It’s a good way to ”half quit” your Reddit addiction also. :)

Welcome ! Feel free if you have any questions!

Actually it's all pretty intuitive, I like the idea of national servers (joined the .nl one) but being able to see all the other servers too. I hope we can get more people to switch

Hey tradition is on your first day gotta send us nudes! Just kidding, tradition is gotta google what “tankie” means :p

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Tradition is do whatever you want and ask questions 😄

Yes you’re right, great work you’re doing promoting Lemmy in the world, bravo!

The Eglin Airforce bots and drones use that everyday in the nafo Reddit circle jerk.
Not much difference here except for too small and unimportant to have bots and authoritarian banning of non- approved opinions is fairly limited.
manufactured consent does its work already without need for more intervention.

Thanks for this post. I was always on reddit, but moved to Lemmy and trying to find my way around. This helps!

Here is my version of the "I switched to lemmy" post, it got quite some traction: https://www.reddit.com/r/BuyFromEU/s/DHHl7jxcua

Yes, I referenced it in mine!

There has been traction in that subreddit? Like specifically about lemmy/alternatives? Interesting, and very well written post Blaze!

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 hours ago

I shared a few posts on !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com about that sub recently, so I would say yes
