.

It feels more human over here (if that makes sense lol)

And yeah after my initial break from Reddit it definitely feels more insufferable over there.

This is also one of my alts, I’ve a few but none are used as much as this one by a long shot.

I think since coming over here I’ve done like 2 dozen comments and a handful of posts (on Reddit), but considering I used to post and comment as much as I do here but over there I’d say that’s a lot of progress.

I’ve done over 3k comments and over 3 hundred posts here since joining in June of 2023.

I used it for awhile (I’ve been on Reddit for about 13 years)

Honestly though pulling more away from social media is good for my mental health. And making the experience more abrasive so it’s less of a passive thing is good.

In terms of sorting the “tankie triad” least bad to worst though it’s definitely: ML, Grad, then HexBear. At least I sometimes have decent interactions with people from ML, can’t say the same about the other 2 though.

Edit: Actually put this as a reply to the correct comment this time. :/

I deleted the other one as I replied to the wrong comment.

deleted by creator

I’ll still check sometimes on Reddit when I’m at my desk if I feel like it and I’ve got time, so like barely anymore.

When 3rd party apps died I moved here.

After them saying that if you upvote enough banned content you’ll get banned, I’m just waiting to catch ban over there.

Like maybe cut those executive salaries down a significant amount to start Mozilla because holy shit does Mozilla pay it’s executives a lot vs how much the company makes.

I still recommend it with a little asterisk:

Disable a bunch of shit in it or download a privacy focused fork of it (like Librewolf)

NGL I’d love this too

Unfortunately I have no recommendations as mine have been primarily physical journals

Though some subs I’ve been banned from over there the reasons were as simple as “criticizing China and/or Russia” or “participating in a specific other sub”

The subs I hang around in are currently the same to right wingers (downvoted to oblivion) but that’s partly because attempting to participate in a lot of lefty subs over there you get banned for talking about China in a negative way. The other subs aren’t political so those ones aren’t too bad.

That repo doesn’t, hell it mentions that you need to dump them yourself not even mentioning the possibility of other means.

Not sure about the others though.

I’d love to be able to just go to my post and see a list of the people who have shared my stuff and links to their shared posts.

For example: 3 people share one of my posts, on the post I click the spot thatvsays how many times it’s been shared, and I can see the posts they made by sharing mine.

I hope that makes sense? IDK if it did I’m tired AF right now lol

On the browser version of Pixelfed there’s a setting you can get to from your profile page that let’s you enable “reblogs” being visible in your homefeed. (It’s kinda vague on what that means though)

I couldn’t find it on the official mobile app.

Honestly the official mobile app I can’t see comments on my posts either.

I’d say the official mobile app needs a little TLC.

Yeah a github repo creation date is pretty close to meaningless IMO.

It’s the update history that matters.

A project being started, shelved, then revisited later is the name of the game when it comes to me, and I honestly believe that’s pretty typical for large projects.

I was wondering why OPs post looked so familiar… It makes so much sense now.

OP really needs to touch some grass.
