This isn't reddit. It looks similar, and it is similar by design. But it ain't reddit. Hang back, lurk a while and try to absorb some of the lemmy "culture" before jumping into anything hot button at all, and be aware that lemmy is not a single thing.
Lemmy is not one big site. It's a whole bunch of sites run by individuals and groups. On each of them, you'll find communities (and it is communities, not subs, sublemmies, or similar). Every specific site, called an instance, may have different rules from the rest. So pay attention to where you are before jumping in all het up on a topic.
You might be on a community on dbzer0.com now, and find a community called c/paper. You might go over to sh.itjust.works and find another c/paper. This is part of how lemmy works. It is not a mistake, it is not a problem. But it is confusing. So be aware of it, and factor it in when you decide to post or comment.
I didn’t like the direction the Reddit was taking with banning subreddits like WPT and bending the knee to Elon. I scrubbed and deleted my main and my alt last night so I guess this post is about me lol
what happens to our sign up data / how secure is it? I
As secure as I can make it on a shoestring budget. Basically unless we get targeted by a nation-state, you should be fairly secure. If OpSec is a concern, I suggest deleting the account and making one on a VPN using a throwaway email
Is that actually true? I mean it would make sense but I've seen the applications interface before and it had no way to see the email, you had to go into the DB to see it.
@db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com is this still true, does Lemmy let you see email on applications? Or does seeing them still require going into the DB. If it does would you mind DMing me a screenshot of my application so I can see how different it looks from last time I saw it (0.18.4)?
It's good they finally do that now. I know in the past they didn't. Which seems really weird since admins can get it easily looking in the DB, so they're not really protecting against anything by hiding it from them in lemmy-UI.
Hmm... There's jokes here about "Second Coming"... "Plundering Booty"...
Banning NSFW, even short term, implies future Spez fuckitude that could well bury what was left of the place. Maybe it is a requirement for the C-suite to get their payouts when eventually bought by Newsmax or whatever?
Long ago when media was in physical form there were two formats. VHS and beta max. Beta was superior in most ways.... but VHS had porn. Maybe this is what starts a tipping point.
If you're familiar with the old internet, when communities were actually communities, and each board had it's own vibe and culture, then you'll do fine here. If not, just listen to southsamurai. Lurk a bit. Feel it out. You'll learn and adjust and you'll do fine!

Welcome! We’re a merry band of Reddit refugees.
Try some of the many apps as well like Sync and Voyager.
LoreStrax@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 5 pts · 1y
I'm currently using boost as I used to use that for Reddit, hence the sense of familiarity. But I'll check out voyager as well as it seems new.
flicker@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 1y
I read yesterday that Boost for Lemmy has been abandoned. Which is a shame!
LoreStrax@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 1y
Wait. Really ? That's really unfortunate. But I'll stick to boost for now as it's easier to navigate due to familiarity.
If there's serious issues then I'll switch to another client like voyager

if you just want to check out voyager without commitment, head over to https://v.lemmy.dbzer0.com/ :-)

To all the new users joining, I suggest you try our tesseract frontend but we also have a choice of three others.

Thank you, I'll give Tesseract a shot. Currently I don't know how to load up comments.
