This is my first post, on my first day here, and it feels pretty good.
Here, have some beans.
We don’t do pay-a-social-media-ceo-to-win around here, we do beans. Practical, eatable, 100% all natural digital beans.
Some other users may be able to gift you a proper lemmy kilmister commerative gold token, but I don’t have the jpg.
EDIT: oh right, a possibly useful warning:
About a month or two ago, lemmy seems to have attracted its first mass spam bot, dming thousands of users with basically a phising email.
If you get a message from ‘Fediverse Chick’, that’s not her, someone stole her image, just block the user.
Or come discussing her at !nicole@feddit.org
The tankies have been notified. I expect you will receive a proper welcoming in the not so distant future.
Oh god, oh no. Hide yo kids, hide yo wife…
Welcome to Lemmy. Here’s your Molotov, the guillotine is just down the hall. First left.
Let’s be real, we ain’t touching grass, let alone take action.
We never said they’re real.
Yes, of course, strictly in Minecraft.
wassup
I’m loving it already! And…I’m not scrolling through ads too!!
Every time I end up on Reddit the amount of ads makes me recoil. You’re free now!
Closest thing to an ad I’ve seen here was that weird girl who was DMing everybody.
Look, fresh blood! ❤️
Just be warned, those dozens are all actually one person.
It’s me. I just enjoy talking to myself so much I made lemmy
Well, I didn’t expect us to have an existential crisis today, but here we are.
He is I and I am him
Slim with the tilted brim, what’s my motherfuckin’ name?what’s my motherfuckin’ name
Excuse us?? It’s OUR motherfuckin’ name too!
Can some people who are willing to post something other than American politics and Reddit bashing posts join lemmy soon, I’m sick of my entire feed being nothing but all these negative topics
I think Lemmy is a bit too complicated to attract the kind of light-hearted users that made Reddit shine. It’s daunting unless you have nowhere else to go.
Idk, I came here with no idea about the instance system, I joined one that was near the top of the list, realised it was entirely Tankies, and made an account on the instance this account is on. I think people are likely to have a similar experience.
Hear about Lemmy -> join one of the first instances they see -> realise how things actually work -> make an account on an instance that’s properly researched and more aligned with the person
Big things are happening in the world right now. I know that it sucks.
Showed as white on white on my UI, so here’s the picture below.
A few pointers for new joiners:
White theme? Oh god, how do you not… you know…
Hey fellow redfugees!
This seems really cool. It’s taking me a bit to get used to but honestly I’ll probably stay here.

How come theres been an influx of users recently? Did reddit shit the bed again?
I got a warning today about upvoting violence. The only thing I have upvoted in the last little while is pro-Canada stuff like elbows up. If that gets me kicked off Reddit then fuck them and fuck spez the little pig boy.
say luigi and get warned
what did luigi do to you, reddit?
Dozens of dozens of dozens of dozens of dozens… 112,744 to be inexact…
Lemmy Total Users by Day: 1,352,936 for 3/12/25.
Divided by 12, that’s 112,744 and some change… probably a couple of baker’s dozens in there…
Looks like ~53k monthly active users, I think that’s a better stat, since it doesn’t include people making new alts and abandoning their old accounts.
Hi diddly ho neighborino
Welcome to Lemmy, here are a few pointers to help you settle in
