no. It’s difficult to recommend it, “no it’s good trust me, there’s like none of the subs you like, and also you should go to the settings and block this list of words, also block these instances, and also do you know what a Tankie is?”
If I talk with people about Lemmy, I’ll usually replace “lemmy” with “this social media I use, kinda like Mastodon, but for Reddit instead of Twitter” as to avoid them joining lemmy.ml and thinking that that’s the entirety of Lemmy.
I’m fairly new to lemmy and have no idea what you’re talking about. Could you give a little breakdown?
A lot of people block political keywords and related communities, and most niche subs aren’t there
List of instances to block please and why ?
Unfortunately I can barely find people online that use Lemmy
just go to lemmy
there are bunch of lemmy users there
a few kbinners and other fediversers too
No. Should I ever mention enshittification or reducing exposure to “big tech” then usually tinfoil hat jokes at my expense ensue
I only saw him in concert once.
I’m still trying to figure out how to use it in the phone 😂
It takes a couple days . Trust me bro
I don’t know anyone IRL that uses the fediverse. They just use everything else and then complain it’s all owned by billionaires
My husband recently rediscovered Lenny again and a friend joined. They both find it hard to stay since it’s pretty quiet and don’t have many active niches.
Not yet, but it seems to be growing.
Nope, but I have had the thought that small-scale regional meet-ups could be fun.
On the one hand, smaller old-school forums do/did that sometimes and it can be really cool, if thinking in the spirit of the old internet.
ON THE OTHER HAND, I remember the infamous pictures from the Reddit meetup and good God, maybe not?

you can’t say that and then not link the pictures!
This is the one I was thinking of, but there are several interesting ones. I guess I’m being an asshole, maybe they’re all awesome. They certainly seem to be smiling and having fun, so I’m just really the dick here. But here’s the picture. Fuck, it is just…a lot. I don’t know. NSFW.
spoiler
well you have a point, it’s certainly weird. they are smiling, ok, but why would you do that which a lot of them are doing
I’m really torn. On the one hand, maybe I would be smiling!? I don’t know what happened! Part of me thinks, “I’ll have some of whatever they’re having!”
But then I don’t strongly feel, “THOSE are my people!” and I fear I’d be one of those faces nervously smiling(?) in the shadows at the back of the group. Also I have a strong sense of smell and I don’t know if I want to roll those dice.
Why? They are drunk and having fun.
lots of questions:
- Why are they flashing the camera
- What is the guy in the middle wearing
- When was this
- Why does only like, one guy have normal shoes
- Why is literally every guy there shirtless
I could go on.
Any chance you know where this meetup was?
I ask because I’m wondering if I might have been there but, like, before it got to…this. I used to attend weekly reddit meetups at a bar in Houston and they also held a larger meetup (maybe annually?). I went to that once and the location looked kinda like this. But I don’t recognize anyone in the picture and definitely didn’t experience anything like what’s shown…
I did make a lot of friends that way. When I moved away I tried to start something in my new city but it wasn’t big enough to catch on. I did meet a couple cool people though, and ~10 years later I regularly have one of them and her husband over to paint minis about once every other month. I guess my point is that not all reddit meetups got this weird.
I don’t know why my brain has chosen to retain this information, but this was the Baltimore meetup if I am remembering correctly.
lol, well I appreciate the confirmation it wasn’t my group of weirdos!
Yep, my dad No discussion about it, we both just happened to join
Know him, I am him

That would require me to actually know someone.
I envy you. You’ve reached what I desire.
It is not it’s all it’s cracked up to be. Trust me.
I’m in a rural area, and the few people I have to see on a daily basis are still too many.
Wait until you fall deathly ill and need someones help.
But even for reddit I only know a person in real life that uses it. I tried to convert him, he said “there are too many Linux apologists” 🤷🏻♂️
See? Tankies aren’t a problem at all. What’re yall worried about?
“apologists” lol, the implication that Linux is nefarious or a tragedy or something
I know more but they stuck with it for some reason. One friend may be on Lemmy too but I’m not giving them my username …
I know your user name now send me $1,000,000 or I’m going to tell your parents
!YMMƎ⅃ ƎƧU I !YƎH
Sorry, my mirror image got hold of the phone. He’s not real, he doesn’t count.
I don’t even know anyone that uses Reddit 🫠
I don’t even know anyone
that uses redditThats because they don’t talk about it.

A couple friends found out my reddit user name once after I made a post and sent one of them a picture from the post. A few minutes went by and I got a text “oh shit your on reddit ha ha”
I was like damn I fucked up! but then I realized I’m one of the few people that is exactly the same in real life
