Just started Lemmying today. Have lots of questions. Someone mentioned mod logs, so I went down a rabbit hole reading mod logs. The only reason I left reddit was because many mods are dicks. But reading the logs, it seems mods ban people and censor like crazy here too. Isn’t Lemmy supposed to be more free and open? How is this different from Reddit? I honestly don’t understand.

    May I suggest…

    !newtolemmy@lemmy.ca

    I’ve been saying that day 1 new here is very overwhelming. I’ve been suggesting a whole “new to Lemmy” wiki, which explains all the normal questions. Until then, I reccomend this community.

    Also…don’t call us Lemmings. Some people do it, and I’m trying to stop them. I prefer fediversians.

        I like “lemmies” but I haven’t seen it used much…if ever…perhaps I made it up.

        You unintentionally bring up a point I’ve been confused about. How do I get rid of ?scrollToComments=true when I browse? I want my browser to stay at the top when I click a topic. Instead it ALWAYS skips the content, and scrolls me to the comments. I clicked for the content! I want my page to load at the top, and I’ll scroll as I read.

        How do I change that?
