I've been interested in the Fediverse for a long time but didn't have any reason to jump into it because the applications I was aware of did not appeal to me. If I don't use Twitter and Instagram, why would I be interested in Mastodon and Pixelfed? This all changed when Reddit announced their API change. Reddit is the only social media site I use, so Lemmy seems like the perfect reason to jump in.
Yeah big same here, Reddit is my go-to mindless scrolling app so I'm happy I have an open alternative
Agreeing with this one.
Except I made a Mastodon account to pad its numbers to make Elon feel bad and used the Mastodon account to follow Lemmy (and just used the site sans account). Once the API changes were announced, all in to make reddit feel bad with larger numbers over here.
Phone is grapheneos, use Linux, all FOSS; why did I take so long to do this? Either this or quit all social media.
