Now I do the same thing I’ve always done,
Lurk and never contribute any content!
I’ll try to change i swear
People actually reply to my stuff here and I don’t end uo in the unread gutter with thousands of others! Keep posting :)
EDIT: Argh, got the text placement wrong. Whatever, good enough for a low-effort meme :P
Take my upvote!
hey hai Reddrefugee here is there like a “new to lemmy ppl read this” page?
I’m wondering the same thing, I feel the same as when I joined reddit over a decade ago lol.
It depends on who you ask. I came across a thread where some of the old people complained about the inflow of normies. They enjoyed an exclusive leftist community and now it’s being mainstreamed and centrist political positions are being ‘normalized’
Reddit refugees be like “Why isn’t this Reddit and when will the devs LiStEn To ThIeR uSeRs AnD mAkE iT rEdDiT”
Seems pretty similar to Reddit to me, besides the whole decentralised nature which is a plus anyway
What are people complaining about?
If you go to the areas where people are suggesting features, it’s almost 100% “please implement my personal favorite feature from my personalized Reddit experience.”
Now, I’m going to say that wanting the features you found useful in your old social media is a perfectly reasonable desire, but it’s the Dev’s job to make sure all the feature and UI changes are self-consistent and not overload for the user. So, naturally a bunch of requests are going to have to be ignored, at least for the time being.
I’ve never contributed to open source projects before, is it open to community contributions? (as in could I go pick up a feature request and make a pull request for it?)
Yes! Many people are joining right now, you can too. Pick Lemmy itself or one of the apps! There is also Tafkars, they are trying to replicate the reddit api for Lemmy. The goal is to make 3rd party reddit apps compatible with lemmy.
Since I’m not going to download reddit official I’m using reddit while I still can to learn Lemmy lol. Trying to find my subs here.
Yeah, that’s the “fun” part. I’m mostly on Jerboa (the Android app) and for some reason the search function doesn’t pick up all the communities. So for some things I’ve had to log on desktop if I wanted to find and subscribe to a community.
https://browse.feddit.de is the best way to find new communities atm
I like https://lemmyverse.net/ to find new communities.
I was excited to see this had 1200 upvotes then it changed to 3 and now it’s just showing random numbers. I’m not even mad.
It keeps changing!
I’ve also noticed that for new submissions
