I’ve been feeling weird about leaving Reddit; mainly because it’s been my main source of entertainment, news, and community for over 10 years but this is a really good point about any ‘social’ network. Even the link aggregator sites like Reddit. Over the past couple of years, I feel like my engagement has dropped significantly because it hasn’t been FUN to engage with the communities I was a part of the same way it was when I first joined. I’m hoping to recapture that a bit here specifically on Lemmy and in the fediverse at large.

There is an energy here that I haven't really felt from reddit as a whole in years...

Certain (smaller) subs could still get that same feeling sometimes, but so far I am very much enjoying lemmy. Yeah there's a bit of a learning curve to figuring things out but I think people will catch on fast!

Exactly! Reddit turned in a whine site.

I think you hit the nail on the head for me. I’m excited to see what comes from this community far more than Reddit.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
