I’m finally making the switch from Reddit. The Voyager app seems like a pretty seamless transition, but I’d love to hear any tips about using this platform, or what quirks distinguish it from Reddit as a whole.

Karma does not persist and there is no minimum karma or account ages to comment anywhere.

Not entirely true, Solarpunk's Pleasant Politics comm has an automod that bans and unbans based on recent karma ratios. The bot going back and forth on banning and unbanning me is the bulk of my modlog, lmao

No awards, so you have escaped the cringe "thank you, kind stranger!" comments.

In all seriousness, I would curate a bunch of pages that interest you so you have a home page relevant to your interests. There's a lot of competing communities but I just add all the big ones that are relevant.

Welcome in from the cold. We have hot cocoa and blankets.

I find browsing by new to be the best because Lemmy is quite slow.

It's better if you untick "show read posts" in your lemmy settings.

Try commenting on stuff here, fun times.

Be careful though because Lemmy is a great echo chamber 😅
