Came over from Reddit as part of plan to divest from US-based products. Happy to be here, and plan to explore. Mainly lurked over on Reddit - hope to contribute more actively over here!

Yay to all the fresh lemmings. Welcome welcome! Just don’t be a dipshit please.

A facebook friend who is transgender posted a list of alternate platforms to use instead of (ironically) Facebook, Google, Insta etc. And since I had recently been perma banned from reddit for twice quoting from The Godfather (I guess their algorithm hasn’t seen it) and various djt related insults, I thought I’d give this a try.

Still looking around 😬

This is my first comment, just joined during the weekend. It took about half a day to get used to the lower amount of stuff and the slower pace here. And I really like it! The quality of discourse here seems so much higher and with the lower amount of posts I find that I can take my time and not get overwhelmed. Should have joined years ago :-)

Thanks.

I do like that the sub-lemmy is focused on Europe as a whole, the one on Reddit was labelled as EU

Great, I’ve made myself right at home. As another user said I miss the smaller communities but it can only get better from here.

i do miss my niche communities on reddit, maybe i’ll start some here,other than that lemmy is a good alternative to replace the popular feed on reddit.

I’m a little bit confused still but haven’t had the time to read through any FAQs. I don’t know how to access my account in a web browser for example (I’m using an iPhone app now).

So thank you for those links! Will have a look.

New world to explore, keep clicking and wil see where I end up!

Just arrived. It seams great.

Very nice here so far 🙂

I just joined and i’m exploring right now. It’s looking good ! Of course it will be easier in a few days but i’m honestly pleasantly surprised !

I like it so far :) Bit confusing sometimes and I’m still trying to find communities that I like and are active.

I hope that many more make the switch from reddit, but I can also see why some people might find the Initial setup confusing or anoying. I think it just takes some time to get used to Lemmy, so I hope a lot of people try it out and stay

Haven’t checked Reddit much since creating this account. Thought I might use both but Lemmy is genuinely much better. The only thing I haven’t figured out is how to visit the original instance from within voyager and how to make my feed more diverse. Currently it’s very politics heavy and I don’t wanna unsub from those communities but other stuff kinda gets burried.
