no. It’s difficult to recommend it, “no it’s good trust me, there’s like none of the subs you like, and also you should go to the settings and block this list of words, also block these instances, and also do you know what a Tankie is?”
If I talk with people about Lemmy, I’ll usually replace “lemmy” with “this social media I use, kinda like Mastodon, but for Reddit instead of Twitter” as to avoid them joining lemmy.ml and thinking that that’s the entirety of Lemmy.
List of instances to block please and why ?
I’m fairly new to lemmy and have no idea what you’re talking about. Could you give a little breakdown?
A lot of people block political keywords and related communities, and most niche subs aren’t there
Unfortunately I can barely find people online that use Lemmy
just go to lemmy
there are bunch of lemmy users there
a few kbinners and other fediversers too
My husband recently rediscovered Lenny again and a friend joined. They both find it hard to stay since it’s pretty quiet and don’t have many active niches.
I only saw him in concert once.
I’m still trying to figure out how to use it in the phone 😂
It takes a couple days . Trust me bro
Yep, my dad No discussion about it, we both just happened to join
I have a few friends that are fed up with Microsoft and Google and other big tech. We’ve been degoogling and trying Linux together (errr, they have - I’m the grizzled Linux junkie they all reached out to for advice).
Most of them have tried all the different fediverse products and they’ve found homes here and there.
Some of them have graduated into self-hosting even. I find this bit wonderful, if it’s unfortunate how far the industry had to rot before they considered the move.
No. Should I ever mention enshittification or reducing exposure to “big tech” then usually tinfoil hat jokes at my expense ensue
nope, I’m the only one I know irl that uses any type of the fediverse
Yes actually, sadly it was just a one time talk and I never spoke to him again.
Yep. Friend browses slrpnk.net regularly.
No
No. Even when I look in the mirror, I deny it.
🎶needle in the hay🎶
Beat me to it. This was the first thing that came to my mind, too.
Me too. Uh oh.
No, I don’t think I know anyone else that interacts with the fediverse. there are probably a handful that I know that are even aware of it.
I joined Lemmy when the API changes happened and tried to get a couple nerdy friends to join but they didn’t bite
it’s been 2 days and i think i found like 2 “Yes” responses in the entire thread. one was a techy friend, one was vague, and any other hits were just family/friends.
it’d be cool if Fediverse got some more recognition but it’s definitely way too niche for the normies right now
