Is there a way to hide posts that take you to another site?

I'm mildly annoyed with clicking on a thumbnail only to be suddenly taken to a page I know/care nothing about.

Fair enough. My main reason for joining was to scroll through memes and engage with fan communities I'm part of. I used to have a reddit account a long time ago, but I left, and recently tried to make an account again, only to discover what a clusterf*** things have become, which sent me running here after weird stuff started happening with my new account.

Reddit is also a link aggregator. In the case of memes it just links directly to the picture.

In your case I would just subscribe to the communities you like and ignore all the others.

Welcome to the fediverse!

Definitely search for the communities you are interested in and click subscribe. There may be several similar communities on different Lemmy instances with different rules or vibes. Also, if the subscribe button says subscribe pending, you can ignore that.

Lemmy is amazing to be a "knight of new" as it were because the cross-talk, noise, bots, etc are just not there like they are in reddit. I've found communities I never would have known about.

Keep in mind Lemmy is very actively developed. If you do end up staying with Lemmy consider tossing a few dollars to the devs. I've always found the devs courteous and approachable when I've encountered a bug.
