    Hey! I’m keeping this as it’s targeted at new users from Reddit. However, in future please find another community to post this on, because it is not related to the lemmy.world instance specifically.

      So you were going to remove this extremely important message for Lemmy growth only because you think it is targeted towards Lemmy users? It is targeted toward lemmy.world and Lemmy users thats why I putted it there, the message is more important than just being wrong community. The message is important. It is the second most upvoted post for a reason

      Instead of locking every post and giving very bad impresion to new users can you just do a read before post and delete the NEW content that is unrelated? Everyone would apreciate that

        Thanks cookiecollision.

        I’ve just discovered the app Jerboa. It’s available for Android, don’t know about Apple. Not shilling but it’s a great experience really. I was using Relay for Reddit and I feel right at home. Really have to recommend it!

        Finding it challenging to get my head around this federation concept but I have a kbin.social account also. Hopefully someone will make a good YouTube introduction to the whole affair. Happy to be here, and hats off to the Devs.

              I just don’t like using web versions of stuff. I like apps. Jerboa isn’t bad, and I imagine it’ll improve if/when more people start using it. I just started, came from Reddit when the subs went dark, but so far I like it here, and I like Jerboa.

    I don’t lurk just to lurk, I just have nothing to say most of the time. Still waiting on the niche reddit communities I was a part of to make it here, if they ever do.

      Be the change you want to see! In one week I’ve made more comments on here than the last two years on Reddit. If the communities you want don’t exist, start them up and post the type of content you’d like to see.

      I created a community based on one of my hobbies to end my lurking habit: https://lemmy.world/c/backcountry

      For now, I am just posting about one photo a day from my collection with some text that tries to drive interaction. There are 15 people in the community so I am hoping things start expanding at some point. All it costs me is a few minutes a day to choose and post a photo.

    I’ve been participating a lot more here because it feels like my contributions have more impact than they did on Reddit.

      I lurked reddit for years before I made my first comment. Some of the larger subreddits still feel so hostile I rarely posted on them. Enjoying the feel of this place though.

    I was mostly a lurker at reddit, but I’ll definitely try to be more active here, especially in this early phase of migrating away from reddit

    Was a total lurker in reddit. No accounts, nothing. Just browsing the subreddits.

    But I joined lemmy just to help the cause. And put up a good fight.

    Yeah. I’m seeing myself using it more and more.

      I’m really liking it, too. I was fairly active commenting on Reddit, was a user for over 15 years, but this feels good.

    We need accessibility first, honestly the site is kinda confusing and acts weirdly on mobile and the official app is the same, both of these two need to use simple design, the android app is focusing on material you theme but most of the people here I believe the want usability rather than asthetic, I know it’s free and hard work that I’m criticising, but we simple users need to build and make the communities better while the developers working on the site and the accessibilities, together we will break the chain of proprietary.

      It would be good if an admin pinned a message like this but temporary, like 1 month
