Hello! I'm also from Reddit, for like 11yrs. I usually don't post anything online ever, but I am going to try to contribute here sometimes. :) My hobbies/interests are anything Pokémon, arts and crafts, reading, TV, gaming, cats, cooking, plants, Critical Role and paranormal/true crime podcasts. I have 2 doofy cats, Loki and Xandis. Currently, I am super duper excited for Baldur's Gate 3! Also excited to make hopefully the best potato salad I've ever made tomorrow.

Hello there! I'm a fellow Reddit refugee that quit after 10 years when Apollo shut down. I've got two very silly pups named Pippin and Sunny, a tortoise named Bowser, and a gerbil named Oreo.

I've been gaming since the 80's and haven't slowed down a bit. I'm currently playing WoW, Diablo 4, Tears of the Kingdom and Final Fantasy 16. I'd have to say that my favorite games of all time are Portal 1 and 2. I'm a big nerd and I love Legos, movies, books, art and ice cold martinis.

I'm very happy to be here :)

Hey everyone, velvet here :) I am a developer with a revolving door of interests and hobbies. Lately I've been interested in true crime/horror, the Sims, aerial sports, and hanging out with my cat and two aussie pups! This is my first time joining the Fediverse after 12 years on Reddit, nice to meet you all!

Wow it's crazy having an intro thread - it's like a forum from 25 years ago! I love Lemmy feeling quite small and welcoming like this, awesome.

I am in the UK, have followed through various platforms since the 90s. I am old and sensible as my grown up screen name suggests.

I write and play a lot of table top roleplaying games (TTRPGs)!

Hello all! Was a reddit lurker for most of 13 years. Now I'm a new dad trying to find time for my hobbies (video games, drawing badly, and TTRPGs). I just moved back to the US after living in China for almost 9 years as a teacher.

Hi! I'm both a Reddfugee and genuinely curious about the fediverse / Lemmy.

But enough about me, I wanted to introduce my pet boat....uh.... Boaty McBoatface. She's pretty cool, especially since she's floating in some water in some location.

I’m new here and just wanted to try to post something to see if I understand the process. (I’m an old man who thinks and moves slowly)

Hey. I'm a Reddit refugee, long time internet lurker, and general weirdo. This is my absolute first Lemmy comment, so um... hi. Here's my dog as toll.

Hello! I'm 58 from Missouri and I just signed up here tonight. I'm fairly techy. I remember connecting to various BBS while in school with my 24k modem on my Tandy 1000 from Radio Shack. But this is all a bit overwhelming and a little confusing. I'm committed to getting the hang of it all and ditching the other place. Picture of my dog that likes to sit on rocks.

Hey all! I live in the Southern US. I'm an IT director. Hobbies include lifting weights, manga/manhwa/manhua, RPGs (currently running a D&D 5E campaign and playing in an OSRIC campaign), and cooking.

I deleted my Reddit account a few days ago, including all my posts and comments. I'm all in. Lemmy has been fantastic.

I was an 11 year Reddit member, deleted my account yesterday.

Been here for a few hours and my nerves have already calmed, this feels like home!

Hello 👋 I will first introduce my 10 year old cat Simba. He loves going outside and smell trees and flowers. He do not like to play for long because he hates losing. Loves cuddles and is very social with everyone. He sleeps a lot too close by 😂

And my self (with out Pic).

I am a developer. I like reading Manga and manhwa, play games, do any kind of physical activity with others. I also seem to like lemmy a lot because I have never written this much publicly before.

Thanks for having me :D

Hello!! I just signed up! I'm still trying to figure everything out over here. Been on reddit for 10 years or so and thought I'd check out all this.

Not much to say about myself really... I'm quite boring.

Hello folks.

Reddit veteran since around 2010.

Likes - Guitar-playing, kayaking, hiking, fishing, cooking, craft beer, camping, photography, cursed memes

Dislikes - Steve "the sleeve" Huffman

introduce your pet instead!

You asked for it :D

My cat

Hi! Here are a few of my wee friends - they're very hard workers and I'm very proud of them.

Crappy photo because it's hard taking a photo in a bee suit and gloves. :-)

Hello. I'm a a Reddit refugee, I mostly lurked though. I'm in my mid 20s. Here are my birds.

Been using Reddit since 2010. I should really be using the API controversy to break my social media addiction but here we are. Mainly just a lurker in hobby and video game subreddits but looking forward to contributing more here

Hello!

Canadian girl from the prairies here! Glad to have found Lemmy as my new home. Telling everyone and anyone about it! Love how small and new it feels. I actually feel I can post and comment without too much negativity so am slowly getting out of my lurker mode. Not so much on this account but you can find me trying to be chatty on both mander.xyz and sh.itjust.works (my main).

Happy to meet other Lemmies!

Hi I'm a guy with four cats who's just here to see cat pictures mostly. My cats just want to sleep, so I get on here to watch other people's cats do fun stuff.

Hello Lemmy! I have joined this community due to the current API crisis and the increasingly worse experience I've been having on Reddit recently. I hope I can permanently settle down in this place and call it home from now on! Too bad there aren't any communities for some of my niche interests atm though. 😢

And now I just realized I've cursed myself with this thread to introduce myself...

So, hey! I'm an internet person that's floated around etherspace awhile, not that long, but at least long enough that I remember ol' forums and stuff like StumbleUpon. I've moderated a couple forums before and typically take a more hands-off approach to things.

I'm into some webcomics and really enjoy reading, but I'm also really bad/good about both getting a bunch of books & making lists of books to read and just kind of sporadically reading some of them. I dabble in a lot more, but this is me trying to keep it brief, so I'm stopping here. 😜

Hello Lemmy, I too am a reddit refugee and I'd like to introduce you all to my fists... of friendship! Yes friendship!

Kidding aside, hopefully I'll be able to make myself at home in the coming weeks, and I'm hoping for my subs back over at the Big R to come over here. Interested in music discovery, self-improvement, graphic design, games, books, Warhammer lore, memes, and basically any community that might tickly me fancy.

Glad to be here! Oh, and Mr. $ can go #*!@& his API.

EDIT: a letter.

Hey, I'm Tobor. Migrated from another instance and I like it here! My interests are all over the place, but at the moment: Zelda, drawing, poetry and plants. Nice to meet you all 🍃

Hello! Been here a week and still does not know how posting works.

I'm @nihilist_hippie, I came here to scroll. I was on Reddit from 2011 till today. I'm hoping Lemmy takes off, and some of the interface kinks get ironed out. I'm considering trying to get more people to come aboard. I like techie stuff, and music, and news, and memes.

Hello. Was on Reddit for 10 years and been here six days now. I'm here mostly for science, news, fiction, games and finding new stuff. Got over the urge to look at Reddit already, but am taking this new poison. The fediverse with its different instances gives a feeling of smaller communities comming together which is both true and nice.

Well ok… I’m an old timer who’s been around the ‘net since the days of dialup, when FIDO and local BBSs were the Next Big Thing. I’ve always preferred to avoid corporate services, and the Late Unpleasantness on the alien site and the bird site have only made me more sure that’s the right stance.

Other than that, I’ve been a Trekkie forever. I love sci-fi, fantasy, and the paranormal. I enjoy a good ghost story, a smooth scotch, and a vintage fountain pen. Coffee is liquid gold. Everything else is subject to change without notice.

Hello world.

I mostly do tabletop hobby projects, I’ve got both a huge backlog to post and some new stuff coming up. I also do generally creative projects including worldbuilding a little scifi space adventure universe that I started way back when I needed to keep myself sane at work.

I’m here to add as much original content as I can for quality.
