Hi everyone! I’m a lifelong Iowan in my mid-20s. I work in small museums in the southeast part of the state as a consultant and contractor. So many of these small institutions have part-time volunteers and no professionally trained staff, so I offer guidance with collection management, exhibit curation, event planning, and digital marketing. I like to tell history through material culture and through a philosophy called post-humanism, which looks at the world around us in terms beyond the human perspective.

Outside of that, I am really into head-fi and am mostly listening to music in my free time. Additionally, I like to tinker with Arch Linux and FreeBSD installs and have been teaching myself how to code in Haskell. I’m still rather new to federated social media, but have really been enjoying my transition thus far.

Yo duders, Reddit refugee here like many of you. I reside in northeast Indiana. My hobbies include video games mainly on PC, anime, movies, hiking, and traveling. I'm enjoying being here.

[-] Doug@midwest.social 2 points 2 years ago

I'm pretty much going to echo a lot of the same sentiments. I expect my Reddit usage will plummet when the third party apps are killed so I've gotta waste time somewhere.

I'm a long time, old school nerd. Tabletop games, video games, fantasy books, enough programming know how to make lives difficult, all that kinda thing.

Been rereading some old Spider-Man comics on Marvel unlimited lately. I've probably got a bit of a Tears of the Kingdom addiction going on as well. There's plenty more about me and I'm hoping this will be a fun, new internet home for the immediate future.

Hello, I'm Brian Lawson and live in Lebanon, IN (just a little NW of Indy). I'm the owner of the hoosier.social Mastodon instance and am expanding my reach a little further into the Fediverse.

[-] Ascrod@midwest.social 1 points 2 years ago

Indiana/Ohio native here. Interests include tech, cooking, running, and nature. Been on the Fediverse for a while and figured I'd give Lemmy a try.

[-] dragna@midwest.social 1 points 2 years ago

Former midwesterner, moved out of Columbus, OH with my wife to be closer to her family in PA, so midwest adjacent. Also 100% new to the fediverse (looked it up and explored it just this morning), and loving every corner I've visited so far.

I'm a tech/gaming enthusiast, who works from home, and also happens to live on a 170+ year old 12(ish) acre farmette just outside of Gettysburg, so I will be hunting down the garden and farming posts on here o.o

[-] Bigcat@midwest.social 1 points 2 years ago

Reddit emigrant here, exploring the site (or should I say federated sites?) Seems promising though! As for myself, residing in Columbus, OH. Hope to interact with some other cool midwesterners.

[-] mibzman@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Howdy! I'm from NE Ohio,I've to see more midwesterners on fedi!

[-] wicked82@midwest.social 1 points 2 years ago

Hey everyone, started exploring Lemmy the other week and really jumped in after the Apollo news broke.

I’m gamer/podcaster/dad/wannabe bourbon enthusiast from Michigan.

I have a tech role in logistics and am just looking for a chill community to be a part of.

Currently consumed with exploring Hyrule.

[-] Infynis@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago

What part of Michigan? I'm an enthusiast for spirits of all kinds, and I'd love more friends to share the hobby with. I actually made a custom cocktail inspired by Zelda back on TotK launch day

What up doe!

From Detroit - waiting for some good communities for Techno, Bicycle Touring, Backpacking, and SynthDIY. Excited to start this journey on a new platform which feels very good to be on so far. Hoping for a bright future :) :)

[-] notosans@midwest.social 1 points 2 years ago

I am from Bloomington Indiana and I am originally from St. Louis. I do a lot of natural language processing for my day job and as part of my PhD. I am into homelabbing, coffee roasting and gardening. I'm hoping to link up with some other Blooomingtonians on here if they're around.

[-] FrancesTheMute@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago

Hello all! Reddit user of ten years. Struggled during the blackout. Turns out I might have a problem, a Reddit addiction. Withdrawals weren’t too bad… who am I kidding, they were awful! Thrilled to find my fix here. Excited to join a developing platform to replace Reddit. I will confess I was mostly a lurker on Reddit. Tend to not engage much in social media, but I am going to try and be different on this platform. I would like to see this platform thrive and recognize engagement will be key. By the way, I downloaded the iOS lemmy app, Mlem through test flight. Like it so far, but can tell it is a work in progress. Excited to participate in its evolution.

A bit about myself, work in healthcare, just bought a new house. Have far too many pets in the house (all rescues). A progressive living in the more conservative parts of the Midwest. Isolating and scary at times, but will always hold true to my values.

I have deleted my Reddit account. RIP Reddit, welcome Lemmy!

[-] Chicago@midwest.social 1 points 2 years ago

Chicago resident, pizza enthusiast, web3 maximalist, excited to break free of Reddit 🤙

[-] m3t00@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago

hi from Peoria, IL. Been here about 6 months and just found the docs, lol. Thanks to all you admin types driving. Good times.

Lemmy docs

Hello everyone. 26/m living in Peoria IL metro, working in a small evangelical church leading music and trying to not be outed as a leftist and an exvangelical. Interested in movies, Lego, urbanism, fantasy football, and craft beer with a new budding hobby of cocktails. Grew up in Champaign though, so by default I’m into college sports as well.

[-] musicalcactus@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago

Another MN reddit transplant, loving it here so far. Been following the news sources of the evolving dumpster fire and am overjoyed at the solidarity of the community.

I have many hobbies I cycle through like a merry-go-round. I'm a sucker for stringed instruments, Minecraft, neurodivergence, and lately a lot of plants and Zelda.

Peace and love y'all! I'm excited to be here.
