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
deleted by creator
But only some distros should be used !
Arch
Debian
Mint
NixOSDid I miss any?
only a few hundred
I knew there’s thousands of distros, but didn’t ever think about it that hard or visualize it, that’s a lot now that I can see it!
Qubes OS
TempleOS and Miley Cyrus Linux
I’m currently running KDE Linux and I must admit I like it ! The immutable system feels weird but kinda safe. But the lack of Midnight Commander is a shame ! And I guess the not working transparency in yakuake is due to it being coded for X11.
I thought KDE was a DE, not a distro? (I’m definitely wrong and offending someone, aren’t I?)
They are launching an immutable distro, it just got released in beta. Still new stuff. But it being based on the latest and greatest of KDE, I was automatically attracted.
awesome! :D
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
Working on it lol.
Dad doesn’t want to switch to linux, because “his files” or something (libreoffice and ddg??? he uses ddg on some devices already and libreoffice is like free ms365) so if I get Frankenstein the Floor Computer running, yes, I will linux (I plan on dual booting mint/arch, but not being toxic about it)
Take advice from Detective Frank Drebin
“Like a blindman at an orgy, I was going to have to feel my way through”
“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?”
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.
Thanks, and I’ve seen Monty Python and the holy grail and flying circus! Very silly and memeable lol. Have a great day!
It sounds like you’ll fit right in … great to have you here … have fun!
thanks, you too! :D
Please do not drag the same tired jokes over from reddit (e.g. broken arms). Stick around long enough to learn Lemmy’s tired jokes.
Beans, how not to poop for 5 days, ed Sheeran, and I use arch btw? I’m sure I missed a bunch, too.
Jeans
Don’t forget moths!
And Stör!
How often would you like to hear about Beef Stroganoff?
AI generated videos of presidentential candidates playing minecraft.
You mean we could have seen these memes before?
And no subreddits as hashtags. Oh how I hated that shit so much. I hated awards too, cluttered up discussions with bullshit award speeches. It’s so much cleaner discussing here.
(I don’t know the broken arms one) I will try to learn the lemmy jokes :)
Have a great day :D nice username
It’s smaller, but more personable. It’s full of neurodivergent, queer, and tech oriented people. It has its own inside jokes—you will want to read up on beans.
Overall, I have enjoyed the experience. Sometimes, I have been surprised when people can’t detect obvious jokes or sarcasm, but then I remember how many people here are neurodivergent and try to reply with something kind and straightforward so we’re on the same page.
People tend to be very leftist compared to the rest of the internet, so it’s good to remember that the opinions here are not always representative of the world at large.
A huge chunk of Lemmy is German, and that part of the community remains a total mystery to me because I don’t speak German. They seem cool from afar.
Which communities you are able to see depends pretty heavily on which instance is your home base—I’m with DB0, and we federate with pretty much everyone who isn’t doing something detestably illegal, but LemmyWorld is much more exclusive with who they federate with, so their users don’t see the same instances that I do. Pick a home instance that fits you best because it will matter a lot as you find communities.
You will see interactions between communists and anarchists. Try to remember that you don’t have to comment on everything you might disagree with.
Welcome to the Fediverse—we’re happy to have you.
Speaking of federation, do you know if there is a site that compares federation from instances. It would be nice to make a good decision before creating an account. Like I am on lemmy.ca and have no idea what you may see that i don’t. Personally I feel like lemmy.ca is good but have no comparison point other than lemmy.world I used a little.
And for OP if you browse on mobile I tried a lot of apps and settled on “Summit”. It’s great and stable.
I’m on laptop, but thanks anyways! Have a great day :D
Thanks, have a great day! :D
I have more excuses to learn German piling up lol (I have a German friend… 2 actually, and also this platform. I wanna learn something that seems interesting to me)
Also I have diverged neurons (joke, I mean I’m nd) I’m AuDHD.
Please don’t treat too different just because I’m nd yall (I’ve had bad experiences with ableism, long story)
Anyways thanks again :D
Wait a minute… I’ve seen you before… forgot where on here though.
I get around, lol. I’ve been on Lemmy for quite a while now.
My girlfriend is also on the spectrum, so I try to handle neurodivergent misunderstandings here the same way I do with her:
cunnilingus, uh, I mean, a clearly worded rephrasing of my statement.Glad you found us, it sounds like you’ll fit in well here.
Thanks
looked this up, wtf lol
Each Lemmy instance has its own rules, and each community as well. Please read them before posting, because rule #3 for this community is:
- Not regarding using or support for Lemmy: context, see the list of support communities and tools for finding communities below
I switched from reddit awhile back. It is similar, but so far have seen a lot less hostility than reddit. I don’t have time for those types , so if they turn to insults rather than proper dialog I just block them, even if they weren’t talking to me directly. It makes it a much more pleasant experience
Hey screw you buddy,
But seriously it is much friendlier, the only thing i do differently is i tag users who bother me or who i see being and agitator.
That way i see who it is and don’t react. I also try not to block people because we all have bad days and it’s kinda like killing them with no trial.
I check their other comments to see if it is just a one off, or their overarching personality type. Majority they are dicks to everyone.
