This is my first post on here, just navigating a new platform, I like all the little communities, so fun
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
No, ran out last week
How do you become an official shitizen?
Welcome!
Welcome to lemmy :3
A few tips:
What does NSFW stand for? Nudes Sex Fun Wanking? Is switching on cause explicit content to show up or block it?
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.
Welcome! We’re all pretty friendly around these parts, so if you have any questions, feel free to ask :)
Welcome to Lemmy! Have fun and be active, everyone appreciates it.
Welcome in from the cold. We have hot cocoa and blankets.
You got any beans?
Welcome! Good to have you here
Hi New on Lemmy I’m dad!
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.
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
!unixsocks@lemmy.blahaj.zone
neofetch is dead you phony! Haha.
Yay Dave! Welcome :-)
Hello and welcome to Lemmy.
Welcome!
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
Yes, that’s it indeed!
Happy to help!
Hello there!
“General Kenobi! You are a bold one.”
Hello! Glad you’re enjoying it, always happy to see new people around.
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.
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
Yeah it’s weird that the smartest communities are too dumb to leave reddit
Welcome!
Feel free to post on !newtolemmy@lemmy.ca if you have any questions, else there are lots of guides around for you to use. There are a few pinned to the sidebar of your instance, and there’s also this post from over on lemmy.ca: lemmy.ca/post/39167034
Cool thanks, I’ll check it out. I can learn new things
What did you use before and how did you find Lemmy?
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.
