    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

    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.

    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.

    That, and please stop talking about reddit so much, dear god. My feed is filled with reddit news, rather than the respective topics of each community I’m subscribed to.

      I couldn’t agree more. I understand a lot of us moved here from reddit, myself included, but I think we have to stop talking about it so much.

    I agree- but, I really wish some of these bugs were ironed out.

    If, I was not getting random errors popping up every few minutes, and tons of latency, I would be much more willing to start putting a lot more content here.

    Also, still learning how the federated communities works…

    Reddit-lurker for 9 years. Starting off with a comment event before understanding how this thing works. The sky is the limit from here on!

      You lurked for 9 years without commenting? That’s dedication - I think I broke somewhere in my 3rd year of redditing lol

        Haha, I don’t know about dedication, just never found the need to engage over there. Reddit is (was!) a source of entertainment, news and information, not conversation for me. But already from stalking a bit over here I find the conversation more positive and on point, so things might change for me

    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.

      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 think we stand a chance of bringing over the best parts of reddit while leaving behind all the negative aspects, I think a lot of people who lurked before (myself included, <4000 karma after 10 years) will be much more willing to engage here.
