Buy European

Still not sure about the best Android App, I've tried Interstellar, what seemed kind of unfinished. Now I have Voyager, what seems better so far.

Furthermore I miss some Sub..Lemmis? like r/bida (am i the asshole), r/Staiy, r/LeopardsAteMyFace .

Joined yesterday, I'm loving the gestures of the voyager app

Fine, and how are you?

Not only Lemmy i also joined Mastodon lol. I find this expirience to be refreshing, maybe thats because this platform has less users or maybe because its not under someones control but i feel as if i moved from big, overpopulated city to a countryside. Its like breathing fresh air, i feel myself free, and i love reading comments here, they look like real conversations between humans. Although im not from European Union but im your neighbor from Ukraine and i totally support this movement or its better to call an idea, i dunno. I replaced a lot of stuff already but thats only the first step. Also im really glad to be here.

A question,

How when and where does the money come from to keep lemmy running?

Since nothing is free in life who pays for lemmy?

A few unwritten rules I've found useful over the last couple of years since moving to Lemmy :)

1. If you're missing a particular smaller or niche community - be the change and create it!
2. If someone is challenging you in a thread in good faith, respond in the same way
3. If they're just being a dick, don't waste any sort of mental energy on them - just block them, forget them and move on.
4. If you're the one being a dick (and be honest, we all know when we are) walk away for a bit
5. Don't be too proud to ask for guidance but do it in the right communities :) e.g. don;t ask for tech help in a community thats not about tech help.
6. Be prepared to see a lot of Star Trek memes and Nicole spam.
7. Bask in the warm glow of an open source, privacy respecting, non-corporately controlled environment.

Came over from Reddit as part of plan to divest from US-based products. Happy to be here, and plan to explore. Mainly lurked over on Reddit - hope to contribute more actively over here!

A facebook friend who is transgender posted a list of alternate platforms to use instead of (ironically) Facebook, Google, Insta etc. And since I had recently been perma banned from reddit for twice quoting from The Godfather (I guess their algorithm hasn't seen it) and various djt related insults, I thought I'd give this a try.

Yay to all the fresh lemmings. Welcome welcome! Just don't be a dipshit please.

This is my first comment, just joined during the weekend. It took about half a day to get used to the lower amount of stuff and the slower pace here. And I really like it! The quality of discourse here seems so much higher and with the lower amount of posts I find that I can take my time and not get overwhelmed. Should have joined years ago :-)

Still looking around 😬

i do miss my niche communities on reddit, maybe i'll start some here,other than that lemmy is a good alternative to replace the popular feed on reddit.

Thanks.

I do like that the sub-lemmy is focused on Europe as a whole, the one on Reddit was labelled as EU

Great, I've made myself right at home. As another user said I miss the smaller communities but it can only get better from here.

I’m a little bit confused still but haven’t had the time to read through any FAQs. I don’t know how to access my account in a web browser for example (I’m using an iPhone app now).

So thank you for those links! Will have a look.

I just joined and i'm exploring right now. It's looking good ! Of course it will be easier in a few days but i'm honestly pleasantly surprised !

Very nice here so far 🙂

I like it so far :) Bit confusing sometimes and I'm still trying to find communities that I like and are active.

I hope that many more make the switch from reddit, but I can also see why some people might find the Initial setup confusing or anoying. I think it just takes some time to get used to Lemmy, so I hope a lot of people try it out and stay

New world to explore, keep clicking and wil see where I end up!

Still learning where to find stuff, and unfortunately most of "my" subreds aren't here (yet), but it looks promising and will continue to support.

Haven't checked Reddit much since creating this account. Thought I might use both but Lemmy is genuinely much better. The only thing I haven't figured out is how to visit the original instance from within voyager and how to make my feed more diverse. Currently it's very politics heavy and I don't wanna unsub from those communities but other stuff kinda gets burried.

I like how Lemmy actually grew in size after i left it after the Reddit moderation problem of a couple years ago. All in all, it's all kind of overwhelming but maybe I'm too emotional.

Just arrived. It seams great.
