Hello! I’m Alex a.k.a. Ultra. I use NixOS (btw) and am a Reddit refugee.

I’m Gen Z, btw.

Even if I don’t mention this in the replies, thanks for taking the time to reply to my help posts, even if your solution isn’t quite right.

Direct message

They said that they’re keeping old reddit.

But they also told Christian Selig that the API won’t be changing anytime soon…

Thanks, but this is only for a community. I’d like to block every community on Lemmygrad

  • I don’t necessarily have a problem with the users, but with the (far left or tankie) posts in the instance
  • I’ve already done that for some Lemmygrad communities, I guess I’ll have to do that for all of them.
  • The problem with creating an instance is that Jerboa only works with preset instances (I tried logging into my lemmy.one account, but it said that it isn’t an instance).

But thanks for replying anyways!

IMO the better thing to do would be to convert it into a Lemmy client. I heard someone is making a Lemmy API that works like reddit’s, so maybe it could use that when it’s ready?

Either way, I’m starting to work on my own Lemmy app written in React Native. If you have a name better than “ymmel” (reverse “lemmy”), please tell me.

How?

EDIT: now it works. Weird. I used to get a message saying “lemmy.one isn’t an instance”

That’s the most random thing lol, but I like it. Someone already suggested a better name, though

  1. Same
  2. Someone suggested a different name (“hymmel”), and this one doesn’t sound like yaml

I’m Gen Z and never got to experience the old internet, but I have seen old posts on stuff like Google Groups and mail lists. The fediverse has a similar vibe, and I like it

I’m in a similar situation - I used to semi-lurk reddit, making maybe 2 comments per week and a post a month. The thing is, I really had to think about what I posted there, because with one opinion that the hivemind disagrees with I could lose most of my karma. Also, it would take a long time to get replies to posts that weren’t memes, if I even got any.

Bit here? No karma system, and way more active community. I made a post yesterday, before I went to sleep, and when I woke up it had around 5 comments. That post was in a niche community
