The /r/piracy link to lemmy /c/piracy hit the reddit frontpage with 7K+ updoots!

Especially important to understand decentralization when it comes to topics like piracy. Unlike Reddit, a non-commercial Lemmy instance isn't going to be shut down by a CEO who is worried about how it might affect their ability to sell ads. But, admins can get threatened, they can get overwhelmed, they can get hit by a bus. It's good to know how how to find other communities on other servers, etc.

And this is why lemmy can feel unwelcoming lol

There's still a lot of old, useful and informative posts on Reddit that I find via a Google search. It annoys me that whenever I find one of those posts, I have to go and edit the URL to be old.reddit instead of www.reddit otherwise it's so hard to use. Like, the useful thing is in the comments, but the comments are collapsed by default, so if you search for something you won't find it until you expand those comments.
If they get rid of old.reddit I think I'm going to end up using the wayback machine to get that old post rather than trying to use that horrible new reddit interface.

My advice to newbies is to just sign up for whatever, then change later if ya need to. I think I tried 2 other instances before i found the one that fit best for me

It's fine.
The occasional complaint I see is not enough that I've considered moving and I don't even remember what those were. But the great thing about the fediverse is that you can move if you want!

Very dated Lemmy version. LW users still can't remove their uploaded media

Honestly I never have to do it unless I'm extraordinarily bored and have nothing better to do.

It's not really the backup since last year, but the primary, but reddit won't let me shut down /r/piracy and the other mods who took over my top spot after reddit removed me still believe in reddit, so they refuse to leave and call lemmy still the backup.

We are called Lemmings over here!

Agreed. New Reddit is terrible. I find having to flip to different pages to get to deeper replies particularly annoying.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexadecanal
(...) In 2021, inhalation of hexadecanal was found to reduce aggression in men but to trigger aggression in women. Hexadecanal is one of the most abundant substances emitted by human babies from their heads, which may be an evolutionary survival mechanism to induce mothers to defend the baby and fathers to not attack it.

I just read another comment (not sure if in this thread or another) saying that lemmy.world and lemmy.ml links are banned on Reddit. No idea if it's really true or not though.

Sorry to hear

Instead of manually editing the URL you can use an add-on like this: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/old-reddit-redirect/
