New Lemmy user here...What terminology should I know?

posted 2 months ago

I know the obvious things like federation and fediverse, but do we say upvote/downvote, updoot, karma? I hate to bring up the software that must not be named, but I don’t know what else to call things.

I haven’t seen lemming in like a year when reddit users (including me) were moving over and some people apparently needed a replacement for redditor.

I don’t remember ever seeing defed in place of defederate or comm in place of community, but maybe I just missed out on that.

I don’t, but I’ve seen plenty people saying it. Just like “defed”, Snooggums didn’t see it but I did.
