I haven’t seen Reddit give so much attention to the Fediverse in a long time. Maybe we can help them and answer some questions.

I bet the fediverse wouldn’t censor a post about reddit because the fediverse isn’t a bitch.
Reddit took action faster about Lemmy than they did responding to the epidemic of CSAM subs.
I left reddit because they kept resisting the removal of subs that directly used the platform to sell CSAM under the guise of a specific niche of porn which normally is legal. Direct contact with reddit to explain why it was CSAM went nowhere.
Welcome here!
That sounds right for the company whose CEO was appointed moderator of r/jailbait. This was before you had to accept an invitation to be moderator, but fuck Spez regardless.
How can you look more alien than Zuckerberg?
He was the inspiration for reddit’s logo
It made me make an account here. I also convinced the group chat to move to signal last night.
Based
Welcome, pal!
Hey, can you go to /r/Cleveland, and convince them all to move to /c/Cleveland?
And /r/ClevelandGuardians to move to !clevelandguardians@fanaticus.social?
omg the top comment just got deleted with over 500 upvotes
I think it was when it was edited to include specific links to Lemmy instances, instead of the join-lemmy.org website
I still see the comment on Spaduf’s profile, but it shows as deleted in the post
I think maybe the link to lemmy.world is what triggered their filter? because that was edited in
Gotta be. It was right after I made the edit.
actually I think it was mander.xyz for some reason? and it doesn’t seem to happen in r/fediverse
no wait, something else is also doing it, midwest.social is also doing it, lemmy.world is clear, infosec.pub is clear, ttrpg.network is not allowed
no idea how Reddit or r/technology chose which instances to ban lol
Knowing reddit moderators, they probably just encountered someone from those instances that disagreed with them that one time.
Wild. Do we know if there’s anything else on the list.
Reddit is scared. Good job getting the screenshot.
Oh crap
Let’s fucking go, this is great to see! Remember to be nice to the new users if you see them around.
Ah, a worthy reason to dust off the ol account
Yep! I’m on there right now directing people to Lemmy
Hey, can you go to /r/Cleveland, and convince them all to move to /c/Cleveland?
And /r/ClevelandGuardians to move to !clevelandguardians@fanaticus.social?
Just threw in a link in both subs for anybody interested in getting off Reddit:)
HAZZAH! Maybe soon we can talk baseball in the guardians community (and how Jose Rameriez is our baseball lord!), and talk about Tim Misney’s eyebrows in the Cleveland community.
You KNOW what I do! eyebrows
And to anyone reading this NOT from Cleveland, and have no idea what I’m talking about…
eyebrows intensify
Just saw your comments there, quite funny
Lol thanks I try
Would if I could but I deleted my account and Reddit has been blocking my connection for months anyway.
They block cookies comrad.
Frankly I don’t want Redditors here
If there’s a single group of people I hate it’s Redditors. Just fuck them (haha zecks, my wife left me smh, I want this guys wife)
In an alternate universe I would be like a ted kaczynski of anti reddit sending hot packages to the authors of most painful comments
how did you find Lemmy? did you find out through reddit?
ive been here over a year now and I sure did. haven’t used reddit since.
if you didn’t come here from reddit, I’d be curious to hear where you did come from before making a Lemmy account.
Im sorry to inform you that:
-
Lemmy is a reddit alternative
-
What you did right now was very redditor esque
-
Lemmy is mostly people who used to be Redditors. People are people.
That’s the truth. For people remembering how large was Lemmy before the API fiasco, the vast majority of people here came from Reddit.
@spaduf@slrpnk.net , could you maybe edit your comment to something like
"Lemmy has 42k monthly active users
- https://discuss.online/ if you want a server located in the USA (content is still accessible from any server, the most difference latency)
- https://sopuli.xyz/ if you want a server located in the EU
- https://vger.app/ if you want an app
Feel free if you have any questions"
join-lemmy isn’t the best for user onboarding: https://lemmy.world/post/24220536?scrollToComments=true
Hell yeah, Voyager. 🤘
Hey, question about Voyager, I’m using it, and if I’m on my main feed and hit the back button, it opens a list of subs, and there seems to be nothing I can do to get back to the feed without refreshing it. It’s veru frustrating because I keep losing track of the post I was just about to tap on. Do you know anything about this?
