.world as far as I can tell, is a fairly good starting point for reddit refugees (like myself). I'm still annoyed by the lack of multis, so in order to keep my interests organized I have to have multiple accounts, but I'm otherwise fairly happy with it. Might migrate to another instance purely to get away from the .world vs .ml drama, and I'd encourage other reddit refugees to also migrate instances after becoming familiar with how lemmy works.

"Lemmy is great, you can choose whatever instance you want! But fuck you if you choose that one."

I was forced to go to Lemmy after the post-inauguration bloodbath, but Ive liked it a lot, more than Reddit in many ways. I was getting really tired of the bots, puns, Russian Propganda, novelty accounts, TROLLS, etc.

OTOH, I feel like I can speak much more freely on Lemmy. Even before I got permabanned, Reddits Free Speech mission had become non-existent.

The downside of Lemmy is that some of my favorite subs don't have an equivalent on Lemmy. For instance, the Reddit guitar subs are very active, but the few Lemmy guitar forums are nearly empty, with posts that are days, weeks, months, and even years, apart. I tried Googling "Lemmy Guitar" for ideas, and literally every link was about Motorhead.

So I welcome more quality Reddit immigrants, as long as all the Trolls stay over there.

First post on Lemmy! and oh my word… never seen such an eclectic mix of flavours of people, positions and politics in a long time.

This decentralised thing could actually be a good thing: pulls people away from bubbles and echo chambers!

Just remember to play nice :)

i said it before but lemmy hates new users

lemmy.world does not allow the use of vpn to post. vpn is basic internet hygiene. do not go to lemmy.world if you care about that, our you will not be able to post.

you can join any federated instance instead.
