I guess communities come and go talaga. And I think this is for the better. Reddit is starting to become “too mainstream” anyway. I sound like an edgelord but it is still my genuine opinion that if a community gets too saturated, the quality also gets worse.
I came from the era of forums pa. Grew up with convergenceforums, moved to symbianize, god-forbidden 4chan, and various other boards for each small community I belong to. Until social media basically killed message boards.
This is just another transition, I hope. While I don’t benefit from 3rd party reddit apps anyway, I still don’t feel good about supporting the platform of a tyrant CEO who doesn’t even value its users, the ones who keep the community running. Fuck spez.
You might be right about most people here could be more technologically-inclined. To begin with, Lemmy’s UI is still confusing. Also I can imagine a lot of people asking “wtf is an instance”, etc. Although this might change especially it gains more traction.
I currently browse using desktop on Firefox (don’t let Chrome win the internet). Hope we will have a good mobile client soon. That being said, aRcH bTw.

That’s actually the main appeal of Lemmy for me. Kasi alam kong yung mga tech-savvy yung karamihan na magma-migrate. It feels refreshing kasi Reddit and social media are full of “outgoing/extroverted” people. Alam mo yung feeling na noong bata ka pa e internet ang refuge mo kasi yung mga normal na tao ay busy having a life. Pero ngayon baliktad na. Haha!
But seriously, yeah, parang ang labo na i-introduce ang mga non-techies sa Lemmy. I’d no sooner just ask for their permission and make an account for them than to walk them through the steps.
Lmao it’s like trying to introduce your friends/family to Linux.
How’s Xmonad treating you, btw?
I’ve used tiling WMs for 7 years now. First used i3wm so I have experience before switching to Xmonad last year. Tbh, I can’t recommend Xmonad for your first tiling window manager solely because it’s config is a pain to learn. Unless you’re already familiar with Haskell, which the config file is written on. I just switched to Xmonad because I liked the idea of dynamic tiling rather than full-on manual tiling.
Tiling WMs talaga way to go sakin kasi I really prefer working with keyboard shortcuts. Plus after using tiling wms, there’s really no way I’m going back to the disorganized that is a stacking window manager. I use a Windows virtual machine for gaming (hence why I have 2 GPUs), and I can’t be bothered to use Windows Explorer. Hahaha! But then I also use Vim as my text editor so I guess I’m “that weird guy”.
Okay since new universe, new personality na rin dapat ako. Kaso I still can’t change myself. Back in Reddit I post a lot about my relationship troubles and I thought kaya ko na tiisin. But please allow me to vent out. I have no support groups. I think my friends hate me din. Literally nowhere to dump my emotional baggage to.
I just hope things will turn out okay. However that may be. I feel really alone. Been mood tracking lately and by the love of god, mas lalo lang naexpose na I always feel down for the last 2 weeks. I’m afraid that I might lose my job if this continues on kasi ang crippling din talaga.
I hope everyone is doing great. I envy you, guys. I wish I can feel genuine happiness again.
It’s futile because I know most kids nowadays just use multiple profiles. At least one family-friendly account and a separate shitposting account.
Did you guys retain your username from Reddit?
Nagdadalawang isip ako whether I should just make a new account with a new username. I still like my username that’s why I wanna keep it. But at the same time some people I know in person already knows my Reddit username so my pseudo-anonymity is somehow “compromised”.
How about you guys, did you use your old usernames? And why?
I just don’t get why you’re suddenly racist just for wanting the casting to stick to the source material character design.
Lurker ako ng r/PHCreditcards.
Last month ko lang naappreciate yung phr4friends into making new connections na hindi sex-driven. Doesn’t mean I don’t go to phr4r though. I hope those subs also migrate. Other than that wala na rin naman akong ibang PH subs na fini-frequent.
