I'm not new, but when I joined during the initial migration, I saw trends like beans, beef straganoff, and holding in poops for as long as possible. I can't recall any adjacent inside jokes recently (although I have blocked a lot of communities to preserve my mental health).

good thanks I've sucked 4 dicks already

[-] NABDad@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

You're gonna need to get those numbers up.

[-] Glent@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 week ago

Not wasting any time? One more dick and you get custom flair on all your posts. Welcome.

Pro: there is a Lemmy app (Voyager) based on the amazing Apollo for Reddit app.

Cons: Like 5 people total were chatting about the Super Bowl in the most populous NFL community.

There don’t seem to be parallels to most of the communities I belonged to on Reddit.

Still going to give it a try, but my excitement waned pretty quickly.

[-] TomSelleck@lemm.ee 28 points 1 week ago

I genuinely miss the F1 and CFB communities for the commentary, but I’m glad I left reddit when they killed 3rd party apps. It’s nice to have a media feed that isn’t cluttered with ads.

[-] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 week ago

There is !formula1@lemmy.world. I'll probably create a post later this week for sports communities on !communitypromo@lemmy.ca

[-] TomSelleck@lemm.ee 6 points 1 week ago

I’m already subbed. I’ve been trying to be more active about commenting

[-] branno@lemm.ee 6 points 1 week ago

Im shocked that the two biggest CFB communities have fewer than 1000 members.

One adjustment I had to make when I moved over to Lemmy is posting/commenting more. On Reddit most of the time your comment was buried. On Lemmy, a bunch of people are going to see it.

Not saying you need to be the only poster, but sometimes everyone just posting a bit more will reveal a community.

[-] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

I should have been in there, but my eyes were just too glued on the belting I was witnessing. It’s definitely a bummer that a lot of non-tech or news communities aren’t there yet in terms of participation, but at least we’re not making some Rich assholes even more rich on here!

[-] TomSelleck@lemm.ee 5 points 1 week ago

The eagles are my wife’s favorite team and it was a fun watch for us. Ass. Whoopin.

[-] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 week ago

Seems like you guys still posted 120 comments, that's not so bad!

Feel free to have a look at !communitypromo@lemmy.ca for some recommendations, especially this post: https://lemm.ee/post/54763669

Sorry to hear, hopefully we can make your experience a bit nicer

[-] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 5 points 1 week ago

Pro: There are lots of apps other than Voyager for people to find what works for them.

[-] Ziggurat@fedia.io 5 points 1 week ago

Indeed, Lemmy tends to have fewer but more engaged users. Which is weird at first. Can't wait for the moment we'll stop seeing known faces

[-] TORFdot0@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Sorry, I used to post a lot more on sports communities when I was on Reddit but haven’t really felt the urge to sense moving to Lemmy. It didn’t help that the game wasn’t very good last night either. We are here. I’m pretty active on the fantasy football community. But there is just a handful of us playing there. Feel free to join us at !fantasyfootball@lemmy.world. I’m going to start our offseason mega thread now that the superbowl is done

I deleted my last account on another instance and started a new one. So technically I'm not really NEW. But to answer your question, I wanna die.

[-] FIbynight@lemm.ee 50 points 1 week ago

Working on it. Little lonely since most of communities from reddit don’t seem to be here but still searching so we’ll see.

Definitely feeling like I need to install linux on my mac though, perhaps as some sort of initiation?

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago

When I joined I felt like I moved to a village after living in a metropolis. There's positives and negatives to that, but in the end Lemmy satisfies my doomscrolling needs so I'm never coming back to reddit.

[-] stringere@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

When you need to doomscroll.
Why not scroll wikipedia?

Oh wow I love that!

[-] roofuskit@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

I encourage you to create them and foster them.

[-] FIbynight@lemm.ee 7 points 1 week ago

Let me get through the welcome newcomers stuff first! :)

[-] ALoafOfBread@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 week ago

The peer pressure (and stupid broken updates from MS) finally got me to install linux about 8mos into using lemmy. It's pretty great, though - wish I'd done it sooner.

Ah, the good old hackintosh routine!

Did something happen on the alien site last week?

Still trying to figure this all out.

It sucks to prepare for a new social media home. I am still on Reddit, but I know it’s only a matter of time before some broligarch decides to take it down or do a TikTok reboot.

[-] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 week ago

Welcome, feel free if you have any questions!

[-] TwoWeebles@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

If you browse on PC, I found that the Alexandrite UI (https://a.lemmy.world/) made the transition easier for me. If you try it out use the drop-down at the top left to bounce between "subscribed", "local", and "all". "All" will help you find communities you like to subscribe to. Welcome and good luck.

[-] FrostyCaribou@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago

Enjoying it. I'm loving the filters I can use to limit some of the political spam.

[-] Aurinia@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago

I miss the drama to feed my schadenfreude I got from reading boru and the like. But besides not able to feed my bad vice, I think I can survive here.

[-] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 week ago

For schadenfreude about internal drama there is !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com and !fediverselore@lemmy.ca

It's going okay! Still trying to decide which instance to call home. I still find myself on reddit probably equal amount to Lemmy though, unfortunately

Trying to make a doc for migrants. Just the overview. Got the cold shoulder from one of the small web guys equating Lemmy to heroine. Essentially 'either do it like me or you are wrong'

Same as it ever was online.

As for me? Missing a few communities. Kinda head scratching at things over all, but it could be worse.

Both want to make a few instances and have no energy to babysit them.

There's a few communities I'm missing still, mostly shitpost and fan fiction subs. I'd like to start them but I'm still not sure of my own footing yet.

[-] ShyCake 8 points 1 week ago

Learned lemmy exsisted recently. How I'm doing? I'm getting through the days well enough to keep going with an even pace. Trying to focus on my family and my health, rather than the burning world around me. I check my news sites and scroll through the fediverse, hoping looking for good news. I get some of that, but a lot of it is bad news. But going through the fediverse has shown be like minded people, and people who feel just as frustrated and helpless as I do.

Knowing I'm not crazy Seeing that there are people trying to do good It gives me hope.

I feel like this is the right time to move to Lemmy.. I lost faith in Reddit and it is starting to feel like everything is either an ad or a bot.. I feel like the community heee is more genuine and real (we can only hope). And if more people feel like the big tech sites (Facebook/google/reddit) is now in the US Gov’s pocket then maybe it’s time to find alternatives. Blue sky is rocketing on that front but men I prefer the Reddit style discourse. Lemmy checks all those boxes. I’m hoping in time more communities pop up and more users follow.

Trying to get used to it - slowly. I like it so far! Still super pissed that Reddit can just arbitrarily ban accounts, basically without recourse, and shut you out from any community you were in. Lots of niche queer ones I was in... just can't participate anymore.

I like it here, unfortunately a lot of the more niche communities that I'm in haven't, and probably won't migrate here.
