    So far my experience on Lemmy.world is more hostile than I was expecting. Very quick to downvote and troll here. Hoping I’ve only just had the misfortune of finding a lot of bad eggs quickly???

        Games is what I seem to be getting all the downvotes in. And some silly comment replies in an Apple thread for being a non Apple fan 😅

          Hmm, I posted in Games and I haven’t have problems so far knocks on wood.

          Well if your interest aligns with some of the communities I moderate, feel free to join in. I have a game related one that’s relatively new but mostly positive.

          Feel free to look around my profile if you’re feeling bored.

          Oh and don’t take this the wrong way, but the apple thing was maybe to be expected

            Yes I will repeat the downvoted comment again to my own detriment here: Beware the Mac simps. They are a different breed for sure …

            And thanks! I’ll definitely check out your stuff :)

              Lol as an all-in apple guy (with iphone, ipad, mac, and a die hard airdrop fan), I’m mostly amused. But not at all offended. Win11 is a disaster. So I’m perfectly happy simping for Mac. XD

                I use windows, Linux, and mac, and depending on who I’m talking to, I make sure to tell them that they should get one of the other operating systems because they’re better

      Depends on your own attitude too. If you are nice, you get treated nice. That’s my experience anyway. Maybe not in some communities like politics, I don’t follow those…

      Lemmy.world got big fast. Almost everything I see from Lemmy.world isn’t particularly good because of this. It seems to have a lot of low effort content and more hostility. It’s the instance that the laziest group of migrants joined, and it shows. A lot of people didn’t look past the instance with the highest user count. No offense to anyone who joined it, this might not be you just some of the people there are this.

          I’m on Lemmy.zip and it seems like a good place for people interested in technology and gaming. I mostly browse all, but local there is fairly good. Also, keep in mind you can block communities if you aren’t interested in them. That’s helped a lot to not get the very bad meme spam, for example. Ideally though, choose one that shares interests with you already, and preferably is local.

      Imo I’d say lemmy.world is most Reddit-like of all the Lemmy servers. Though there are always a handful to deal with on any server. Report to admins if you witness toxic, aggressive kind of behaviour.

      If you are willing to keep your mind open a bit and listen as much as speak, beehaw.org might be your pace.
