It’s brought me joy in life and I’ve learned so many new things. How cool is it that we get to enjoy all of this cool stuff for free (as in cost) and free (as in freedom)?
That is all. Hope everyone has a nice day.
It’s a great place to be.
We are building something nice here. ;) It’s very welcoming. For most of my online life I’ve been just a lurker, here I feel like my presence needs to add something of value, even if small.
It is a bit of a utopia for a privacy minded Linux fan. Most social media I’ve had to find my community. Here it is THE community. It would take an effort to avoid it.
And you have a nice day too.
It’s not really free: Consider donating money to your instance in order to pay the server costs!
Good reminder. Just donated to my instance :)
Yeah man I am really loving it too!
me too!!! it seems home to genuinely intelligent people who don’t fall for propaganda (unlike Twitter)
I love lamp
I love it here too, it’s a really nice atmosphere overall and you get to know people. You’ll be happy here
Lemmy is the best! This is where I spend the most time in social media.
Just don’t try to debate politics unless you already subscribe to the prevailing groupthink. In fairness, that’s true of any social-media forum, and the corporate ones have other problems on top.
Fortunately “groupthink” on the fediverse isn’t a structural problem since nobody controls all instances and every instance has different moderation styles.
I have had and seen good political arguments on here :)
Thanks, I love you too. Jokes aside, I am also new here, mostly just browsing. I love it too, makes me feel good.
Try different sorting algorithms too (like scaled)
Also try different Fedi Software too like Peertube
If you take the time to do that you have a rabbithole to loose yourself in easilyThanks! I’ve seen that there’s a lot. Just haven’t gotten to it all yet. Peertube especially seems worthwhile, I should get the app and check it out on a break at work or something.
I feel the same way. I love 🐭 Have a nice day, too.
Same. 🥰
Hell yeah, I hope you have a nice day too! 😊
Hi… hope you all well New user here. How to change instances without creating a new account, please? I would like to explore more channels rather than this Lemmy.World one… Thanks and all the best! e.
You don’t need to switch instances to explore new communities
You can view and post in channels on other instances from your home instance without switching. For example, I’m commenting from piefed.social
Depending on your method of access (like app or webpage) often there is a way to browse without an account. Though you won’t be able to comment, vote, or save anything (like settings). So really, to sign up on a new instance, you pretty much need an account to do all this - otherwise abusers would send so much spam everywhere, this is why accounts are mandatory.
Although once you have an account on one instance, you automatically get to see content from all of them. Make sure you are looking at “All” rather than just “Local” content.
When you are ready to switch, go to account settings, scroll to the bottom and choose Export, then in the new place choose Import and it will port over all your subscriptions, block lists, etc.
