I don’t disagree with you but, as someone who has recently jumped ship from Reddit, can you point to a glossary of terms to help us get our jargon down?
Honestly it’s mainly just the sublemmy community thing, from what I’ve seen! Most other terms are the same, upvotes are still upvotes, subscribing is still subscribing, crossposting is still crossposting etc. Even cake day is the same! Shitposting is now beanposting, although we’ll see if that one sticks.
Lemmy users are Lemmings. I’m not 100% sure what Kbin users have decided on but the one I’ve seen most in use is Kbinauts.
I keep seeing people refer to a “front page” which isn’t really a thing that exists since it’s completely different depending on which instance you’re on, which feed you’re looking at and how you sort it, but I have no idea what that was on Reddit either since I always stuck to my subscriptions.
I’ve also seen a couple people in support threads being confused between “instance” (the site an account or community is hosted on ie vlemmy.net) and “community”, but that’s not been too widespread.

“front page” is just your “subscribed” feed here.
The other difference here is that we don’t have an “/r/all” (meaning everything on reddit), there is the “local” feed, that would be, “all” communities of the specific instance.
And there is an “All” feed, but it isn’t all the communities on every instance, there you only see all the communities any user of your instance is subscribed to.
Yeah I understand how the feeds work but I keep seeing people reference seeing things on “the front page of lemmy.world” or challenging themselves to “make it to the Lemmy front page” and I’m just like…this makes no sense! 😄

Edit: Formatting hard.

I don’t mean to RTFM you, but the documentation is pretty good: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/index.html
Actually really useful. Thank you!
You’re welcome! I thought the same thing when I first saw it.
