We gotta agree on one thing that old Reddit was peak. Like you can actually ask questions and get help. But it’s so heavily moderated now and I hate it. It shadow banned my accounts 3 times and had to create 3 accounts. And wdym that you need certain amount of karma to be able to post, like what if a new person just made account to ask for help and they can’t post cuz they’re new and don’t got enough of that bs karma. I hate that it’s not making internet a nice place.
So, I got fed and started looking for alternatives and found Lemmy. WHY DIDN’T I KNEW ABT THIS EARLIER. People here seem nicer than Reddit and no moderation stuff like Reddit and blaa blaa glazing.
So far I’m enjoying Lemmy. Also i wanted to asked but client for IOS. I tried Voyager, didn’t like the UI and that swipe feature (it’s good but just not my type). Rn using Mlem, the UI is nice but i can’t get used how the chat looks, I’m Reddit like chat. Is there any Client for IOS that got what i need?
I need to unfortunately lock your post, as it violates our rule 5 (you can check the rules in the sidebar of the community). Do not take this personal, it is just our rules. You probably should visit !newtolemmy@lemmy.ca instead and ask such questions there.
That aside, welcome to the Fediverse, pal.
I see you have not yet recieved your welcome gift!
You may redeem this beans at the hugbox/echochamber of your choice for beans of equal or greater value.
Are we already out of soapy tiddies? Well, beans it is then.
I think Voyager is the best client by far, but you’ll have to adjust to its differences. Welcome to Lemmy!
The karma thing is extremely annoying, I’ve fallen afoul of it myself multiple times. But I also get why subreddits do it: they’re trying to filter out bots and it probably reduces moderator workload a tonne. Lemmy doesn’t have the scale (a lot of subreddits are significantly bigger than Lemmy) to really make it a problem, but no doubt we’d start seeing similar tactics if communities had hundreds of thousands of active users.
What annoys me is when your post gets immediatly removed because of reddits filters, but it won’t say why! You have no idea if it’s something to do with your account, or if you’ve used a word that triggers the post to be removed.
Anyway, welcome! I’m always curious how people find out about the fediverse, how did you find out about Lemmy? :)
agreed that it keeps bots away but it also keeps new ppl away too. I just want internet to be a nice place for ppl and Reddit doesn’t support that. Ngl 10s for post were deleted automatically and it pissed me off so bad.
I’m always curious how people find out about the fediverse, how did you find out about Lemmy? :)
I just searched up
Reddit alternativesand Google AI showed me few results, among them, one wasLemmy. Then i went up on YT to look for same and ppl mentioned Lemmy there too. Then i dug up lil bit abt it and here i am.Never really understood that. Who is going to have a harder time raising karma: a bot running 24 hours a day making insipid comments agreeing with the echo chamber or a person who just has a question?
Yeah I dunno. I guess it solves a lot of low effort bots that probably generate a lot of noise?
I found this a couple days ago too. I would’ve been here since launch had I been paying attention, lol
Um, you did forget to read the rules here, did you?
No, like, let’s just say made a account and I posted in one or two communities (a rice in r/unixporn and a question regarding my pc in r/pcmasterrace) it will directly delete my post, and my account will get shadow banned, meaning I can no longer post edit my profile and do stuff like that, and have to wait until Reddit’s Support does something about it.
(Why tf do read fast and don’t understand) yeah i didn’t read the rules, my fault on that one. But im new so ill keep in mind next time.
While you don’t really have to worry about that (there’s not really any point since you can just hop instances) this post violates rules 2 and 5 of this community and you may find it removed on those grounds and may find yourself banned from certain communities or instances if you continue to not read community rules before posting. One thing that catches some people off guard is that similarly-named communities on different instances can have very different rules.
Yep agreed on reading rules thingy but you see i wanted this post to be like talking abt Reddit and still asking my question at the end. Idk how am i supposed to add “?” For my title. But even if this post gets removed, i wouldn’t mind because i know it’s not because of my karma being low or my account it new but im made the mistake of not reading rules.
Welcome! For a better experience, don’t forget to block the tankie instances.
Or aggravate them so much that they block you!
Welcome!
My favourite ios client is Thunder for lemmy.
Mlem dev here. If there’s anything in particular that bothers you, feel free to message me or post in !mlemapp@lemmy.ml; we really appreciate user feedback :)
The .ml user base is a valid blanket statement for what the asshole of the fediverse looks like.
Hi Venomous!
Helloww
I like the boost client
Hey I’m using Blorp on both ios and pc.
