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?”
List of instances to block please and why ?
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
No. Even when I look in the mirror, I deny it.
I’m still trying to figure out how to use it in the phone 😂
It takes a couple days . Trust me bro
I only saw him in concert once.
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
Yep, my dad No discussion about it, we both just happened to join
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.
nope, I’m the only one I know irl that uses any type of the fediverse
Yep. Friend browses slrpnk.net regularly.
I thought we were all bots.
Hmm. I thought I was a paid schill.
Still trying to figure out the getting paid part.
It depends on what you’re peddling.
MAGA gets paid in lies, and progressives in disappointment. Liberals and conservatives get a weekly stock tip call from Pelosi or Tuberville, respectively. Tankies get paid in vodka and cigarettes, and libertarians in crypto.
Whoa, hey, I could be getting vodka and cigarettes? I’m switching teams.
Yeah that just makes being a tankie sound cool!
Yes actually, sadly it was just a one time talk and I never spoke to him again.
It’s easy to find other Lemmy users IRL. Show up to any Linux meet up, and roughly 5-10% seem to use Lemmy.
how do you find Linux meetups?
I don’t know anyone besides myself that even uses social media IRL.
…what? Nobody you know IRL uses Facebook, Linkedin, Insragram, Bluesky, Twitter, or That Google Thing?
How is that possible? I don’t think I could find anyone here in Finland who could say what you’re saying. Need more data about this case of yours!
I don’t even know how it’s possible myself. Everyone around here just seems like a massive Luddite. Most stores around here only barely got the ability to use tap and pay within the last 3 years. It’s like a technological black hole, despite being a 2 hour drive away from silicon valley.
The one good thing is that I have yet to encounter anywhere that makes me scan a QR code to see their menu.
No, I don’t think I know anyone else that interacts with the fediverse. there are probably a handful that I know that are even aware of it.
I joined Lemmy when the API changes happened and tried to get a couple nerdy friends to join but they didn’t bite
