I haven’t seen Reddit give so much attention to the Fediverse in a long time. Maybe we can help them and answer some questions.

Frankly I don’t want Redditors here
If there’s a single group of people I hate it’s Redditors. Just fuck them (haha zecks, my wife left me smh, I want this guys wife)
In an alternate universe I would be like a ted kaczynski of anti reddit sending hot packages to the authors of most painful comments
how did you find Lemmy? did you find out through reddit?
ive been here over a year now and I sure did. haven’t used reddit since.
if you didn’t come here from reddit, I’d be curious to hear where you did come from before making a Lemmy account.
how did you find Lemmy?
via Mastodon. I still mostly use Mastodon (but I follow hashtags so its a little like an un-curated RSS feed in that respect. I’ve been on Mastodon for a couple years. I also use a couple other Fediverse projects eg Freindica, Bookwyrm and GotoSocial
did you find out through reddit?
no.
Im sorry to inform you that:
-
Lemmy is a reddit alternative
-
What you did right now was very redditor esque
I would help, but I honestly don’t have the password anymore. I don’t think I signed up with an email, but if I did it was a dummy one. I wish I could help.
Edit: Also, I didn’t know about this bridge for Mastodon:
if you want your Mastodon posts to also show on Bluesky then use this bridge https://fed.brid.gy/ you only need to follow the account @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy (
note: is this a typo?It is not a typo. It will follow you back and make sure to accept the follow) and it will automatically bridge you
the bridge is pretty nice, I would recommend everyone on compatible platforms to use it (Bluesky, and probably any AP microblogging platform, but I’ve only tried it with Mastodon)
Do you know how I connect Pixelfed to Mastodon too? Or is it automatic and I just do search maybe?
yea it should just be a matter of searching your username, but you need to be logged in to search remote instances (they don’t want anonymous requests spamming the network)
what’s your Pixelfed username? I can pull it up if you want
Would if I could but I deleted my account and Reddit has been blocking my connection for months anyway.
old.reddit.com always works for me, even for posts or communities which they force you to log in and/or use the app to view.
@spaduf@slrpnk.net , could you maybe edit your comment to something like
"Lemmy has 42k monthly active users
- https://discuss.online/ if you want a server located in the USA (content is still accessible from any server, the most difference latency)
- https://sopuli.xyz/ if you want a server located in the EU
- https://vger.app/ if you want an app
Feel free if you have any questions"
join-lemmy isn’t the best for user onboarding: https://lemmy.world/post/24220536?scrollToComments=true
Hey, question about Voyager, I’m using it, and if I’m on my main feed and hit the back button, it opens a list of subs, and there seems to be nothing I can do to get back to the feed without refreshing it. It’s veru frustrating because I keep losing track of the post I was just about to tap on. Do you know anything about this?
If I’m understanding you correctly, you are talking about how the Home feed, All feed, etc does not save your scroll position when you leave them. When you go to the top level of the app.
I think this is because the app always refreshes the current state/order of the feed when you return to it. I looked around the settings and I don’t see an option for this.
This sounds like a feature request. It seems like a grace period would do the trick.
I’d make an issue on GitHub or maybe a post on https://lemmy.world/c/voyagerapp about it.
One thought tho, have you tried swipe gestures to go back and forth instead of your back button? It’s difficult to accidentally go back twice when swiping. In case you’ve never done it, try swiping from outside the screen in.
I know it’s not for everyone. And apologies if I’m over explaining swiping.
also what’s the best alternative for Mastodon? a lot of people there already tried Mastodon and didn’t like it due to UX/UI issues
I would be good to list Mastodon as well as an alternative, and also listing Mbin might be good too? but then maybe you’re putting too many choices lol
Honestly I think the answer is BlueSky. For all the problems that people have with it, it’s going to be much more successful in getting people off the Nazi platforms. What’s more X->BlueSky->Mastodon seems easier than X->Mastodon for most people.
Ah, a worthy reason to dust off the ol account
Hey, can you go to /r/Cleveland, and convince them all to move to /c/Cleveland?
And /r/ClevelandGuardians to move to !clevelandguardians@fanaticus.social?
Just threw in a link in both subs for anybody interested in getting off Reddit:)