If I’m understanding you correctly, you are talking about how the Home feed, All feed, etc does not save your scroll position when you leave them. When you go to the top level of the app.
I think this is because the app always refreshes the current state/order of the feed when you return to it. I looked around the settings and I don’t see an option for this.
This sounds like a feature request. It seems like a grace period would do the trick.
I’d make an issue on GitHub or maybe a post on https://lemmy.world/c/voyagerapp about it.
One thought tho, have you tried swipe gestures to go back and forth instead of your back button? It’s difficult to accidentally go back twice when swiping. In case you’ve never done it, try swiping from outside the screen in.
I know it’s not for everyone. And apologies if I’m over explaining swiping.
Not just a grace period, but opening the sub selection menu, I can no longer just close it and return to the view I already had. That view can stick around indefinitely if you enter a post and then back out of it, the posts you had before will remain. There will be no refresh. But when you press back one more time and open that menu, the only way back to the home feed is to select it, which will refresh it. The app has the ability to not refresh, but not in that very specific circumstance. Like literally just a button to close the menu would do the trick I think.
But thanks for the information. This one issue has made me consider switching several times.
also what’s the best alternative for Mastodon? a lot of people there already tried Mastodon and didn’t like it due to UX/UI issues
I would be good to list Mastodon as well as an alternative, and also listing Mbin might be good too? but then maybe you’re putting too many choices lol
Honestly I think the answer is BlueSky. For all the problems that people have with it, it’s going to be much more successful in getting people off the Nazi platforms. What’s more X->BlueSky->Mastodon seems easier than X->Mastodon for most people.
Agreed
Misskey’s probably the most polished feeling, though under the hood it’s apparently a total mess.
I would help, but I honestly don’t have the password anymore. I don’t think I signed up with an email, but if I did it was a dummy one. I wish I could help.
Edit: Also, I didn’t know about this bridge for Mastodon:
if you want your Mastodon posts to also show on Bluesky then use this bridge https://fed.brid.gy/ you only need to follow the account @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy (
note: is this a typo?It is not a typo. It will follow you back and make sure to accept the follow) and it will automatically bridge youthe bridge is pretty nice, I would recommend everyone on compatible platforms to use it (Bluesky, and probably any AP microblogging platform, but I’ve only tried it with Mastodon)
Do you know how I connect Pixelfed to Mastodon too? Or is it automatic and I just do search maybe?
yea it should just be a matter of searching your username, but you need to be logged in to search remote instances (they don’t want anonymous requests spamming the network)
what’s your Pixelfed username? I can pull it up if you want
Thanks for the info, I’ll give it a go. It’s great that we can link to bluesky but not necessarily be a part of them.
On another note, don’t you think it’s a little weird that someone from world is saying to not follow small instances? I’m not sure I understand bringing them up in the first place.

Where is that comment? I didn’t see it. Maybe they’re thinking back when it was really hard to get new communities federated, but it’s not so bad these days, and even the medium sizes instances already have tons of communities already federated.
anyways I think we should’ve give people too much trouble as long as they’re joining the Fediverse lol, they can move instances as they get a feel for it
I’ve personally had an issue with a world admin in the past, that’s why I picked up on it. I don’t seem to be having as much issues lately, so maybe they’ve chilled. It’s the advertising part that kind of bugs me for their instance instead of Lemmy in general:
Really if you’re telling someone about it, you just tell them one of the bigger, better instances. Don’t send them to that “pick a server” thing. I don’t know if I’m allowed to link it here, but the name of the software and the word “world” with a period in between is a fine server for both Lemmy and Mastodon.
I went from a heavy, daily reddit user to making half a dozen comments here in a year. All my activity is now over there, outside of search results.
It’s by u/Serinus

The idea of picking a bigger server is better for new people, but idk how I feel about them advertising only their server.
The average person hits a server choice and gives up so it probably does help add more people.
