I was about to go have a nap, as it’s waaaay too early for me on a Saturday, but I just wanted to wish you welcome, and I hope you enjoy your stay.

Ya I wasn’t sure which one to pick, this server said it was solar powered I think so I thought that was cool. It popped up with a list of a few to pick from. I’m on Vancouver Island and am exploring the Fediverse apps. I’m enjoying Pixelfed so far.

solar powered
Hydroelectric, I believe.

Is subscribing how you “follow” a certain community or person. I’ve been bouncing around to multiple apps so just checking how things work.
Thanks for the warm welcome
Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 weeks ago
Yes, that’s it indeed!
Happy to help!

Hey Dave, I like how our little niche communities are all connected to each other, it’s like a prairie dog town. You can pop your head up anywhere and meet other little dogs! Glad you popped up here! IMHO, this instance is the most welcoming, when you’re new to an interest group/niche, shitizens reach out and explain how federation works, lore, etc. Big hearts.

Welcome! I came here from reddit about a year and a half ago and never looked back. I hope you find Lemmy flexible and real and we meets your needs. :)

The only thing I miss about reddit are the large, academic subject specific subs, that tightly moderate their subs to make sure that as many of the posts/answers are from accredited people, or that the post seems to check out when they look the subject up. r/askhistorians for example.

Yeah it’s weird that the smartest communities are too dumb to leave reddit
lagoon8622@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
Well but also I miss like r/gme_meltdown too. And the sportsball stuff but I know most don’t care about that around here

Welcome to lemmy :3
A few tips:
- If you’re coming from Reddit know karma here isn’t a thing and nobody really cares how many likes you get
- If you want a great mobile client I reccomend Thunder
- You will see a lot of Linux users and Queer people (with overlap), also expect to see a lot of :3
- Unless you set up filters in the settings except to see a lot of political content
- If you want some memes I reccomend !memes@lemmy.world and !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone
- If you just want to post cat pictures feel free :3

What does NSFW stand for? Nudes Sex Fun Wanking? Is switching on cause explicit content to show up or block it?
Gloomy@mander.xyz 4 weeks ago
Not Safe For Work, mostly nudity, sometimes violence.
I don’t know where you are doing the switching on or off part.
I do this over my app (Boost), where I have to turn it on (show NSFW content) to see it.

I was using Instagram and threads mostly but was wanting to stop using Meta based apps. Someone posted about the fediverse so I started using mastodon and Pixelfed.
This is supposed to be a Reddit replacement is what some people said but I didn’t really use that before

Alright I’m gonna need you to buy an older ThinkPad and then install Arch Linux on it. Then I need you to set some anime background, preferably uncomfortable close to hentai if possible. Then I’m going to need you to get some thigh high socks and put those on. Put your legs up on the desk and take a picture. Make sure something like neofetch is running, so people know you use Arch BTW.
Once you have done that, head on over to /c/unixsocks@lemmy.blahaj.zone and make a post.
If you could do that, that would be great
