Let's cut a circle using a table saw... what could go wrong? in c/whatcouldgowrong@lemm.ee
[–] TheRealBoner@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

Holy shit.. that has to be one of the first time I've seen a legitimate test of those blades on a real person. Impressive!

With all of the instances having different URL's, what's the best way to "google" a question and get Lemmy instance answers? (lemm.ee)
 

For example, I could search "best blender reddit" and browse tons of threads and gather advice. Is there an equivalent we can do in the future with Lemmy/Kbin?

Anybody else think it’s kind of a self-dig that we’re referred to as lemmings? (lemm.ee)
 

I think it’s kind of funny, not sure if it was intended that way. Aren’t lemmings known for following each other, even if it is clearly not the right thing to do?

Thank you!! Just tried it and so far love it! Has everything I missed from Boost so far

let's cut the "Reddit" circle jerk and start actually making content in c/lemmyworld@lemmy.world

Yeah that makes sense! I feel like this is why the fediverse might actually work especially well during this battle, being that the battle is literally “everybody uses the site differently and now all of the ways you love to use the site are going away” (obviously not old Reddit but you get the picture)

Just realized something I *don't* miss about reddit: post anxiety in c/RedditMigration@kbin.social
[–] TheRealBoner@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah.. I remember posting multiple times on some subs EVERY time I wanted to post because I thought I understood the rules.. I mostly comment nowadays because of it tbh! Posting anxiety is a solid way to put it

YSK: How to Think Critically in c/youshouldknow@lemmy.world
[–] TheRealBoner@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Separation of emotion is a big part of it! Being able to set aside your personal opinion, and work back to the elementary ideas that drive more complex issues is a skill that a lot of people struggle with.

YSK: if you think taking an ambulance to an Emergency Room because you think it'll get you seen sooner. DON'T! in c/youshouldknow@lemmy.world

Also.. In the US a lot of people don’t want to call an ambulance because of the cost, BUT it doesn’t cost anything for them to show up and assess whether you need to go in an ambulance or not. So if you are in a potentially life threatening situation, you should call 911. They can show up, potentially save your life, and then have a friend transport you.

Boost was my favorite when I was on Android. I think the only thing I miss are gestures to vote and collapse comments, but the controls are set up well enough to make it a non issue. Props to the lemmy devs

I agree, at least on mobile. I tried both and Lemmy feels like the natural alternative. Kbin reminds me more of old Reddit in UI, but Lemmy reminds me of Apollo UI.
