Welcome to the fediverse!
First time posting after 9 solid years on Reddit. Thanks for the welcome
12 years for me and i’m kicking myself for letting myself get so entrenched after i had experienced the same thing before; fediverse, here i come! lol
First time I’ve seen a comment so good that not only does it get upvotes, it has a negative number of downvotes,
Anyone know how that is even possible?
Science and fuckery
It’s been very common in my 3 weeks on Lemmy, it’s probably more common to see 100% upvotes.
I downvoted you. No one else had any downvotes; please let me know if it registered. I don’t want vote fuckery like they have on reddit.
It registered, I see the downvote. The reason you don’t see downvotes on most comments is that most people here don’t give them out for no reason, so there just aren’t any to display.
Pretty sure the negative downvotes weren’t intentional manipulation, my best guess was some cross-federation code interacting weirdly. Though it’s fixed now anyway, you responded to a comment that was 17 days old.
Thanks for the reply
Locals only! Haole go home!
I am here now. Just signed up. Mod of /r/bicycling, /r/sanfrancisco, and a few other smaller subs. The whole thing is a mess right now, so I wanted to see if there are greener pastures here. Any tips are welcome. I literally have no idea what I’m doing.
Bathroom’s that way.
I wasn’t thrilled at the idea of leaving Reddit after 14 years but some things cannot be avoided. My first post here on Lemmy. Thank you for the warm welcome!

Things seem to be better here anyways. Being able to interact with people across different platforms (I’m replying to your comment through Mastodon because it works and it’s cool 😎) really does make it feel like “the world of tomorrow” to me
Wandering around, RiFless, looking for something to do on the internet.
I’ve been here a week or two now. It’s going better than Voat did for me when I last tried to leave Reddit. That was full of alt-right crazies basically, but so far here, people have been lovely.
Reddit was fun but the admins are insane, I reported an account that was posting CP and they banned me whilst claiming they took action against that account yet it is still up. Classy.
Thank you for the warm welcome. Any tips and tricks for us Reddit refugees?
What’s to stop a single Lemmy instance from going “this is taking too much time and money to run, I’m shutting this server down”? I guess that can apply to any service, but monetization sometimes prevents that from happening. But in this case it’s all volunteer work and running a server takes resources.
What happens to all the users created under that Lemmy instance?

Wait… Where am I? I’m getting withdrawal symptoms. 11 years wandering the Reddit… I’m lost, a little confused, possibly afraid.
Heelo there
After a year I went back and tried using Reddit again, wow, what an absolute shit show. That site got noticeably worse.
I had an account there for 8 years with no issue, and this time around I was perma banned after a week cause the mods have really gone off the deep end.
Most threads are filled with Ai comments that all say basically the same thing, and if your comment differs you’re banned. You can’t have a discussion there anymore
Good news everyone! I’ve just smelled out an entirely new parallel dimension called the fediverse
Apollo refugee here! Let’s hope this sticks because I lost all trust in Reddit.
Hi there everyone!
