I’m new as in this is my first day using lemmy. I don’t know anything about lemmy etiquette and don’t want to do anything bad
thanks and have an amazing day! also plz be kind :D
If you haven’t already then you need to switch to Linux
Don’t forget GrapheneOS and Jellyfin! Anything else you can think of? It’ll be a lot easier if they can convert everything in one go.
I plan on using mint for a while to adjust, and as a daily, and trying to install arch for the 546782376th time (I haven’t tried to install yet) when I’m bored
Mint’s good for my purposes
Take advice from Detective Frank Drebin

Nice beaver.
I had it stuffed
Fair, I just like to check these things so I don’t offend anyone or do anything mean. Thanks. Have a great day!
I was making light of your question … partly to have a bit of fun … and partly to show that the community enjoys sharing these silly little bits of movie quotes that act like memes. The one I was using is from the movie “The Naked Gun” (the original film from 1988 with Leslie Nielson)
A lot of the meme communities enjoy old slapstick movie content as there is a lot of memeable content there … films like ‘The Naked Gun’ series, Hot Shots, any of the Mel Brooks films and Monty Python.
Don’t be afraid to test your boundaries, comment as you like but with an open mind and kind heart … people will let you know if you’ve said or implied anything negative or positive. Don’t be discouraged if you get no response either … it’s not a popularity contest. The longer you stay, the more you comment, the more you get to know people and the more they get to know you and eventually you become a regular part of the community.
Welcome to Lemmy and welcome to the fediverse.
“Like a midget at a urinal, I was going to have to keep on my toes”
“I’m sure we can handle this situation maturely, just like the responsible adults that we are. Isn’t that right, Mr. Poopy Pants?”
Welcome! Lemmy is like Reddit was in its infancy.
Don’t be a jerk and you’ll be fine. :)
Have a backup instance in mind, if the culture of your current one doesn’t work out. Especially yours. People are not at liberty to express what’s what with this instance on this instance.
Do not be afraid to block people, because they will keep showing up, and some of them are psychic vampires whom their instances will never punish. Universal Monk has a sockpuppet on every instance and will probably respond rudely to slash angrily report this comment for pointing out they’re a block-evading ‘hmm curious’ spambot.
As on reddit, beware the cult of civility. Some communities (subs) will viciously punish ‘fuck off’ but not any behavior that frankly deserves a vulgar dismissal. Read the sidebar. Don’t be afraid to search for alternative communities if the sole moderator is intolerable. See also the Ye Power Trippin Bastards community on dbzer0.
thanks
to be clear: block universal monk, have backup instances (I have a sh.it and .zip and potentially a few more???)
anyways have a great day
to be clear: block universal monk
For sure. I’m terrible because I post so many articles promoting third parties, socialism, and anarchy!
after a quick check on your history, you post too much news and other stuff that I don’t like. I have no clue how true either of your claims are, but I don’t like news. It’s stressful, annoying, confusing, etc.
but I don’t like news. It’s stressful, annoying, confusing, etc.
So you don’t like news, and that made you decide to tell people to block me?! Ok… Um, what about the other people who post a lot more news than me? Most of the news I post is pro-socialist news. You can just admit you don’t like socialism. But to tell people to block me because of it, is hilarious.
So now I have advice for newcomers: Guys, ya’ll should block Camille_Jamal. He doesn’t like news about socialism.
See how that works?
Bro fair enough I’ll unblock on main sorry
My excuse:
When im new to a platform I tend to believe the first thing I see and im used to back on reddit (ew) when you could tell what a user is like better from posts than comments if they post often. I was also tired and thus my judgement was impaired. Sorry bro. Took a minute to actually use my brain today, and you actually dont seem as spammy as other guy was saying (at least this instance no energy to see other)
Ok so neither of y’all seem spammy sorry also I learned how to community block instead of user block for shit I don’t like (like politics I don’t care what flavour just don’t politics at me)
That was a weird and silly mishap sorry!
Honestly I never should have commented that and didn’t mean “hey guys block this guy” at the time I really just wanted to say “just so you know im blocking” cuz my dumbass didnt realize you can block communities (look I don’t care what flavour of politics just don’t include me with it) im honestly tired and confused now just like I was 2ish months ago but thats hardly an excuse if at all and really I just don’t want conflict right now. It’s been a long day.
Uhh have good day ig idk
Hey, friend, no worries. What you’ll find out here is that Lemmy is much much more extreme in their viewpoints. Lemmy seems to attract people who are inclined to be more obsessive on certain things, than the general public. So on here, you’ll notice that when someone gets angry at someone, they do NOT let it drop.
Many will follow ya around and just talk shit about you forever if you disagreed with them in the past.
So my fanclub likes to jump in a lot of newbie posts and say, “block UniversalMonk first!!” Not because it’s good advice, but because they don’t like me. There are more posts about me, than posts by me. lolololol
But if ya look at my post history, I pretty much just stick to the little communities I manage. And you won’t find anything controversial. Just some extreme reactions to it. Ask the angry people to be specific about why they are mad at me, and they never have an answer except that they bizarrely think I am pro-Trump, even tho I didn’t vote for him and the vast majority of my articles I post are anti-Trump. LMAO
To be honest, I’m like you and not that into politics. One of the more disappointing things about Lemmy for me is how many people revert to politics every single thread and post. It’s annoying. I think that Lemmy having being so obsessed about political talk will actually doom it. Lemmy is never gonna be popular.
Too much politics. Too much anger. Too much obsessive stalker-types.
I try to do my part to help Lemmy grow, but even when I post something non-political, like about science, or education or something, people like to jump in and say variations of “Fuck you! You ruined the US!” lolol As if the 100 people who post regularly on Lemmy can change anything about society. lololol
I still love the idea of non-centralized stuff, the federation, etc. But the crowd on Lemmy is to obsessive-compulsive to allow it to grow.
You and me are actually more alike, than we are different. Let me know how things turn out for you and if you can find enough non-political content to keep ya here.
Ive blocked all the politics and it’s much better than Reddit thanks bro hope we can be better online friends in the future
A major difference I noticed with Lemmy from my time on Reddit is communities aren’t quite as rabid about strict adherence to their topic or gimmick. r/whatisthisthing banned me for seven days once for elaborating what an E6B flight computer is for. Because “This community is for IDENTIFYING the thing, not DISCUSSING the thing!” Not…so much of that around here.
