Hi! I’m in the UK and use catbox for all my images here on lemmy. I read that I’m not supposed to be able to access it but I’ve not had any issues
Just a rabbit who enjoys AI art, veganism, knitting and some other stuff. I’d like to join Starfleet one day.

Well said!
Ha ha! Thank you very much for noticing!
I think lemmy is too small at the moment to downvote in the same way people did on reddit. It’s still growing and we need people to post content to build the site and everyone’s engagement, downvotes for just disagreeing are going to discourage a whole new group of people who didn’t post on reddit because of getting drowned out in the noise. Look in all the question posts about how people are enjoying lemmy and you’ll see a bunch of them.
I’ve just been moving on and ignoring things I disagree with, no upvote is enough punishment in my eyes. Saying that I’ve been giving out upvotes to most things to encourage people to post and comment more. If something is clearly gross and offensive it’ll get a downvote and possibly a report, but that’s so rare in the communities I’m going to. If it’s a really off topic comment or whatever then yes it’s downvoted because it doesn’t belong.
If there’s something I really, really disagree with but don’t want to get into a conversation about it I’ll just block the user. That way I don’t have to see or deal with their opinions I disagree with anymore and can just move on with my life.
I guess that’s a really, really long winded way of agreeing with you lol. I’ve been a lot more liberal with the upvotes and have really changed my downvote behaviour too.
I was just about to come here and say the same thing. I just found this out today so it’s all shiny in my brain.
I had a similar arc with D2. I was on it straight from work for hours for a few years, was a bit too much to be honest.
Then it became even more cyclical and the grind felt like I was Sisyphus, constantly working towards the next thing.
Haven’t turned it on in years now and happy that way!
Just to add on to this as the mod of a young community.
Mods can still see posts (and also comments I think) when you delete them on the communities they mod. Same with removed posts. So it’s not just admins that can still see things once they’re gone from most peoples view.
I’m going to stick around on lemmy and see what happens. I’m enjoying it more than reddit already and am posting/commenting a lot more than I used to.
There’s a couple of places that I’m not sure will be replicated here any time soon that I’ll really miss, but hey whatever.
Saying that I’ve only logged out of reddit, not deleted anything yet 😬
Apart from the other ones people mentioned, you can search them on https://browse.feddit.de/. Happy lemming!
There’s a community to promote your new communities in, it’s called New Communities (funnily enough) on lemmy.world. I’m really new to this but I’ll try to link it
I’ve come here from reddit and I’m worried about the same thing lol. I’ve already caught myself doing it a bit…
This was a big thing for me too. And I agree about the UI, it feels close to reddit I guess but I’ve not had any issues finding my way around and joining a bunch of communities that interest me. I’ve also commented/posted more than I ever did on reddit already!
I wasn’t too cut up about it until 20 minutes ago when I realised I can never go back to a specific subreddit and will lose all the information there. I’ve copied some basic stuff but I’ll really miss asking a question about this fairly obscure subject then getting a detailed answer in minutes/hours. Really going to miss that 😭
The current status is that he’s really active on lemmy still and will sometimes pop in on these type of posts and answer your questions.
He did do a follow up about how to take a poop when you haven’t for three days lol. So he clearly had trouble getting started again but I think he’s well now.
