Hi, I'm WhyTrashEarth... I want to make people happy, improve our Earth, and explore Lemmy.World... I'm always here to help my friends so feel free to ask! I have lots of friends who use/used reddit, never really understood the appeal of it... However, I figured I'd try Lemmy out. I learned about this site because of MentalOutlaw from YouTube. Hello Lemmy World!
Oh hey there. Reddit user of 9 years, migrating for obvious reasons. Just want to introduce my little community, if any of y'all enjoy playing old-school forum games:
I'm really liking the friendly vibe here and hope it continues as the community grows!
Count me as another Reddit refugee! Happy to have found Lemmy and hope to support a growing and vibrant community. I'll likely be in lurker mode (we introverts are good at that) as I learn my way around. Thank you for the FAQ - very helpful! I don't have a boat but do have a couple of cats and dogs. I enjoy art, books, music, humor, nature and technology. And yes, I've been around since the days of dial-up (who can forget that sound, right?) Grateful to be here.
Hey, there - I'm a recent Reddit refugee, mostly because of Huffman's approach to the mods and users during the API crisis, not exactly because of the apps themselves (never used them). That was only the culminating reason I left Reddit, however, as it was becoming a right-wing cesspool in many ways. Settled on this instance after lurking for a while (although midwest.social is pretty great as well) and I'm enjoying the vibe so far. Specialty is memes, pop culture, and music.

Hey there! I’m another Reddit refugee looking to make a new home here. After a couple of false starts (not with Lemmy) I finally looked at this site for ease of use. I’m hoping to bring over a few other Reddit refugees from my favourite subs in the near future and expect to be settling in quite soon. I’m also wanting to create a community for my special interest - just not sure how I’ll go about that at the moment since there’ll be a couple of decisions to be made. Now for a proper look around.
Welcome! If you need some pointers, I've made a FAQ over here, and if you have any specific questions regarding Lemmy.world operations or issues, there's !support@lemmy.world.
Also, for when you get around to making your community, remember to promote it over in !newcommunities@lemmy.world and communitypromo@lemmy.ca as well as elsewhere in the Fediverse!
Thank you for this, it’s very helpful.
👋 - Have mostly been lurking various lemmy instances (beehaw, lemmy.world, …) and finally decided on creating an account here! Looks like I will need to create multiple accounts though due to defederation on some instances. No biggie, lol.
Hope to contribute content here and keep lemmy alive and well even as Reddit management is threatening many subreddits to open back up.
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! first year engineering student from chile!
on the spectrum and really love SciFi 🖖
