Hi, thx for warm welcome, had a harder moment learning multi-server architecture of Lemmy, now I'm fine. Still did not abandoned the other portal (actively trying to get banned there by being a rebel tho).
How bout You? how's Your day? :)

Glad to hear! Doing well, thanks :) If you want a casual conversation space, there is !casualconversation@lemm.ee :)
I'm missing some of my topics. Is noone interested in dating, dating advice, self improvement, psychology and this stuff?
Or am I missing something?
People are nice here. I like that. 😊👍
Idk but I just searched up this sub for you
Nice one! Maybe !relationship_advice@lemmy.world as well
I see where my mistake was. I searched in "all" not in "communities" only. Thanks a lot 🥰

So far doing really good, also while I know it is some kind of bubble I am in now, I really enjoy not seeing posts from certain subreddits popping up in my feed anymore.
Welcome!
Honestly, I need to get used to all of it, i'm also used to fast paced information and now I see more quality posts but just a lot less of it. I think it might actually be beneficial for my mental health in the long run though!
Welcome!
I still need to get used to the federated architecture but it's growing on me. I hope we can engage as much as possible so it's more attractive to be active here.
Hi! I'm here to engage 👋
On which sub did you used to hang out?
Doing good here.
Thx for these spaces, Lemmy is really enjoyable and Reddit is flushing down so fast!
Would love to get a good replacement for r/hardware. Otherwise it‘s really nice!
good replacement for r/hardware.
hardware@lemmy.world has some promise, light on conversation, but we could fix that by going there and talking :)
hardware@lemmy.ml has a lot more people in it, but the ML servers are hit or miss on community.
Hey thanks! Are you sure the first one is working? Cant seem to find it 👀
Not even sure if I saw any posts on buyfromEU. I just saw a picture somewhere with alternatives to various platforms, and it had Lemmy. I had been looking for an alternative to Reddit anyway, so thought I'd give it a shot. My first day here, I got banned from like three Reddit subs and got multiple content takedowns and warnings for up voting Luigi adjacent comments/posts. At that point I was done. Deleted my account yesterday.
I just scroll through the main All feed. Seems like a cool place so far. I'm using the Photon UI because I like how it looks on PC.
Welcome!
Thanks!

Doing a bit more mildly optimistic. Lemmy has great potential!
I got Boost for ~~Reddit~~ Lemmy back. The world is beautiful again!
Now to find communities that I like... I'm a bit lost but I'll settle soon enough.

This is my first comment, just joined during the weekend. It took about half a day to get used to the lower amount of stuff and the slower pace here. And I really like it! The quality of discourse here seems so much higher and with the lower amount of posts I find that I can take my time and not get overwhelmed. Should have joined years ago :-)

Love the responsiveness, everything feels so much faster and quicker. Feels like I lost a lot of weight :-D Really like it so far, I just hope that more people make the switch, so that more sub-lemmis? or don't know how to call them, get filled and have more life. Will try to do my part in some sub-lemmis and post stuff be active and so on. :-) Love you all!

Not only Lemmy i also joined Mastodon lol. I find this expirience to be refreshing, maybe thats because this platform has less users or maybe because its not under someones control but i feel as if i moved from big, overpopulated city to a countryside. Its like breathing fresh air, i feel myself free, and i love reading comments here, they look like real conversations between humans. Although im not from European Union but im your neighbor from Ukraine and i totally support this movement or its better to call an idea, i dunno. I replaced a lot of stuff already but thats only the first step. Also im really glad to be here.

A few unwritten rules I've found useful over the last couple of years since moving to Lemmy :)
- If you're missing a particular smaller or niche community - be the change and create it!
- If someone is challenging you in a thread in good faith, respond in the same way
- If they're just being a dick, don't waste any sort of mental energy on them - just block them, forget them and move on.
- If you're the one being a dick (and be honest, we all know when we are) walk away for a bit
- Don't be too proud to ask for guidance but do it in the right communities :) e.g. don;t ask for tech help in a community thats not about tech help.
- Be prepared to see a lot of Star Trek memes and Nicole spam.
- Bask in the warm glow of an open source, privacy respecting, non-corporately controlled environment.
Ngl on reddit id feel the need to look through ppls post history, check their credibility, downvote/report everything I disagree with, it was a bad habit, somehow wasn't what got me banned (I did it for years), haven't felt the need to do that once here, not even close to that mindframe when seeing stuff here.
Reddits algorithim was favoring controversy hard, I swear it pushed stuff that would actively raise my blood pressure at me, then give me something id like for a second just to make me not close the app. I was getting all of my dopamine out of arguing, id just open that app mad ready to argue with my notifications.
A month into lemmy and I stopped expecting arguments in my notifications, I find opening this app to be a calming experience like Reddit was for me a decade ago.
