I’ve had a great time here. The people on the various communities I’ve joined are very nice and actually constructive! I haven’t encountered any rude or sarcastic responses or one word answers.
I’ve had really cool conversations and I haven’t been told anything toxic or given any anatomically impossible suggestions at all! I really see a difference between here and Reddit.
What particularly amazed me is the lack of knock down dragouts on the Politics and News communities on Lemmy.
People bring up their points of view even if they have contrasting arguments siting historical precedents to support their side of the discussion.
I’m excited to see your experience as well?
I’m really glad to be a part of Lemm.ee and thank you very much /u/sunaurus for making this instance! :D
As a lurker from Reddit, decided to give things a shot here. The one thing that worries me is it can seem complicated at times getting my head around the federation thing.
And then the issue with some instances blacklisting one another. Hopefully it’s a temporary thing but I’d love to see the community as one rather than broken up. But otherwise I’m getting the hang of it and settling in I guess!
I think people being mostly techies here talk too much about the federation aspect of it. In essence it’s as simple as Join instance, Scroll All, Subscribe when you like something, Scroll Subscribed.
Definitely going to be growing pains, but always follow the nerds. Hehe. What sold me on Lemmy or whatever these fediverse connections are was the fact that /r/startrek moved to a Lemmy site.
