Okay, hello ♥️
It's nice to be part of a smaller community again! Hopefully we see more people make the switch
Agreed. It's pretty refreshing that this community is smaller honestly. Kinda makes me wanna engage more.
This is my first comment. I just made an account on Lemmy.world. If I’m correct, users from other instances have a second @ in their name while native users do not.
It's really different compared to a lot of forums in the early days where everyone use to say 'lurk moar'
I'll wait and see how things go.
Just created a magazine for EASportsFC (formerly FIFA)! I kept looking to see if someone would make a magazine and just said why not make it myself. (insert squidward meme "when i’m in a worst moderator competition and my opponent is NeighborlyNomad")

Just delete all of my posts and a 12-year old reddit account. So long Reddit...
I'm not lurking. You are!
Share stories, comment. Lurking doesn't generate content.
Hi, I'm here! Signed up on an instance a few days ago with all this BS going on at Reddit, and I just read the "AMA" with spez. Absolutely ridiculous. I would love to see Lemmy take off. Just trying to get the hang of it at the moment, and I hope an iPhone app comes.
I am glad u/iamthatis saved the recordings because u/spez is a liar. I live in a one-party consent state myself, so I know what u/iamthatis did was legal.
Yes! We want to read what you have to say!
Good suggestion. I was always guilty of lurking on Reddit in the past, I'll make more of an effort here. 😊
After years of lurking it’s still hard to break the habit. But I’m really liking this fediverse and will push myself to become more engaged.
Just downloaded and installed Jerboa on my phone. This is me trying to do my part to help out a user-friendly Reddit replacement.
Resisting the urge to lurk, it’s making the platform more enjoyable
Question: If the equivalent Reddit subreddit doesn't exist that we use, should we create it? Or wait for the moderators from Reddit to create it?
Seems to me it makes sense to go ahead and create it. There's no reason the mods on Reddit should necessarily be the mods anywhere else. They don't own the subject under discussion, after all. They just happened to be the ones to start a subreddit or get invited to moderate by others.
There's a real opportunity in being able to create your own community here. If there were problems or issues with a subreddit, whether it be mod problems, rule issues, general tone of the sub, etc, this is a chance to change that and make it right.
I think part of that is the confusion around communities, how does a community on each instance mesh together? As people are being pushed away from the primary Lemmy instance due to overloading, the smaller ones look far less populated and lead people to feel that it’s a ghost town.
So when I follow /c/memes, am I following the one on my instance, the one on the first instance that created it or a hybrid of both?
Each instance has its own communities and they're separate from each other. If someone created a /memes/ community on another instance it would be its own thing, but people from other instances would still be able to view it.
To view a community on another instance you'd have to put the instance name in the URL. For example, if there was an instance called "coolinstance.com" with a community called "stuff", then for users on the coolinstance.com instance the URL for that community would be coolinstance.com/c/stuff. If there was another instance called reallycoolinstance.com, they'd still be able to see the "stuff" community, but to them the URL would be reallycoolinstance.com/c/stuff@coolinstance.com. They'd also be able to create their own "stuff" community, and people on coolinstance.com could access it by going to coolinstance.com/c/stuff@reallycoolinstance.com.
