Hi 🙋,

you might be in search for an reddit alternative and don’t get the Lemmy thing, yet. Lemme help you out, shortly.

  1. Lemmy lets you build communities just like you are used to.
  2. You need an account to participate. I doesn’t matter on which server you register.
    1. https://feddit.org/ → German/English community
    2. https://feddit.uk/ → UK centric
    3. List of other servers
  3. Lemmy servers (instances) host communities and can be interconnected.
    1. @user@example.com can follow local or remote communities
      • !community1@example.com
      • !community2@niceplace.com
      • identified almost as easy as an e-Mail address.
  4. Following a community is called subscribing, you’ll find a subscribe button when browsing communities.
  5. Subscribing will keep you noted on new posts.
  6. Mobile clients can make the experience more fluffy
    1. Voyager
    2. Arctic (iOS)
    3. List of other clients

Our community is called !BuyFromEU@feddit.org but there are several likeminded communities out there. Make sure to watch out for them, e.g. by browsing an instance’s local communities. Also if you want to stick around we posted about What to expect (from this community) and Where to start (buying european).

Feel free to link this post, when onboarding people to this community.

      conservative-leaning communities on sh.itjust.works political

      !conservative@sh.itjust.works ? The top post of the week stands at 64 upvotes, it would never make it to All. Also UniversalMonk has been banned a week ago, and they were the most prolific poster of actual conservative takes.

      The new most actually posted the top article of the week, which is “Justin Trudeau Calls Out Trump for Starting ‘Very Dumb’ Trade War With Canada While ‘Appeasing’ ‘Lying, Murderous’ Putin”
