Pro: there is a Lemmy app (Voyager) based on the amazing Apollo for Reddit app.

Cons: Like 5 people total were chatting about the Super Bowl in the most populous NFL community.

There don’t seem to be parallels to most of the communities I belonged to on Reddit.

Still going to give it a try, but my excitement waned pretty quickly.

Yeah, the mood is a bit different here. We do owls, raccoons, blahaj and Linux. Extra raccoons on weekends, though. I love this place.

I miss the drama to feed my schadenfreude I got from reading boru and the like. But besides not able to feed my bad vice, I think I can survive here.

For schadenfreude about internal drama there is !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com and !fediverselore@lemmy.ca

Is that instance defederated from .world ? The link gives me the "couldn't_find_community" error. I searched for the community via Duckduckgo and was able to see it, but was logged out. When I logged in, all the posts disappeared.

I deleted my last account on another instance and started a new one. So technically I'm not really NEW. But to answer your question, I wanna die.

Did something happen on the alien site last week?

Since then, quite a few subs are looking for alternatives. !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com lists them.

good thanks I've sucked 4 dicks already

[–] NABDad@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

You're gonna need to get those numbers up.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

Four?? But I'm literally right here

[–] FuzzyElevator64@lemmy.world -1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Still trying to figure this all out.

It sucks to prepare for a new social media home. I am still on Reddit, but I know it’s only a matter of time before some broligarch decides to take it down or do a TikTok reboot.

If you browse on PC, I found that the Alexandrite UI (https://a.lemmy.world/) made the transition easier for me. If you try it out use the drop-down at the top left to bounce between "subscribed", "local", and "all". "All" will help you find communities you like to subscribe to. Welcome and good luck.
