I love the fact that it's a small community you get to know people here. It's like the olden days of message boards, friendly, fun and nice. Plus no karma farming and way less bots than reddit
I'm using Voyager, it's open source and is the best client I've used (I've also tried Jerboa, Blorp and Interstellar).
Upvote tracking is a feature you have to enable in settings, it doesn't do it by default. Also make sure to regularly take backups if that's data you care about because it doesn't sync anywhere.
Finding Lemmy.zip and then finding the old layout that I can easily navigate and jumping in w/o missing a beat after getting sniped by a bot on reddit.
I love this place, it's actually friendly and that is such a breah of fresh air.
I've seen some really cool threads with a lot of really reasonable and interesting takes. Reminded me a lot reddit back when it was a cool place for nerds and a great resource for learning about the world. People trying to actually understand why issues are complex and where various interested parties are coming from. Good proper types of discussions and debates from educated informed adults.
However, whenever the pop up... the nut jobs come in shortly thereafter and ruin the whole thing by reporting/harassing everyone for hate speech, because to them any nuance on any issue is criminal offense in the eyes of their absolutist/extremist beliefs and they want to silence any discussion that isn't tribalistic slogan shouting. Basically toddlers throwing a tantrum because the adult-speech and big words are scary to them.
I just wish the pitchfork nutjobs would toss off and leave reasonable and considerate people alone rather than trying to drag us down to there pathetic miserable level of seeing everything purely in a good vs evil dichotomy. Like go circle jerk yourselves and repeat your meme level politics eternally amongst yourselves, since full sentences and paragraphs are so scary to you. It's great you need your own little special instance where you can ban everyone who doesn't agree with your slogans, but if that's what you want, just stay there. Stop coming into more open-minded/generalist instances and trying to make them like your fiefdom(s) of pettiness and hatred.
So many linux users. You have a question, there's definitely someone here with an answer. I've received better help here than in my distro's actual forum.
Obligatory: The distro you run sucks. I don't know which one you use, but it's the wrong choice either way. My distro of choice is of course the superior one.
I know, I'm finally home. I tried so many of the reddit alternatives that popped up over the years. The only one I can remember now is Voat. They all became right-wing echo chambers like, immediately. I'm very thankful that the API exodus finally pushed me here.
Yes, for sure. And it's kind of a shame, because there was at least one app with a decent interface. Ruined, just ruined by garbage users. That Voat allowed, so screw 'em. But still, a waste.
When several people took turns in bombarding me with love and care when I vented about being in shock after finding out that my inner self may not be in congruence with my sex assigned at birth. I went from hyperventilating to tearing up from a little euphoria. I'm not saying that it wouldn't happen on Reddit, just that it hasn't.
Gender crises are some of the worst experiences ever. They're especially difficult when you're in an environment where you can't talk to loved ones about it.
It makes me very happy to see how trans-friendly Lemmy has remained even while the rest of the Internet caters to bigots.
Someone replied to a post about the movie with some old nudes of the first lady of the United States and I replied with a picture of Kevin McCallister looking at the picture of his brother's girlfriend in Home Alone(it was in reality the son of the art designer made up to look like an awkward teen girl for a joke in a movie made for children).
I forgot about my reply and saw it weeks later going through my post history looking for something else. It cracked me up seeing the setup after wondering why I posted that reaction image.
I didn't get dogpiled like I would have expected on reddit for some micro aggression. I am not in favor of body shaming because it leads to insecurity for bystanders. I don't want to encourage a culture of insipid potshots taken at people for their appearance. In this case, though, the shame is far, far, deeper than the appearance of someone's body. Other times the shame is probably an inch deep inside her.
shocker, I know. in an age where mainstream platforms will ban you for simply agreeing that Nazi's are bad it was a breath of fresh air to say the truth and not face backlash for it.
I meant to reply to this earlier but I forgot. If you're getting at what you think you're getting at, I in fact did not create !pocketknife@lemmy.world. Surprising, right? I simply tripped over it in my feed one day, make a couple of comments, and subsequently insinuated myself and took over the joint. The user who created it has been inactive for something like two years at the time of writing.

While I didn't recognise your name immediately, my client app tells me I've upvoted you 7 (now 8) times, so I think that proves your point!

Which app are you using? I'm using Jerboa and it doesn't seem to have this function.

Blorp dev here. This is an interesting feature. I probably won’t add it now, but I could probably be convinced if you can make a good case.

Though their image hosting seems to like converting to avif files, which unfortunately cause Voyager crashes pre-Android 14.

I remember the first Voat exodus. It became a Nazi shithole soooo fast. Glad it's gone now.

I said Nazi's are bad and should die.
and I didn't get banned.
shocker, I know. in an age where mainstream platforms will ban you for simply agreeing that Nazi's are bad it was a breath of fresh air to say the truth and not face backlash for it.
Bonesince1997@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 157d
You shouldn't get banned for stating the obvious and the good, the truth. Good for you, really!

Just being able to say Nazis should have their heads bashed in is fucking great.
without receiving the message you've been banned for promoting violence or hate speech

watching the whole 3 day no poop meme unfold live
it was so funny how my entire feed turned into that for like a week

Just simply having a home after being banned from reddit is all I needed. I appreciate this place more. I hope I'm not too much of an ass.
