First time I made an account I fd up the verification question (didnt even look), took me months to make an account again because I was annoyed I couldnt have that username on that instance because I did It wrong.
leaving reddit led me to some forums that are still active for niche stuff like steakunderwater, lowendtalk, etc. I kind of got used to never leaving that app for anything, didn't realise how bad the shills were and I just assumed the advice was good like it was a decade ago.
The advice these days is not great, I don't think most people active there know what they're talking about and just answer to answer.
its a solid size, on reddit there are so many rules and it feels like screaming into a void when no one comments or views your post lol, it was only good for niche stuff, but lemmys cool because niche stuff hits the front page and everyone commenting tends to be helpful or at least they are not actively trying to be negative/unhelpful.
What also bugged me was some subs would delete your post if it was about like a new game so their mods could post it, everyone was so extra about karma that theyd delete ppls posts to post them themselves lol.
thats how normal social media already is, the algorithim keeps you in a bubble at least here we decide the bubble conciously, algorithims favor controversy and rollercoasters of emotion too
Yeah I got reddit flashbacks when I joined and instantly made an account at 3 other instances lol, that post in particular with the downvotes they ignored was the main influence
If youd rather spend money, buy real debrid, copy and paste torrent link there, direct download from realdebrid servers, if its a movie/show you can watch it there
Since the options are small for stuff like eyes ahving tabs side by side in like a grid might be cleaner than going down a list, bit unnecessarily wide
I picked sparrow from vfxmed I think, goat
