Everyone remember to be kind to the newbies, not assume that they immediately understand how the fediverse works, and not to talk about your favourite Linux distro until the second date
Also maybe try not to harass them about which instance they choose to join (unless it's a tanky one lmao), just try to educate them if the subject comes up. I think it's overwhelming to jump right away into "this instance has this problem, you should move to this other one"
I say this still not having moved from Lemmy.world
Is there a problem with Lemmy.world? I joined this one to avoid tankies, but I haven't gotten familiar with the place yet (despite moderating a community lol).
Besides smaller complaints (every instance has their issues). .world has gotten too large. Many people have suggested that it close its doors for now so other instances can catch up.
It's fine.
The occasional complaint I see is not enough that I've considered moving and I don't even remember what those were. But the great thing about the fediverse is that you can move if you want!
Very dated Lemmy version. LW users still can't remove their uploaded media
Teach them about beans.
And how to hold your poop in for a few days for... reasons.
I was there. In the ancient times.
You were there when the ancient texts were written, but remember, some of us were there when the alphabet was conceived.
For the uninitiated.
Thank you for keeping Lemmy lore alive, you're doing god's work.
What were you saying about Slackware? Who said Slackware?
No, I said, "I like the slacks you're wearing." They would go nicely with a red hat.
M’lady. tips fedora
Oh please honey, you gonna scare them. Now kids, welcome to Lemmy! Take a minute to visit and make yourselves confortable. Tomorrow I'll show you my Nobara.
Narrator: They use arch btw.
Second date? I'm getting a date out of this now? Oh. Oh man. This is intense! I didn't even know she LIKED me! Wait....I don't even know who we're talking about!!!
So, my second-favorite Linux distro is Arch, BTW
I can talk about Linux distros on my date? But I don’t have any dates. Oh, right.
Some supermarkets have them
Neelix, is that you?
Why would you go on a date with someone if you didn't know their religious opinions (favourite init system)???
If they’re coming from Reddit, they probably expect a little negging.
The entire point of c/piracy is sharing freedom. Why would you not talk to people about Linux? (plus the torrenting tools are just so much more efficient there...)
It’s a joke on how off putting the computer nerds can be here to normies.
I mean, they're normies... anything that's not just a one-step process buttoned as "App" is going to give them "off putting vibe".
And this is why lemmy can feel unwelcoming lol
