Comment on How is Lemmy better than Reddit?
JackbyDev@programming.dev 4 months agoI ripped the bandage off a few months before they shut down the API. I had to quit RIF cold turkey. I wanted it to be “my choice” if that makes sense. The official Reddit app just didn’t do it for me.
I hope you enjoy your time here! I’ve liked it. My biggest piece of advice is to be the content you want to see. There is a lot less content here than Reddit. That’s good and bad. Good because you get bored a little easier and move on lol, but bad because it can get a little boring. It’s gotten a lot better though!
The other thing, and this is just a pet peeve lol, is that the proper way to link to communities is like !community@instance. A lot of people try to do c/community which doesn’t work. If you do !community alone it will link to the local community which could totally not exist or have different rules etc.
example: !programming@programming.dev

Totally agree with this. BUT just know that for some Lemmy’s, they get suspicious pretty quick. My account is less than a month old. I found a vast whole of the kind of content I want to see, so I started posting a lot.
And pretty much every day I get called variations of being a troll, spammer, trumpet and/or russian asset.
Doesn’t keep me from posting, and I think it’s hilarious. But just a heads up to anyone reading. Tho this thread is old so maybe no one will. But I found this thread just now, so… lol
