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

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/

Hello fellow Fedizen!!!

[master@lemm.ee]

I make like 10 accounts before i found one that worked for me. Luckily i can log them all into sync for lemmy and switch between them when im doom scrolling so i can doom scroll the same content 10 times before bed!

Hello! Now let's go grab a beer...

I didn't realize Weird Al's line about "me too'ing like some brain-dead AOL'er" was referencing Eternal September, he would make that reference.

Nice. I was being lazy, I was thinking of writing my own add-on or tampermonkey script, but I didn't get around to it. I should have known there was already one out there.

[dontmakemorebabies@lemm.ee]

Same. I was on Kbin, was denied at .world (not safe enough), then landed on lemm.ee.

[pyre@lemmy.world]

to the new users:

Ahoy, maties

[vitorobles@lemmy.today]

Yep! Took two tries as well. I got banned from one because literally my second comment pissed off the mod! Im already loving Lemmy.

[stupidbrotherinlaw@lemmy.world]

Gooble gobble one of us! One of us!

[dragonfucker@lemmy.nz]

Drag has a friend who got instance banned on first comment lmao

[sudoer777@lemmy.ml]

reddit actually defended the piracy subreddit? lmao

[sudoer777@lemmy.ml]

It also blocks Tor, other instances don't

[fredthefishlord@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

Truly the real reddit experience lol

[werefreeatlast@lemmy.world]

But not .world or .ml? I got an account in both and I didn't know those places were disliked until I started getting automatic bans only for being in those instances.

Anyway, that's why Lemmy is so good, just figure out later where you wanna go. The first thing to really understand is that one Lemmy instance is similar to Reddit while another instance is also similar to reddit but all instances are independent of each other and Lemmy is not reddit at all.

You can have a Lemmy purely focused on sex stuff while another might be about painting or maybe another is owned by a church or a bakery. The Bakery might like the church and the sex stuff. The church one might only be federated to the bakery and painting one. Its not just that an instances can have many different channels, but each instance can have channels with specific focus. Or even an instances for your local diy business or a 18 year old who rally wants us to see what's in between his legs. Lemmy is definitely far from what reddit is.
