It's much better here! It’s nice and cozy, kinda like Reddit circa 15 years ago.
For your memes we have !memes@lemmy.world and if you're a programmer of some kinds we got !programmer_humor@programming.dev to scratch that itch, if you like sciency posts mander.xyz has some excellent communities (communities=subreddits) like !science@mander.xyz, !biology@mander.xyzand !astronomy@mander.xyz and for a meme science combo there's always the fantastic !science_memes@mander.xyz
You can also drop a shit(post) off at !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world or hang out at !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone (though you do have to post before you leave that one!)
If you want to explore the world of PC Gaming on Linux check !linux_gaming@lemmy.world or for more general Linux !linux@programming.dev and we even have a Linux meme comm at !linuxmemes@lemmy.world (we like Linux around here lmao)
For news !world@lemmy.world is excellent and for US focused news !news@lemmy.world and !usa@midwest.social

And of course, the best for last, the best comm on the Lemmy-verse, !bikinibottomtwitter@lemmy.world !!! Just make sure to buy a krabby patty!
We’re not without our cons though, biggest problem we have are probably the Tankies, but here they’re mostly on what's known as the Tankie Triad: lemmy.ml, lemmygrad and hexbear. For the most part, grad and hex are widely defederated from (Users and content of those instances won't be "synced" and you won't see them) and you only have to worry about .ml, but on Lemmy you can do a personal instance wide block if you’d rather just not deal with them. .ml tends to be more subtle opting for censorship of dissent before things get crazy on their threads and allowing certain propaganda to flourish (If you wish to see documentation of it, checkout !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works ) Here on Lemmy all moderator actions are public and available for viewing on what's known as the "modlog"
Obligatory, fuck Spez
As a redfugee myself, welcome to all! Just please try to avoid making lemmy more like reddit. If you miss reddit please just go back, it's still there.
Fuck that, I welcome most Redditors.
Lemmy cannot be made into Reddit, it's simply not possible because the biggest problems of Reddit was because of Reddit the corporation
Everything else was just born naturally of what happens when millions of humans interact with each other
For you the biggest annoyance of reddit was apparently the actions of reddit executives. For me it was the overabundance of meme-addled high school sophomore personalities. In that way lemmy is already enough like reddit for my taste.
Same.
I agree but the fediverse doesn't solve all issues, once it attracts mainstream attention we will have corporate advertising that subverts the system with bad advice to make sure you buy their sub-optimal products.
Reddit used to be a wealth of information for things like this and it was poisoned by those corpo-ghouls.
Obligatory fuck spez and fuck the botched knob job nazi who he kowtows too.
