Never commented on reddit. now I comment everywhere!
I still miss /r/asksciencefiction. I want to ask and answer questions about my favourite franchises, but the community on Lemmy is woefully dead.
Yea, for these scenarios I'd recommend posting in the more generalized versions like !sciencefiction@lemmy.world and tag it with something like [Question] and then maybe cross-post it to the actual !asksciencefiction@lemmy.world to hopefully generate some traffic in the future
Lemmy is still a bit small to have a bunch of hyper-focused comms like Reddit, but maybe some day!
oooo me me, you're speaking to me!
Welcome!
Here are a few pointers:
Just joined, ready to shitpost 🫡
Welcome!
Here are a few pointers to get you started
As as you mentioned shitposting, !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world
I got banned a couple years ago when I expressed my opinion regarding the living status of Trump et al (hint: it wasn't positive).
Welcome to the Fediverse. No idea when the narwhal bacons around here, though.
Narwhals don’t bacon round these parts, but you better fucking believe our beans wear jeans all day long.
And get ready for the voids to consume you.
The first post on this community to get 1k upvotes. 👍
Keep up the good work everyone.

Just got a nearly 10 year old Reddit account permabanned because someone I share my computer with commented on a sub that banned me.
The admins didn't even have a look at my first appeal, sending an automatic message instead and won't have a look at any further appeal, so here I am.
To be fair that's a "Dog ate my homework" level excuse.
Welcome, good choice with Jlailu, it's a great instance! !forumlibre@jlai.lu for chill discussions
I mean I picked the one that was labeled as "french" out of simplicity ahah
This is the way.
People talk about decision paralysis when joining a Fediverse instance but I quickly spotted a UK one, signed up and never looked back.
I got sitewide banhammered from Reddit for my absent-minded use of the report button instead of using modmail
Even though I was polite in the message Reddit claimed it was mod harassment
It's been over a week and they still haven't responded to my appeal
It won't let me submit another appeal because it says I've already submitted one
I've been on reddit for over 10 years, seems like an odd way to end it.
I'll have to admit though, Lemmy is pretty sweet. I even got Sync back!
Sounds about reddit.
I got banned for speaking out about Israel's crimes and saying Netenyahu and his cabinet need to be hanged for their crimes.
Since I am here, I will say that a trial is unnecessary.
Every trivial and throughless ban like that, creates another exile who becomes a regular on lemmy. This is a one-way street usually
Their loss, our gain.
Yeah I left reddit when the API thing stopped me using sync. It was the final straw. Like you, I'd been involved for over ten years, but sometimes you gotta move on. I missed some subs, and Lemmy is definitely less active - but I waste less time here than I did on reddit and that's a bonus.
The biggest thing I miss from Reddit is how up to date the news on the front page was. Having said that, they changed the algorithm and it's been dogshit for years anyway. I dont miss Reddit at all, been here for over a year.
I'm really liking Lemmy so far, it definitely has the raw vibe of old reddit that I've missed for so long
I left Reddit during APIGate and I tried lemme and it was full of racist nastiness so I closed my account and recently also left all meta apps and drasticallyreduced tiktok, and thought I might come check out how things are going and it's nice and cozy here now, think I will stay. Been off of x for the better part of 3 years.
Welcome back!
Thank you!
Oh damn, I too initially left reddit during the API BS, but I didn't see any of that.
What instance was that? (Was it one of the Tankie Triad?(Hexbear, Lemmygrad or Lemmy.ml?))
I don't remember, sadly. It was like a year and a half ago, and I opened the app and saw some had made a post on the home page that was just the N word over and over so I closed the website (I was on desktop) and figured I would let it mature for a bit.
Just got here from Reddit. Haven't officially left it, but the concept of the fediverse intrigued me and wanted to check it out
