They matter in that particular post. Other than that, no, they don’t.

Its not reddit by all what that means.

Simultaneously good and bad. IMO, more good than bad.

Every time there’s a vague reference to a car, you need to lose your everyloving mind at the pure evil it represents.

Hey, welcome, glad to have you here!
The one difference to keep in mind is that each community (the subreddit equivalent) and each server (the equivalent of a ‘site’ like Reddit) have their own sets of rules and mods. So when you post to a server that’s not your home, just be aware you are subject to those sets of rules in addition to your home server. You should be fine for the most part if you act with empathy and respect, but no need to take it too hard if a mod informs you that you broke a rule.
Lastly, don’t be afraid to post/comment in niche communities with a small amount of activity, but it’s a good idea to do a community search (under “All” filter) to check if a more active community is present on another server.
Have fun, I’ll see you around!

Welcome!
Lemmy instances are in the middle of transitioning to a new version (0.19.x). It’s been a bit bumpy. You might notice some changes once this instance upgrades. We’ve been holding back until we’re confident that the new version is stable.
If you need to contact the admins you can message us directly. Or, for a faster response, get into our instance’s Matrix chat: https://matrix.to/#/#sh.itjust.works:matrix.org

99% of the time they’re using so much inside language I have no idea what they’re trying to convey.
sbv@sh.itjust.works 9 months ago
I’m not sure about the “far” part.
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 9 months ago
It used to be quite far left, back when tankies were everywhere. Now it’s pretty tame, though you’ll still run into literal socialists/communists from time to time.
I consider myself libertarian, and it’s honestly not bad, and I like ragging on conservatives anyway.

Yes. The most important thing to know is that when life hands you a Lemmy, make Lemmyonade.

First things first, have you watched Star Trek and which Linux distro do you run?

Beans
Codilingus@sh.itjust.works 9 months ago
Nope.

List of communities you see from your instance is just the ones subscribed to by an existing user. You may still find a niche one and have to be the first to manually subscribe.

You should know there are multiple free clients you can use to view content in Lemmy. Try a few and select one you like. I recommend using one that provides the ability to block specific instances, communities, and users. It will improve your experience and reduce frustrations.

Don’t criticize Linux
tuff_wizard@aussie.zone 9 months ago
I know we’ve said it before but THIS year is definitely going to be the year of desktop Linux!
Ziggurat@sh.itjust.works 9 months ago
Most people already have several Linux machine in their home. I wouldn’t be surprised that Linux has already thc malority of consumer device.
Just Desktop aren’t but smartphone, routers, and tons of smart shit are Linux based
