interface is smoother, i got immediate replies from admins on a question, plus there’s not a bunch of random bullshit all over the place
Also, fuck nazis.
Are we allowed to say things like “The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi”?
Death to America and all fascist scum!
B b b b butt have you ever tried to see the OTHER SIDE?!? They where just following orders you meanie tankbie >:( smh red fashist tankbies im shaking and pissing and farding right now
/s
Come on, they are just buddhist Charlie Chaplin fans.
Lmao, someone told me the Ukrainian soldier with the totenkopf thought it was a pirate symbol and I could not stop laughing.
Are we the baddies? Furiously shakes head no
“No, it is the users who are wrong” -Almost a literal quote from the Reddit investors call after people complained about the crypto stuff
Hell yeah.
BTW you can also link gifs like markdown images:
reddit could never
ooh; i tried linking as an image, it gave me “SyntaxError: Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0” so i figured that wasn’t what that was for
site has heavy load right now, it’s not related
To be fair, how hard is it really to create a site thats better than reddit
truly, to this day, they can’t get their fking template inheritance fixed in their django, which - if you use adblock - seriously makes the site almost unusable, somehow their parser misses closing tags when you filter the add and boom : you have layers shift all over the place
Feature not a bug?
maybe… funnel out people who use adblock as they are obviously not stupid enough to be worked with?
LOL
Also helps that the mod of r/GenZedong is also an admin ;)
What, you don’t like all the popups and notifications on Reddit trying to get you dress up your snow or gift Reddit gold or whatever the fuck crypto scam bullshit they’ve come up with now?
I’m just happy to not see ads tbh
Hello! This website has a better design than r*ddit by far.
What do we call its users? Lemmies?
Marxist-Leminists
Lemmings!
If you’re looking for other options, there were this thread and this thread a while ago. But seriously, I like “Lemmings”, even if just saying “Lemmy users” is less ambiguous.
Lemmurs! Idk, whatever it is, it is better than “reddtors”

same, i havent felt this sense of camaraderie since the old pre-social media forum days. so happy to be here.
Welcome comrade, pull up a chair.
also no spez
I’m still trying to get used to it
Don’t hesitate to ask if there’s something you don’t understand, lemmy takes a little getting used to but you should get familiar with it in a day or two.
This might not be the place to ask, but how do you find other sub
redditslemmygrads on here? I’m only subscribed to communism because it’s the default and genzedong because I know its name.we generally just call them communities or sublemmys haha
on pc you can click on communities at the top : https://lemmygrad.ml/communities to explore them, or on the right from the main page you can see active communities. By default your timeline should be set to “local” though, which lets you see every community on lemmygrad, regardless of whether you are subscribed there or not.
Since lemmy is federated, you can also click on “all” to see federated topics from, say, lemmy.ml. You can also subscribe to them, all from lemmygrad, which will then let them show up in your “subscribed” view.
Ohhh so that’s what those mysterious buttons do. Thanks!
The site has come a long way since I first signed up 2 years ago. I appreciate the hard work.
Yeah been using Lemmy for a while. Superior to Reddit in everyway. No one can ban/quarantine us, because federation.
Needs a better Android app though.
Whatever you don’t like about the Android apps, make sure it’s in the to-do lists for them 😁
other instances can easily do both of those, just the mains ones are comrades so far
This site is kinda slow though
its probably struggling because of the amount of people trying to use it so quickly, i had trouble just loading it for a little while after the announcement on the subreddit.
needs an app. I use mobile alot, it would be much better if i could access it on the go
“Russia, if your listening…” lmao
Take a look at these
tysm. Thatll make this a whole lot better
tried remmy, the ios one and when logging in says my username or my email doesnt exist. Womp Womp. Ill just have to give it a while and then come back
Are you sure you are trying to log into lemmygrad? If this app works like jerboa, then you have to check lemmygrad instance, because lemmy and lemmygrad require separate accounts iirc
Yeah I am having the same issue, even trying to register Remmel won’t take it. Oh well.
Open up an issue on the remmel github, its an open source project.
Excited to see your name pop up here. I was a fan of the quality content you frequently put out :).
Same! Huge agree on “no random bullshit” god i fucking hate the shit reddit pushes to you. Especially about Ukraine and China
Oh yeah, I had to go through a million settings to shut that shit off
I’ve been a huge advocate for a seperate forum, this is honestly great! Web1 is something I missed out on but this looks like the closest I’ll get, and I couldn’t be happier
The servers could use some work tho. I got a couple 504 gateway timeout errors and some of my upvotes take a while to actually register
yeah, there’s definitely problems, but it’s still a relatively new platform and i have hope that it’ll be continually improved
AFAIK, most Lemmy instances are running on single machines. Either dedicated servers, or virtual private servers for some smaller instances. The infrastructure is far from the level of on-demand scalability, sharding databases, and globally distributed CDNs that corporate social media platforms like Facebook, Reddit, and Twitter rely on. There will be growing pains. These servers are probably getting 10 times the load they do on an ordinary day. The volunteers who make this shit work will respond in time, and the door is open for any hackers in the community to contribute (particularly if you know PostgreSQL, Rust, or TypeScript).
