Joined up yesterday and have been pretty happy so far. Have been looking for an alternative so i could ditch reddit since the API changes and had no idea this place existed until i saw a random thread yesterday

Welcome!

If you're new, I definitely recommend checking out https://lemmyverse.net/communities for finding new communities to subscribe to, rather than just browsing "all". There are a lot of weird communities out there when you just browse "all"...

Block the weird communities if you dislike them so much.

Sub.rehab is super outdated and https://fediverser.network/ is easier and crowdsourced.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Thanks, hadn't seen that one before

Welcome! It's a great, homely place that still feels a little bit like the old internet.

In addition to the already mentioned Lemmyverse, two other great ways of finding active communities are [email protected] and [email protected]

still feels a little bit like the old internet.

Yes! I miss it.

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

The old internet never went away, not on a technical level for sure. What changed is that big corporations had dominant positions from control over user bases and then they squeezed us for profits so hard that it's no longer worth it to use them. This process seems to have accelerated since the end of the era of easy money in 2022 which is why we're seeing things pop off more than it used to.

Welcome!

There's a ton of good apps that use the API.

Welcome! We've got memes on deck at [email protected] and if you're a programmer of some kinds we got [email protected] to scratch that itch and be sure to drop a shit(post) off at [email protected] or if you want SCIENCE and memes head over to the wonderful [email protected] or if you just want regular SCIENCE mander.xyz is full of sciency comms like [email protected] and [email protected] . [email protected] is also nice this time of year, but you'll have to post before you can leave.

We're not without our cons though, biggest problem we have are probably the Tankies (Authoritarian "communists" who will overlook any wrong doings of China, Russia, NK because they think their governments are the "gold standard"), but here they're mostly on the Tankie Triad lemmy.ml, lemmygrad and hexbear. You have a .world account so you only have to worry about .ml, but on Lemmy you can do a personal instance wide block if you'd rather just not deal with them. If you want to see what they get up to from a safe distance check [email protected]

Solidarity amongst the instances! We will not be divided against each other!

feudposting is cringe

[email protected] is also nice this time of year, but you'll have to post before you can leave.

Keep in mind that subscribing to this community means that it'll take over your feed.

/j, but it's also true

In terms of sorting the "tankie triad" least bad to worst though it's definitely: ML, Grad, then HexBear. At least I sometimes have decent interactions with people from ML, can't say the same about the other 2 though.

Edit: Actually put this as a reply to the correct comment this time. :/

I deleted the other one as I replied to the wrong comment.

We have an entire instance dedicated to popular 1960s television show Star Trek (don't go there)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

There are dozens of us!

[–] [email protected] -3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

the Tankie Triad lemmy.ml, lemmygrad and hexbear.

aka where the good posts are hidden, if you want news outside of the mainstream liberal echo chamber a lemmy.ml account works well

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (3 children)

^ one of the bigger Tankies around, "good posts" aka anything pro-CCP, pro-Russia, pro-NK and nothing not

Anything otherwise is considered "liberal"/Western propaganda/"CIA something or another"

Just wait till they break out the random blog links and YT videos lmao

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

so basically a right wing propaganda/astroturf instances, no thanks had enough of that on reddit.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago

They're actually mostly anarchists/communists, so left wing
