This is honestly so nice, every “clone” should have a similar interface for ppl swapping to make it easier, I love customization and different interfaces but I was only able to transition to lemmy because of its similarities to reddit, specifically the third party apps

I really do hope the fediverse takes off, its what I thought the internet would be like when I first got an email and used it as a kid, its wild to me that it’s even possible, an actual interconnected network

The worst part of browsing reddit imo, you cant block a subreddit, you downvote posts, it shows up more, no way to hide it from any feed, my subscribed feed showed me tons of subs not relevant to me that I wasn’t subbed to after they made the api changes and got rid of the other apps. It felt like they wanted me to open the app and be upset about something everyday when I was just trying to look at what I was subscribed to. (3d, animation, edm, etc. not subbed to any of the main subs, would still see them)

They also make you think lemmy is like voat or other right wing stuff when the user base here is more like reddit when it was good, far less controversial

why not, ik a lot of ppl are upset with reddit rnow and they prob think lemmy isnt ready, I thought it was bad because of old preconceptions and I never heard about it on reddit, only after I got banned from reddit did I even see that lemmy still existed, had a userbase, and was running without issues now

they got me with the propoganda forsure, it seemed complicated was actually super simple, every comment will act like its so hard to swap over or signup when once you do look it up you immediately see why its better at its core

same i was really buying a lot of pointless shit it turns out lol

The last season had terrible pacing, loving it now, concept was always cool

Definitely, just was unsure if self hosting means doing the hosting yourself or hosting for yourself, if that makes sense, if its either or thats nice

Yeah same, thought more people would be talking about that here, atleast about hosting stuff like lemmy

Thats what I was looking for, thanks!
