Just joined today but currently loving the default browser layout, will see what communities are available and start making content.

Hello everyone! I must say that it's a bit confusing and all, especially finding new communities. But it seems like it has lots of opportunity!

Tell us how to create communities!

I'll probably get around to making some of the communities that I miss. I don't know that I have time to moderate, so it's still up in the air.

I hope someone makes a standard issue cat community.

I just created my own personal community since I don't want to jump right into posting in others' communities without lurking for a while.

Folks are welcome to check it out: lemmy.world/c/utopianfiat

I normally lurk, but I feel more comfortable posting here than on Reddit for some reason. On reddit I would mostly just upvote or downvote posts and move on.

Honestly, after spez described this protest as "noise".... I said F- that. And, now I host lemmyonline.com.

Cheers to the movement.

Don't tell me what to do! Heheheheh

I'm just chilling and getting comfy. then I'll start contributing after I feel out the vibe here.

Okay, I'll try my best.

Currently I'm in the explore phase where I look left and right and find where I should put myself in, but yes of course after this phase end, I will try to contribute more!

I've officially exceeded my reddit post count, not saying much, but I'm trying

I was looking for a reddit alternative that was similar to how mastodon works and found lemmy. I don't like mastodon very much, but I thought the mastodon concept works much better when you have smaller communities decentralized over multiple instances. Kind of like all those bb-forums back in the day, but through a single interface/client.

So naturally, I do like Lemmy but it still kind of has the same problems I have with Mastodon. I want to go into detail in a full post at a later time, but in general it comes down to the user experience not being great. I have quite a lot of ideas for improvements

I made a community called cringeworld for fans of the old cringe subs

c/cringeworld

Well see it this way , when more people join the more is attractive to companies and they will definitely figure how to ruined it. The best example is email , it was federated but if you run your email server they dont like you.

I'll post when I have something worthwhile to post. Lemmy should go for quality over volume.

I lurked on reddit but uh I'll make an attempt to post more

100%. No one is here from my niche interest so I made a community and I'm going to post in it every day.
