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
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?”
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.
AI generated videos of presidentential candidates playing minecraft.
How often would you like to hear about Beef Stroganoff?
(I don’t know the broken arms one) I will try to learn the lemmy jokes :)
Have a great day :D nice username
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
Sorry. I felt this is open ended enough of a question? Have a great day!
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.
Less bots.
But without bots how will I know when I accidentally post a haiku and what political ideology is right!
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)
It’s pretty much the same but on Reddit it’s ok to be combative and rude with people as long as public opinion approves. Also most of the posts are bots so you aren’t actually being rude to a person there most times.
Please don’t do that here. There are way less bots here so please remember you are speaking to actual humans.
Also political discourse is mostly ok here. Same rules apply with rudeness though. On Reddit you will get quarantined or shadow banned quickly with anything politically charged.
The atmosphere here is so kind and welcoming that I want to interact kindly so much (I guess thats a great thing though :D) Have a great day :D
I got banned on Lefty Memes for asking for evidence. :)

You called countries like China “shitholes,” and were taking issue with the fact that the US Empire has been a constant source of pain and misery for the entire planet, yet the DPRK is labeled as a “terrorizing rogue state.” It isn’t because you don’t agree with the DPRK, it’s because you were being chauvanist and minimizing the fact that the DPRK is a very peaceful country internationally (since the Korean War) while the US Empire has been committing vast amounts of genocide and imperialism the world over.

Nah, I just checked your modlog when you said people can get banned “for disagreeing with North Korea.” You can do it for anyone, on the default web viewer just click the 3 dots then “XYZ Moderation History.” No stalking necessary.
I do argue about politics, sure. I don’t stalk people to do it, though. I do touch grass, and my spouse and I hug plenty, thanks for worrying though. Not a CPC agent either, though that would be cool.
I am a Statesian, and they certainly didn’t teach me how to think critically about the system I live in nor how it lies about its geopolitical enemies. That’s something that came with living and working in a brutal system gradually. I sincerely doubt you were taught by the system you live in to be genuinely critical of the system you live in, Statesian or not.
Also, don’t call me babe.
Least insufferable .worlder
They literally caught you lying to win political points, and you think they need to touch grass?
That’s 100% not true, but I wouldn’t expect honesty from you to start with
I hope you like beans
Beans?
Bean-posting is the inside joke around Lemmy. Every once in awhile, the whole place goes ape over beans.
It’s the same shit, lemmy has it’s own flavour of power hungry unhinged mods (see yepowertrippingbastards /c/yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com ). And due to multiple instances some of the vocal users are affected by tribalism (as in “my instance is better, your instance is xyz”).
Fuck you, xyz is great!
Oh an .ml, I wonder why you have it so bad. /s
Seriously, do you have to promise when you sign up that you’ll post some variation of this same tedious comment? You all do it compulsively.
It appears you are also using .ml
No kidding
Sorry, I was kinda tired when I commented, I got confused who was who, and what you both meant
So far it’s fine, after I blocked the politics communities
I’m a .ml because it was the second most popular instance when I joined, and I refuse to be bullied by other people tribalism to change to a different instance.
(Although that /s… if you tried to joke with me, then I’m sorry, I was/am too tired to understand it)
First thing, Lemmy is in need of content and likes recruiting. Hence you got 315 replies, heh.
Basically, if you aren’t a bigot, you don’t have to worry about what you say. You can be politically incorrect in any direction and not get a global/shadowban from the Fediverse.
Each instance has its own flavor and etiquette.
Thanks! Have a great day :D
So when I came here from Reddit I didn’t know what to pick, so I picked .world figuring it would be bigger or something. Over time it seems like people are saying that .ml is just horrible. I actually thought that .ml stood for militant full of right wing tankies ( don’t know the exact definition of that either). Lately someone essentially berated me for being on the worst one. Just now, I went to the little pull out on the side to see how to change it and what the options were and didn’t even see how to do that.
Bottom line, I have no clue how any of this works. I just wanted to see some interesting content, news from a different perspective, some fun memes, and some cool comments. I don’t even understand what fediverse means other than it’s kind of like borg technology, meaning that the information is spread across a bunch of servers instead of a single point of failure.
Maybe one day I’ll look into all of this, but seriously I have a life. As long as I open it and get what I want, I’m good. I almost never post because they are almost always removed for violating some rule. The last time I posted a question on a Linux forum and was getting some really good answers only to have it removed for violating a rule I didn’t even understand. LOL.
Good luck to you.
“Tankie” is just a pejorative for Marxists in the form of a strawman laden with contradictions. Marxism-Leninism is by no means right-wing, but that just goes to show you how ridiculous the strawman is. Lemmy.world is more liberal, anti-communist, so there’s lots of red scare fearmongering over there.
As a side note, if you want a broader user experience, it might be better to make an account on sopuli.xyz or something like it that doesn’t block the major leftist instances like Hexbear.net and Lemmygrad.ml, which Lemmy.world unfortunately does.
Ok, so if I don’t want politics, I kinda just wanna chat and meme, what one do you think is good?
Thanks btw have a great day
Try shopping around for different instances, the one you’re on can actually see a huge number of communities that accounts on Lemmy.world can’t see, as an example. One of the better ways to use Lemmy is to either scroll an instance you vibe with locally, or by using a broad account and browsing by subscribed communities.
Have a great day to you too!
Lemmy is majority socialist and not communist. So as most liberals are, they are destined to hate on each other because neither side can pass the ‘purity tests’ each side cooks up.
Y’all deserve each other most of the time.
All communists are at first socialists, communism is a post-socialist mode of production. Liberals on the other hand support capitalism, and do unfortunately outnumber the socialists/communists. It isn’t about “purity tests,” there are fundamental disagreements among people that cannot be reconciled.
At the most basic level, it’s still purity testing.
Not all disagreements are “purity testing.”
I guess you’re right. Maybe I should switch to fascist. I’d fit right in.
.ml is made by developers of general lemmy for testing I believe. Developers are linux using socialists as is the trend with lemmy.
Thanks, and good luck to you as well
have a great day! :D
If you use any Microsoft product, keep that to yourself…
I have a hatred towards ms… except that 20 year old laser mouse… that is the only good thing they have ever made.
Niche communities are small/sparse, so commenting and posting there will be especially appreciated.
Just don’t say anything right of center and you’ll be gucci.

walter is clearly saying something and is right of center framing, take this down immediately /s
I have looked at that for a while, please explain
Is Moe throwing Barney into the bar or something?
