Lemmy.ca's Main Community

Hello, I'm a long time lurker from Reddit. Thought I would give this a try, I'm interested. I live in Ontario and work in healthcare IT. I'm still figuring out how Lemmy works. I used to browse Reddit by /r/all and filtered out the communities I didn't want to see.. looks like I can sort of do that by setting the filter at the top to All.

I'm very curious how June 12th is going to shake out. Will Reddit back down? Is this price anchoring? Are they going to lower the cost? There's no way I'm paying a subscription to use reddit, even if it was $1 a month lol

Howdy folks! Name's Series, and I'm from Ontario. I'm another one of those people who've been heading to Lemmy from Reddit after their rather unwelcome policies as of late. I first heard about it a few months ago, and thought the whole concept of federation was pretty cool, but didn't sign up. Clearly, that was a mistake.

This place seems pretty cool so far. I think I've still gotta get the hang of navigating, but that won't take long. Can't wait to see all the communities that'll pop up.

Hello from Ontario. Using Jerboa.

I'm not really understanding how communities work across servers. I was able to create /c/Nintendo, as well as subscribe to /c/Nintendo from lemmy.world. I can comment in either, but when I go to the one from lemmy.world from lemmy.ca I can only see my comment and none of the other comments in that thread.

Hey neighbours! West coast checking in here.

Like pretty much everyone else in this thread, I've got a nerdy background and I'm jumping ship from Reddit before spez completely implodes the site. Time to grab some poutine and enjoy the fireworks, I guess.

Hello all, I'm (yet another) new user from reddit, moving on once again. I'm currently in the Montreal area, and my interests include sewing, gardening and bending computers to my will. Hoping to become more active here than I ever was in reddit, but still working on figuring out this fediverse.

Thanks for this awesome server, it really is so chill to have a place with decent users and without the drama of lemmy.world.

Another Reddit refugee here. Just signed up and am looking around and figuring it all out.

I see there's a significant number of some of the ~~subreddits~~ communities that I frequented that don't seem to exist here yet. So, naturally, I am motivated to create some of these.

Where and how do I announce to lemmy.ca and to other servers that a new community has been created? Is there a protocol for this, and a community for such announcements?

Hello from nw pa. Enjoying the smoke

Fairly new here--- I'm trying to sub to some /c/ in .ml but I'm seeing "subscribe pending" and I wasn't seeing that when I was subscribing to communities earlier. Is this a bug or does my sub request need approval from a mod in that community?

Here from Reddit, and this is looking like a great new space. Cheers!

Is there anyway for users to hide/dismiss pinned messages? This topic keeps appearing first and the only option seems to be block you, or main. Both of which I don't want to do, I personally just do not need to see this 2 week old pinned message, I know others do though

New to lemmy as a previous redditor. I'm having a hell of a time trying to subscribe to other server's communities. For instance, if I search [email protected] on lemmy.ca, nothing is found, having the same issue with [email protected]. How do I subscribe to these communities from a lemmy.ca account? Thanks in advance for any help!

Greetings ~~shitlords~~, fellow Canadians.

It's nice to be here! I've been meaning to check this place out for a while, and suddenly there's much more activity, so now seems like a good time :)

Is there a Patreon page or something where we can send donations for lemmy.ca in particular? I'd love to be sure you have what you need to keep this all running.

Yet another long-time reddit refugee. I'm still learning how lemmy / federated networks work. I look forward to contributing to the community.

I am so pleased to find a suitable alternative to reddit. Before reddit I mostly just visited Slashdot - And I've been going back recently as well. I hope to frequent lemmy + slashdot now.

Just curious to hear from any long-time users what expectations might need to be managed for a new user to lemmy/fediverse.

Hello world. :) I keep leaving he big boys for the Federated spaces. Sadly, no one I know is doing the same, so I'm a little adrift. Maybe that will change someday. Thanks for having me though. This really does fit the way I like to use a computer better.

Hi, everyone! Evaluating Lemmy to see if it's the right place for some Reddit communities if Reddit's screen-reader accessible third party apps go away. While there are certainly some issues, it's not that far off.

So I joined the .ml instance because .can wasn't listed...but is there a reason why it's so difficult to find the communities from Lemmy.ca when I search?

Would it be easier to just make a .ca account ?