Sorry. I felt this is open ended enough of a question? Have a great day!
Don’t do shit like “lemmy etiquette”. Just follow human etiquette and be a pleasant human and everything will be fine.
Also stop worrying so much about “doing anything bad”. Sometimes you fuck up, sometimes you upset people, it’s no big deal. You’re good.
I have a really intense fear of getting in trouble and making people mad, due to stuff that’s happened at school.
I never expected a comment to be so hard to write. Have a great day, thanks.
I was heavily bullied at school, so I understand. Have fun undoing the damage others caused you :D it’s an adventure.
Thanks. It was not students bullying, but kinda similar (try asking my principal haha)
It’s acceptable and encouraged to say, “death to all healthcare insurance CEO’s” here
Death all pigs and their families and train their dogs to piss on their mass graves, then abuse the shit out of them, make that grave pissing and dog fighting other pig-dogs their only pleasure until they get too old or you get bored of beating them every day and you drown them in their own piss.
This is .ml so you can say that here, but would probably get you banned on Lemmy.world. because of federation different communities have different admin regimes so it’s polite to check. Some instances may not take kindly to the kind of boot licking reddit requires.
It’s also like 30% less misogynist and waaaaay waywayway less queerphobic here except for a couple bullshit explicitly nazi servers nobody federates with.
Don’t be too much of a sanctimonious shitlib. Please. Won’t get you banned most places but a looooot of people will block you.
Pls don’t insult pigs by comparing them to cops. Pigs are very lovely creatures
That’s fair. Sorry. Will try to do better in future.
Pigs are lovely. And adorable.
I have gotten 2 and a half (long story) wellness checks (I’m ok, don’t worry) from police, and all of them were terrible.
Except on .world. you’re not even allowed to say From the River to the Sea there.
Just know that Hexbear has the best users and anyone who says otherwise is not to be trusted.
I shall check that one out then, I guess
Be sure to check out the weekly news mega thread. Excellent source of global current events info!
And ofc there’s also the shitposts. So many shitposts.
By ratio, there are way more communists than on Reddit. There are three major groups, anarchists, Marxist-Leninists, and liberals, and each instance tends to have more of one or maybe 2 than the others. Getting a feel for instance culture goes a long way.
There are three major groups, anarchists, Marxist-Leninists, and liberals
And socialists
Marxism and anarchism are the most comprehensive umbrellas in the socialist side, and there are very few non-Marxist-Leninist Marxists on Lemmy in my experience. Don’t really know what you mean by “socialist” that isn’t already covered.
They already said that
And liberals
Liberals ≠ Socialists
It’s a joke to be fair
Afaik “Liberals” refers to the lib-right, and that conservatives misuse it to refer to the lib-left
Capitalists who think the corporations should be free to screw us over without the government stopping them
Correct me if im wrong
Liberalism is the dominant ideology of capitalism.
As cowbell said, liberalism covers any ideology that seeks to maintain capitalism, whether by letting the corporations be free to screw you over, or reinforcing capitalism with a welfare state while actual power remains with the capitalist class.
Oh you’re right, for America at least
And Stalinists/Maoists (they dont like being called that).
Maoista are fine with being called Maoists, Stalinists are not a thing
I have a feeling your username is sarcastic, but that’s because my sarcasm detector broke earlier today, need to fix it.
Because lemmy is much smaller, you tend to rub into the same users more often. So if someone comes off as abrasive, blocking them can have a notable impact on your experience.
Dogpiling is worse, and it can pay to know what instance the community you’re posting in is, as the games community on hexbear is going to be different than on world.
It’s much more “left” than reddit. Notably, while this instance, lemmy.ml, is the flagship instance run by the lead dev, the “ml” stands for marxist-leninist.
And here am I thinking .ml stands for MaraLago!
Alright thanks! Also I don’t know what marxist-leninist is, but it sounds like politics, so I’m gonna try a few more instances along with this but anyways have a great day! :D
Welcome! Lemmy is like Reddit was in its infancy.
Don’t be a jerk and you’ll be fine. :)
Hopefully easy enough (assuming no-one baits me when I’m already having a bad day)
Well here if you disagree with someone do not engage just insult their beliefs and type ‘tankie’…wait you’re on .world right?
I’m on .ml but I have seen people on a few instances (mainly .world) doing that.
I also don’t really have too much interest in politics (unless it will directly affect me) so hopefully I should be good?
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.
…yet
I’d say that elaborating what it’s for can be very helpful in identifying sometimes? Nice it’s more chill here. Have a great day! :D
No need to show off. Don’t be a snarky asshole. Be nice to people, but be real. Don’t be afraid to be weird or answer with an autistic essay. It’s okay to dissent, just don’t be a fucking asshole about it. Realize that on Reddit, that shit is all bots and Nazi trolls and meek confirming bitches afraid to be real and tell shitty people that they’re wrong and exactly why. Welcome. Prepare to have your eyes ripped open.
haha thanks!?! have a good day :D
It’s fairly strafight forward, i just try and follow these two rules.
- Don’t be a cunt
- If in doubt, refer to Rule 1.
He’s on ml… he can’t see a word from your first point
I’m on ml and I can see it just fine.
Fuck you mean?
