This is my first post, on my first day here, and it feels pretty good.

It’s kind of a rush picking a username knowing most are still available.

[-] pressanykeynow@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Nicknames are per instance so your favourites are always available somewhere.

Hey, does anyone know when a new user can upload an avatar? I’m still being denied.

[-] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 day ago

It take a few week on Lemm.ee IIRC. Most people wait for a bit, if that's really important for you you can have a look at https://lemmy.zip/.

You can export and import your settings from your settings account using the default UI

Can some people who are willing to post something other than American politics and Reddit bashing posts join lemmy soon, I'm sick of my entire feed being nothing but all these negative topics

[-] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

I think Lemmy is a bit too complicated to attract the kind of light-hearted users that made Reddit shine. It's daunting unless you have nowhere else to go.

[-] recklessengagement@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Use an app with filter lists. Add american political terms to filter. Experience gets muuuuuch better.

You can also block certain users who post in a certain way.

Feel free to practice blocking users on me.

For those of us using Firefox there was a post on !youshouldknow@lemmy.world on how you can use uBlock Origin to create word filters.

To do so, open up the uBlock Origin dashboard, go to the ‘My filters’ tab, and add this filter:

lemmy.world##article.row:has-text(/word1|word2|word3|word4/i)

For example:

lemmy.world##article.row:has-text(/Trump|Elon|Musk|nazi/i)

Remarkable functionality. Thanks for helping me and everyone else out

I had a discussion the other day, where people were not happy with lemmy instances not handing data over to google. They argument was that we should do everything so lemmy can be found more easily, as the only goal is to "win" against reddit.

Unfortunately in that discussion people were not interested in using Lemmy and the Fediverse at large to create a positive vision of the internet. They just wanted to stick it to one corporation they don't like. I don't like reddit either, but i think we should thrive for a Fediverse that upholds decentralization, open source and non commercialization of social interactions. All the large Internet corporations want to create the opposite and have been quite successful so far.

[-] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 day ago

They will come, and they will go. Let them.

[-] tischbier@feddit.org 2 points 1 day ago

I agree with you. It’s short sighted to give in to a separate corporation to “beat” the first. The only way to beat Reddit is to stop using it and forget about it.

The goal should be to remove the ability for a single entity to control the public flow of discourse.

I’m off to buy a Lemmy sticker to put on my thinkpad

[-] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 day ago

Blocking all of the political and news communities can help

!communitypromo@lemmy.ca has a pinned post without active non political communities

happy to be here~~

[-] ThrawnSolo@lemmy.world 43 points 1 day ago

I'm loving it already! And...I'm not scrolling through ads too!!

[-] secret300@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 1 day ago

Back with the API fiasco is when I stopped using Reddit because there's no way I'm using the official app with the amount of ads there are

[-] Catoblepas 13 points 1 day ago

Every time I end up on Reddit the amount of ads makes me recoil. You’re free now!

Dozens? More.

[-] arotrios@lemmy.world 30 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Dozens of dozens of dozens of dozens of dozens... 112,744 to be inexact...

Lemmy Total Users by Day: 1,352,936 for 3/12/25.

Divided by 12, that's 112,744 and some change... probably a couple of baker's dozens in there....

[-] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 26 points 1 day ago

Looks like ~53k monthly active users, I think that's a better stat, since it doesn't include people making new alts and abandoning their old accounts.

[-] arotrios@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Then that's 4,416 dozen, give or take a baker.

But all in all, I'd say that lemmings are much more active than Redditors - just based on responses to my posts and comments. I've earned 15k karma on this account, far more than any of my vastly older reddit accounts. Take that for what you will, but I've personally found the community here much more active, especially as of late.

Content quality is drastically better too.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rule 1- No brigading.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.
