First time posting after 9 solid years on Reddit. Thanks for the welcome
First time I’ve seen a comment so good that not only does it get upvotes, it has a negative number of downvotes,
Anyone know how that is even possible?
Science and fuckery
I downvoted you. No one else had any downvotes; please let me know if it registered. I don’t want vote fuckery like they have on reddit.
It registered, I see the downvote. The reason you don’t see downvotes on most comments is that most people here don’t give them out for no reason, so there just aren’t any to display.
Pretty sure the negative downvotes weren’t intentional manipulation, my best guess was some cross-federation code interacting weirdly. Though it’s fixed now anyway, you responded to a comment that was 17 days old.
Thanks for the reply
It’s been very common in my 3 weeks on Lemmy, it’s probably more common to see 100% upvotes.

Now time to do the same thing here hahaha! Reddit 2:.the quest for more money. Seriously when is that movie coming out?
It feels great, doesn’t it? ☺️
Locals only! Haole go home!
I am here now. Just signed up. Mod of /r/bicycling, /r/sanfrancisco, and a few other smaller subs. The whole thing is a mess right now, so I wanted to see if there are greener pastures here. Any tips are welcome. I literally have no idea what I’m doing.
#fediverse is nicer then reddit. Dosen’t have that superiority complex!
Thanks for the work you did on the SF sub; I got the sense it could be a handful on occasion. Nice to recognize some of the cool ex-redditors here. I modded /r/chaosmagick and a half-dozen other tiny subs. It’s pleasant to get away from the flustercuck spez has turned reddit into.
It could definitely be a handful
Bathroom’s that way.
I wasn’t thrilled at the idea of leaving Reddit after 14 years but some things cannot be avoided. My first post here on Lemmy. Thank you for the warm welcome!

Things seem to be better here anyways. Being able to interact with people across different platforms (I’m replying to your comment through Mastodon because it works and it’s cool 😎) really does make it feel like “the world of tomorrow” to me
When will we get our own persistently-broken video player? That’s super important for my quality use experience.
I’ve been here a week or two now. It’s going better than Voat did for me when I last tried to leave Reddit. That was full of alt-right crazies basically, but so far here, people have been lovely.
This seems like the first thing with enough critical mass to get going, what with reddit and twitter sulimultaneously imploding faster than a poorly constructed submersible craft. It’s not driven by political outrage so much as the old platforms making themselves unusable and forcing healthy users off their platforms.
We have communists on the other end of the spectrum here
Wandering around, RiFless, looking for something to do on the internet.
Connect for Lemmy seems like a pretty good app so far, feels decently similar to RIF.
Rest in peace RIF. I was honestly heartbroken. I know how sad that must sound, but goddamn, I used it daily for 6 years. It made my office hours and daily commute on the subway so much better.
Yeah man I used RIF as my only reddit access for 12 years. So when reddit was going hard with avatars, rewards and ads, I was immune to it. I think that’s partially why 3rd parties were cut out. I did the revanced reddit app, but it still feels gross.
I’ve been full-time on a Lemmy for nearly a month already and haven’t really missed the other place at all. But damn, seeing that goodbye message on RIF yesterday filled me with emotions that were weird and deeply confusing.
Is there a currency equivalent to Reddit gold here? What’s the point of this if I can’t say “Thanks for the gold kind stranger” ???
My goodness me. This place rocks. Like the way the internet used to be. Fuck corporate greed. Fuck ads. Fuck egocentric dictatorships. And hello to The Future.
So many people joined, which is amazing
Really hope this takes off and remains open and non-commercial.
We are all out here in the ether together brothers!
Thanks, so far Lemmy is looking like an interesting place with good vibes all round!
Honestly seeing all the corpos ruining the platforms that are what they are because millions of people contributed to them. Youtube, Reddit, Twitter, etc. give so much power to their owners yet they don’t realize it past their next dollar. I think internet should have always been a fediverse instead of what it has become.
