Welcome! We've got memes on deck at [email protected] and if you're a programmer of some kinds we got [email protected] to scratch that itch and be sure to drop a shit(post) off at [email protected] or if you want SCIENCE and memes head over to the wonderful [email protected] or if you just want regular SCIENCE mander.xyz is full of sciency comms like [email protected] and [email protected] . [email protected] is also nice this time of year, but you'll have to post before you can leave.
We're not without our cons though, biggest problem we have are probably the Tankies (Authoritarian "communists" who will overlook any wrong doings of China, Russia, NK because they think their governments are the "gold standard"), but here they're mostly on the Tankie Triad lemmy.ml, lemmygrad and hexbear. You have a .ee account so you only have to worry about .ml, but on Lemmy you can do a personal instance wide block if you'd rather just not deal with them. If you want to see what they get up to from a safe distance check [email protected]

I’ve enjoyed it. Doubt I’m using it to its fullest ability. Only on two instances.

Use Reddit Enhancement Suite. You'll thank me later.
makes red it much more usable and easy on the eyes.
I used it for awhile (I've been on Reddit for about 13 years)
Honestly though pulling more away from social media is good for my mental health. And making the experience more abrasive so it's less of a passive thing is good.

Wait first I'm hearing of this one. What happened now?
I think they're referring to the fact that you no longer can create accounts without using an email address. You were able to use a UI loophole to do it before via Old Reddit, but no more.
-
just a heads up, the instance you're on is pretty controversial.

You don't need multiple accounts, communities are subscribable from remote instances.

Reddit is being crazy and censoring/banning people.
-
They seem to be blocking access from certain IPs and VPNs (if not logged in?) Which is funny because some of these VPNs are not really hiding anything. Like my work VPN which I would think makes it pretty obvious which company I work for. Annoying when search results link to reddit content.
You can use this script with a browser addon like Tampermonkey to get around the sign-in requirement:
// ==UserScript== // @name reddit - unblock (create cookie and reload) // @namespace Violentmonkey Scripts // @match *://*.reddit.com/* // @grant none // @version 2024-01-08 // @noframes // @license MIT License // @description for "Blocked" "whoa there, pardner!" cowboy bs // ==/UserScript== /* thanks: https://www.reddit.com/r/mullvadvpn/comments/18jbxb2 */ if (document.title === "Blocked") { document.cookie="reddit_session=;Domain=.reddit.com;Path=/;Expires=;Secure=true;SameSite=None"; window.location.reload(); } -

I created an account a while back now, but it’s been mostly inactive since then. I’m liking it a lot more here!

Speaking of users, whatever happened to Flyingsquid?

God I really hope its not dead. I know everyone suggests voyager but I don't like the gestures and it feels slower than just having buttons.
You can have gestures disabled on voyager and just use the buttons

Yeah, what the other guy said. lemmy.ml is run by tankies. best to move
i moved from .ml about a year ago because of their moderation... "policies"

Reddit, when the walls fell
-
I'll still check sometimes on Reddit when I'm at my desk if I feel like it and I've got time, so like barely anymore.
When 3rd party apps died I moved here.
After them saying that if you upvote enough banned content you'll get banned, I'm just waiting to catch ban over there.
i still lurk a lot. i have a rule against posting there though... which admittedly i did break recently, but only to plug lemmy. otherwise no posts/comments there in two years

Idk I was just thinking that last night, hasn't been active in like 2 weeks. I hope they're ok
-
Just curious, what was difficult about finding a way to get back here?
Is it because the various instance names are hard to remember?
My theory is that’s why so many new people end up on Lemmy.world. Many of the other popular instances have host names / domain names that are more difficult to remember and to tell someone about verbally.
Yeah it was definitely partly due to the domain names. But a big part of it is that I'm kinda a dumb ass when it comes to this stuff sometimes. I think I went on the playstore and searched lemmy? I honestly can't remember. But the guide I followed was pretty much tailor made to dumbasses/lazy people. I'm so glad I saw it

I use voyager and don't use any gestures. Looks like I turned them off in settings. And they have a ton of options for things you can adjust in the settings. I was a reddit is fun app user and am completely happy with voyager. But I'm also almost always just lurking. So more active users might have more problems but with how much you can adjust it I doubt it.
