Im joining in on the reddit ditching thing, and was kinda worried at first that i wouldnt be able to like use it the way i did reddit as it feels like a whole new place, but after engaging with posts and people and actually being a part of lemmy rather than being lurk mode all the time i was pleasantly surprised with how easy it is to become a member of the community, theres a reasonable amount of subs (or whatever the other word for em is) that fit my interests, enough linux content and shitposting for my liking, and the overall random posts made by people equally fed up with Leddit. (also i admit i used reddit a little cus there was this post on the fedora sub showing how to fix a sound issue i been having after a recent update)
It reminds me of old reddit, so I’m pretty happy with it. I hope we aren’t going to completely ruin whatever the Lemmy old guard had going on, though.
As someone who used Lemmy before but made a new account during this migration, this is a very welcome thing. The biggest issue Lemmy has always had was lack of content, and lack of contributors. This burst of new users, even if a large percent don’t stay, will be really good for both
This will be the second time in my life that I’m the kind of person the old guard complains about. Usually I’m the old guard. This is exciting!
