  • Hi all :)

    I started on Lemmy but then kbin UI caught my attention so I migrated over there. Now I’m. Back to see what Lemmy is like now

    Is there a way to link my kbin acocunt/subs to Lemmy? What’s the easiest way to do this or the closest thing to it? I have more comments over there and would like to be able to continue discussions there, or see replies, etc? But now from Lemmy

    Edit: I ended up pulling up my kbin subscriptions on 1 tab, and Lemmy search on the other, and just searched manually


  • Ori and the Blind Forest + Ori and the Will of the Wisps. So much can be said

    Zelda Ocarina of Time. I was growing up when it came out and I was so little I couldnt’ really play it yet, so I watched my big brother play it. Whenever he let me try, I woudl just run around on Epona around Hyrule Field in circles lol

    Control, just so much fun

    MMOs: Vindictus, BDO, and Lost Ark. Just with playing them for 2+ years ea, that creates a lot of fun and happy memories with the people I played with


  • One of my favorite parts about reddit is people will always be there to call out your BS, whether it be via downvotes or a comment. I always appreciated that because more times than not, they will tell them they’re wrong and explain why, sometimes even with sources. A lot of the time, they redirect people to better sources of information, like a telegram group about a custom android rom

    Of course, this isn’t true 100% of the time, not even downvoted comment is wrong - like the other person commented, it’s fair to take it with a grain of salt

    That’s why my solution for this is to research a topic EXTENSIVELY by reading tons of threads and comments about it, put them all together in my head and consider them all, and then decide on the best outcome/answer based on all the research combined. That way, I don’t just rely on 1 person’s response and hope they’re right. For most things though, them being wrong might not even make a huge negative impact

    I’ve found that Redditors also generally have our backs - they warn us about stuff to do or not to do, that companies don’t warn us about because it would otherwise profit them


  • I’ve been on the fence about wiping my account as well. It’s just hard for me - my history, wholesome interaction with users, friends made, how many people I’ve helped, I’ve written a few guides. Man it just sucks. (the largest guide I’ve written, for Vindictus, is partially outdated, but also I put in sooooooo much effort into it and I’m really proud of it. maybe I’ll download and save as a .doc or something)

    I think I just need to hear someone’s stance on it, hear their points, and be persuaded

    I also need to figure out -when- to do that if I end up doing it. I assume before the 30th, but I’m not sure if some have started doing it already, and why



  • Yeah, a lot of people to seem very open minded about Lemmy. I really hope it sticks through because I absolutely love the redditor community in general. A lot of like-minded techies, that are also in my generation (I’m a early millennial that grew up with late millennials) so a lot of interests and humor are shared :) I definitely agree with it needing to take a little getting used to, I hope more people share that mentality and give it a very fair chance


  • Yeah like I honestly had no idea! I thought it was just like screamo but with some more tune and less screamy, but a lot of it I’m really enjoying a lot!

    I haven’t looked into Tool yet, I know of it, but I’ll give it a listen! I’m a sucker for blasting Beast in Black going home on the garden state parkway lmao

    Edit: Checked out Tool, sounds good, but maybe not as “hype” as what I’m looking for? I just searched for a community “best of” playlist. Found Schism, which I remember from playing guitar hero lol




  • I do as well. At least the threads I’ve read through, most of the time reddit was pretty good about downvoting the shit out of a comment that has misinformation or the user is being a dbag (racist, sexist, unnecessarily negative, etc) which was one of my favorite things. I could always count on users to call out those types of comments. It made searching for answers and information so easy and also amusing

    Sometimes I would run across a comment that just downvoted purely for their opinion, which was one of the problems it had, but in my opinion (10+ years on reddit), it doesn’t seem nearly as often as people claim

    To answer the thread: I like it, I use Jeroba for Android but I’m a long time user of reddit boost which I think is way ahead. I’m not a fan of the website yet but I just think it’s a little confusing


  • Reddit refugee - So I think I might be considered a baby metal head, though I just started getting into this genre. I’m guessing that what I’ve been listening to is more “light metal” but I have no idea

    I had never listened to metal before and always though it was too screamy, but I let youtube music autoplay do it’s thing, and it has somehow played some songs that I genuinely really, really dig

    It started by playing me Sabaton, but I’ve somehow veered towards artists like Beast in Black - it seems more melodic?

    Some of my favorites so far are:

    • They Don’t Care About Us by Beast in Black (I know is based on Michael Jackson’s)
    • No Surrender by Beast in Black
    • Sweet True Lies by Beast in Black
    • My Dystopia by Beast in Black
    • Presence of Mind by Dynazty
    • Heartless Madness by Dynazty
    • Fly Away by GloryHammer
    • Night of the Werewolves by Unleash the Archers

    I’m not sure why, but I think I’ve seen some judgments against people who listen to these bands. Maybe they’re overrated or not the real deal or the stereotypical “starter metal bands”? Either way, as a musician (Violist in orchestras) I love how these songs have a tune to them and are melodic. I tend to veer away if it’s too monotone or screamy, but I’m open to more suggestions :)
