Im joining in on the reddit ditching thing, and was kinda worried at first that i wouldnt be able to like use it the way i did reddit as it feels like a whole new place, but after engaging with posts and people and actually being a part of lemmy rather than being lurk mode all the time i was pleasantly surprised with how easy it is to become a member of the community, theres a reasonable amount of subs (or whatever the other word for em is) that fit my interests, enough linux content and shitposting for my liking, and the overall random posts made by people equally fed up with Leddit. (also i admit i used reddit a little cus there was this post on the fedora sub showing how to fix a sound issue i been having after a recent update)

So far? Lemmy is filled with Russian shills. I hope we outnumber them soon.

Joining communities is very counter-intuitive. They are spread around and I ended up joining lemmy.ml communities exclusively, from another instance.

We could use much more space for the text, so far the text is way too concentrated in the middle of the screen in a narrow column.

Now on the content I'm rather satisfied. It's still a bit low in volume and if you compare to reddit it's really small, but we will catch up soon. We should lower our expectations and start building anew.

Ah, the good ole everybody challenging the western propaganda narrative against Russia is a secret Putin shill. I can see Reddit is leaking, already.

Tretiak World News@lemmy.ml China tightens access to Tiananmen Square while 32 are detained in Hong Kong

Oh, look, you have an opinion about tiananmen, what a surprise!

[–] GarbageShootAlt2@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It sure sounds like you do as well

[–] FuzzyDunlop 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As I click your history I see that you have pages and pages of allegations about the tiananmen events.

I'm not surprised, what I'm surprised about is to find people like you in the main instance of lemmy. I thought that they were contained into the lemmygrad sub but I was wrong, you somehow made your way to the mainstream meeting point.

I have no intention of discussing with the chinese Fox News.

Do you not know what the ml in lemmy.ml is supposed to mean? It's Marxist-Leninist. This is a general purpose instance, but it was made by "tankies" as you'd probably call them.

[–] FuzzyDunlop 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have nothing against marxists leninists, I have somethings against compulsory liars. There are plenty of them on the internet.

[–] edward@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What lies? Pushing back against western propaganda isn't lying.

Lol, imagine being criticized for 'having an opinion'. If that doesn't tell me all I need to know about you.

[–] FuzzyDunlop 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Excellent then! Please expose to us your opinion about the tiananmen events. We are listening. Don't be shy.

You stupid? My comment history is right there.

Edit: Aw. Don't get butthurt, homie. Lol. Tool.

[–] FuzzyDunlop 2 points 1 year ago

Ok, remember that I gave you a fair chance to express yourself. Bye.

[–] slugbones@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

Can confirm. I am sitting on so many rubles right now it's crazy. You are definitely not the victim of a thought terminating brainworm.

[–] Rentlar@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hey it's good to hear constructive feedback. Perhaps you would like to check out some communities on beehaw.org? They certainly fit my vibe but could be yours too. The important rule on there is to be nice to others in your interactions.

[–] Che_Donkey@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I like the layout of beehaw, but only see it in a browser? Is there an app? (lurking baconit refugee asking)

[–] norcalpm@universeodon.com 5 points 1 year ago

@Che_Donkey Jerboa is good, if you are on Android.

[–] prothy@terefere.eu 4 points 1 year ago

There are only mobile apps so far, no desktop ones.

[–] Rentlar@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

Jerboa is the main Android app rn (it's not perfect, there are a few things you can't use the app for)

Mlem is a iOS app in Testflight you can try. I hear it's adequate with the bare minimum functionality.

I'm really hoping RedReader gets the Lemmy update.
