It’s much better here! It’s nice and cozy, kinda like Reddit circa 15 years ago.

For your memes we have !memes@lemmy.world and if you’re a programmer of some kinds we got !programmer_humor@programming.dev to scratch that itch, if you like sciency posts mander.xyz has some excellent communities (communities=subreddits) like !science@mander.xyz, !biology@mander.xyzand !astronomy@mander.xyz and for a meme science combo there’s always the fantastic !science_memes@mander.xyz

You can also drop a shit(post) off at !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world or hang out at !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone (though you do have to post before you leave that one!)

If you want to explore the world of PC Gaming on Linux check !linux_gaming@lemmy.world or for more general Linux !linux@programming.dev and we even have a Linux meme comm at !linuxmemes@lemmy.world (we like Linux around here lmao)

For news !world@lemmy.world is excellent and for US focused news !news@lemmy.world and !usa@midwest.social

Want to ensure your privacy in this crazy world? Checkout !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

And of course, the best for last, the best comm on the Lemmy-verse, !bikinibottomtwitter@lemmy.world !!! Just make sure to buy a krabby patty!

We’re not without our cons though, biggest problem we have are probably the Tankies, but here they’re mostly on what’s known as the Tankie Triad: lemmy.ml, lemmygrad and hexbear. For the most part, grad and hex are widely defederated from (Users and content of those instances won’t be “synced” and you won’t see them) and you only have to worry about .ml, but on Lemmy you can do a personal instance wide block if you’d rather just not deal with them. .ml tends to be more subtle opting for censorship of dissent before things get crazy on their threads and allowing certain propaganda to flourish (If you wish to see documentation of it, checkout !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works ) Here on Lemmy all moderator actions are public and available for viewing on what’s known as the “modlog”

Obligatory, fuck Spez

    Disappointing to see all the negativity towards the lemmy instance I joined though, I’m not willing to make a new account so I guess it is what it is.

    It’s not without cause (If you want to see documentation, you’ll need to use this workaround link because, ironically, .ml censors you from seeing the comm: https://lemmy.world/c/meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works )

    But yea I get not wanting to move instances, but can I ask why? It seems as though your account doesn’t have any posts or comments, making moving instances very easy.

    The biggest thing you can’t move is posts and comments, but comm subscriptions, block lists, tags, saved posts etc are all easily exportable and importable to another instance

      Some apps even have this built in directly. Voyager, for instance, has a Migrate option in the settings. Also, many people see the lack of post/comment migration as a bonus. I would burn my Reddit accounts every year or two, simply to avoid any accidental build-up of PII that could be compiled to dox me. Hell, I’ve been on Lemmy for about two years now, and this account was only created a few days ago because I just recently burned my old one.
