More often than not when I mention Lemmy to someone, it’s after they’ve told me about something they saw on reddit and their reply is invariably, “what the fuck is Lemmy?”
“Lemmy is reddit methadone.” Is my go-to answer.
Bragging about Lemmy is just a vessel for bragging about Linux.
I mained Lemmy before I mained Linux.
Bragging about Linux is just a vessel for bragging about your sick gaming PC.

At least he’s not using the same urinal.
His urinal is on a different instance.
I wouldnt tell anyone i use Reddit irl let alone Lemmy
I only mention Lemmy as a caution, like what to avoid, while I’m mentioning other fediverse social media…
Because I’m a woman and most of the people I know who want social media alternatives are also women, and I’m not subjecting them to this shitshow. I like them too much to bring them here.
Is there an equivalent to TwoXChromo here?
I read a similar sentiment yesterday in a thread about apparent misogyny on lemmy. As someone affected, what would you suggest be done to improve the situation?
I must say I have rarely observed the issue myself and if so the offenders generally get down voted to hell and eventually mod deleted. Though I am of course a dude and not frequenting the women centric spaces, so my perception is definitely skewed.
I never told anyone I used Reddit, but I’ve def told many about Lemmy (within my foss propaganda I regularly administer upon the unsuspecting, if need be at the urinals).
(Still won’t ever share my username, I don’t like people like that)
We’re concerned about privacy but we’re still posting on these aged accounts… I’ll start anew if you do! :)
(Still won’t ever share my username, I don’t like people like that)
someone in IRL asked me my username once, and I thought it was so weird. Of course, I didn’t tell them.
I one tolk them they can find me as the top poster on r/clopclop
I started using Reddit in 2008 (kill me). One of the of the defining traits of the site at the time was the fact everything was anonymous. It was considered taboo to expose your Reddit persona to your irl circles. Hell, I still don’t have an email associated with my Reddit account.
It’s been interesting, and a little tragic, to watch that attitude erode over the years and then see Reddit itself encourage the idea of creating a unique identity to cash in.
Lemmy is way more like the original Reddit & I’ll actually admit to using Lemmy, even though no one knows wtf I’m on about.
Yeah, trying to expose a Lemmy user’s IRL identity is a huge taboo in the community
Yeah, was on Reddit almost daily since prob around 2008 too, up till only a bit over two years ago.
The anonymity within one account(name) is great, don’t need or want more for interaction online.
It’s great for introverted social interaction.
Reddit is entirely a “normie” platform now. 6 years ago I was actually made fun of for using it, but now even my grandparents talk about it.
I’ve heard people say, “I saw X on Reddit” I don’t think it’s stigmatized.
I just say i saw it online
Someone never saw the Boston reddit meetup photo.
Ironic
Fuck reddit
For a good reason
Me in the yellow shirt: … (turning towards you suddenly in surprise without thinking) … LEMMY! … ME TOO!!! … (as I’m smiling and spraying you with urine)
Lemmy is cool, but that kind of behaviour is quite disgusting to be honest.
Wanna get federated?
Wanna get defederated?
Federate me harder daddy
Call some fiends, there are lots of urinals still free!
It’s 2025. We should be able to piss right next to each other and check each other’s cocks out.
Why is there no /c/ock
With Lemmy, there could be multiple /c/ock communities – one per instance haha
I’ll check your /c/ock once it’s up then
I’ll get my /c/ock out
Make it!
It’s a great conversation starter
Peeing standing up?
man took this post extremely serious lol
Ikr, he didn’t even mention his favorite instance (if his favorite is world, ml, or hexbear I would call him disgusting)
It’s rare to see a meme taken with a camera. This one’s gotta be a collectors item.
I’m going to add this comment to my scrap journal.
Love it. I’m in the history books!
Hi mom!
Its probably a screenshot taken from an app that adds a fade to black at the top
