  • Someone suggested that we should use this to find instances nearer to us. I did that and it has been running a lot smoother on my end apart from the occasional loading issues on subs in Lemmy.world.

    There’s definitely some getting used to for new immigrants like us from Reddit. The nature of Fediverse forces us to give up on the concept of “karma” and be ready to hop from one instance to another at any given time. The good thing is we’ll be seeing much fewer karma-farming bots, which I assume would be an even much bigger issue on Reddit now that so many of the genuine users have left. Shitty mods, rampant bots, subs going dark/NSFW. What a shitshow.

    Making comedy at the demise of others and this whole “equal rights, equal left” bullshit have been gaining traction on Reddit over the years. So many of the top subs are filled with rage content to satisfy the hate-boner of the incels. Lemmy is really a breath of fresh air. Let’s hope it stays like this long enough to restore some of my faith in humanity.


  • One of the things I like about Reddit is that you could remove whatever you’ve posted as and when you want, at least on the surface level. I’d definitely want my username to not be visible once I’ve deleted my comments. Call me paranoid but I have a habit of deleting comments that reveal too much personal info (e.g. “I’m an abc working in xyz…” or “my abc is suffering from xyz…”) every once in a while but if a particular comment has already been quoted and replied by many then deleting it but still keeping my username would mean that people can still more or less guess the original content and trace it back to me.
