I’ve seen quite a few posts on here about how new user are finding Lemmy, but I was wondering how existing Lemmy users feel about horde of redditors descending on their site?

I’m hoping that so far those of who have migrated over are trying to fit in and find out how to fit in with the existing culture, but do people who have been here for a while have concerns about what is to come?

I for one am hoping Lemmy will be a less toxic environment than Reddit, and I’d hate for this influx to ruin things.

Here’s hoping!

More people = more content More content = more fun.

There will always be scumbags but Lemmy makes it incredibly easy to deal with them. For instance if someone is harrassing users in a beehaw sub, then the admin can ban them from the entire instance.

I want to make peace with beehaw, i wasn’t trying to be a jerk over there, i was banned after one day, i just wish there was a warning system, i mean bam after one day maybe 4 posts is extreme in my opinion, if anyone can talk to them about community blocking over instance blocking i would love for exploding heads to be unblocked as an instance by beehaw

I doubt exploding heads is in line with their ideas for how the instance should be.

It’s been great in my opinion, i feel like since they came on everyone is talking again, i just had an insightful conversation worth a a group of people about climate change in Canada causing the fires, im a trump guy/ poop poster but im also for helping the environment and i enjoyed the conversation very much, i think everyone is trying to gain users understandably but I’m glad that the instance blocking isn’t happening again and I’m glad ppl are embracing community blocking as an alternative

As someone who was on Lemmy very early on but left due to the toxicity of the core community, I find it so wonderful I've come back for the first time since last year. It's rekindled my belief in Lemmy as a viable platform in the fediverse and I'm even considering reactivating my lemmy instance.

The only thing I'm afraid of is the newcomers being influenced by certain established instances and their anti-social and politically fundamentalist way as that would ruin this unique chance for Lemmy to grow.

@AyyLMAO @rarkgrames that's one of the reasons I've recommended #kbin over #lemmy (the other being that it federates better with other 'verse group platforms including Friendica Forums, lemmy communities, guppe groups, and their native kbin magazines)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Looks interesting, thanks for sharing.

I signed up for kbin before joining Lemmy but I honestly found kbin a bit confusing. Lemmy just seems a little easier to navigate imho. If Lemmy wasn’t here I’m sure I would have persevered with kbin but I’m happy with Lemmy so this will be what I stick with I think.

I've had an account for a while (not this one) but it never had enough content to really get me hooked like i was with reddit, and jerboa was a bit too glitchy. But i've always wanted people to switch to lemmy since i like open source stuff so this is great

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I am pretty happy with it!
