Hi everyone. I’m kinda new to Lemmy and is not 100% sure how this works. Is it nearly 1:1 to reddit? What kinda changes am I expecting?

    Hi am one of the ppl that arrived from reddit yesterday. here’s what i found (note used to be an old.reddit.com + RES desktop user)

    -videos have to be opened in a separate tab, the tumbnail bugs out for me.

    -middle click is your friend

    -if using “sort: all” dont bother scrolling the page will scroll automatically, i think we are waiting for this to get fixed as it makes it hard to browse with all the new posts coming in. I’ve just been pushing posts to new tabs as i see them.

    -when in “sort: all” you can see posts from other domains such as lemm.ee or lemmy.world, if you want to subscribe to a community (subreddit localised to that domain) press the green link to be brought to the community while staying in your domain.

    -sometimes you might find yourself in a separate domain than the one you have an account on and can’t subscribe. There’s a way to access from your domain, here’s how: ex. from the gaming subreddit at lemmy.world and you want to access it from lemm.ee you would change the url like so: lemmy.world/c/gaming would become lemm.ee/c/gaming@lemmy.world . Now i dont know how you would do this when in a post.

    -ive been using a tampermonkey script to make it look closer to RES reddit found here: https://lemm.ee/c/plugins@sh.itjust.works

        As the other person said, and I’m sure you’ve tested by now, it’s a super simple way to open new tabs. I love that they open in the background. I use it like a “open these tabs to save for later” type thing.
