Welcome to Lemmy former redditors
The revolution will be televised; behind a paywall.
Thanks. I just switched - apparently just in time!

I hope all the lemmy instances are ready for a surge of users. Let's encourage redditors to join Lemmy and learn the kinks and quirks by trial and error. Let's be kind to the newcomers.
Time to move on over here I guess.
service that owes its popularity largely to its low barrier to entry signals higher barriers to entry
cool! please do.

Just jumped the ship at the right time. The API wars were just a preview...
Holy crap good thing I just moved to this platform!
As soon as I read that I thought I'd make an account here.
Welcome! It's weird here, but it's great.
Welcome! Hope you like it here. I'm happy to see people are jumping ship despite the "it's too complex to switch to Lemmy" false narrative.
Just gotta compare it to signing up for an email. You gotta choose a provider.
I personally don't really like that analogy. With email, you can send and email to anyone who has an email address. You can only see emails you have received after creating your email account. It's simple and clear. With the fediverse, for past posts, you can see some: only if it was posted on your instance or if someone on your instance was following them when it was originally posted or has interacted with it since, meaning there is some technicality that prevents you from seeing everything you think you should be able to see.
In terms of account creation, I agree. Just pick a provider (instance), if you don't like it you can create a new account somewhere else later.
Same, fresh refugee here. I’ve tried mastodon before and I didn’t feel good with Fediverse, but only because I never really used Twitter. Surprisingly I only discover Reddit few weeks ago (to properly spend some time there… where was I all these years lol) I’m starting to like this fediverse though 😁
Honestly, same. Mastodon is fine if you like the Twitter format, but I never did. Lemmy works for me, largely cuz Reddit also worked for me, until the API debacle.

Paywall forum, what can go wrong ?
Some subreddits, like r/Watchexchange, where Redditors “buy, sell or trade watches,” according to the subreddit’s description, are centered on transactions. Huffman said the fact that users are already “transacting on Reddit kind of opens the door” for such monetization.
"Hey! How dare you exchange things with each other without giving us a cut!"

So Reddit wants to move to a pay model, which would mean they'd have banking information on record for any user that might be of interest to the federal government.
No thank you.

Recent recruit from Reddit. Finally made the jump. Love the apps like Boost, Thunder and Voyager.

A few years ago, everyone was wondering when Reddit would have its Digg moment
Goodbye Reddit, Hello Lemmy.
Hello friend.
Here, take this:
2 hours fresh out of the oven!
Yes let's put a site that consists pretty much entirely of user-created content behind a paywall, what could possibly go wrong?

Reddit is just borderline unusable because of the API thing.. The app is unusable, and Red Reader is just too bland to use.
The official Reddit app and new Reddit layout drive me crazy... The amount of suggested content and the confusing algorithm for best sort really turned it into facebook. I find myself much happier here on Lemmy. I understand the algorithm. I'm even pleased to see that posts can last more than a day at the top of the "active" page. I think it means that Lemmy encourages discussion and going back to a topic even if it is a few days old. Probably better for our collective attention span.
It's not even worth using for free
Any good Lemmy app recommendation that uses the latest material design for Android?

Imagine paying actual money for shitty memes and mean comments.
It'll probably be the porn. What seems a bit bizarre to me is presumably you'd have to pay the subscription to post there, who's going to pay to provide content for someone else to make money off?
Niche subreddits need to start archiving posts and wikis immediatly.
Too late with the API changes. There are lots of old guides that were deleted or changed in protest, and whole subs that went MIA or got banned.
Lemmy admins, hold onto your butts
Curious to see the comments about it on Reddit
Edit:
You made a great comment showing some easy ways to join Lemmy, and that's what I appreciates about you!
Watch them fuck up the implementation and suffer the worst PR disaster in recent history when they slap a paywall on r/suicidewatch.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
