Deleted my Reddit account yesterday. Feels bad since I used Reddit in lieu of Facebook and Twitter, and it always seemed like a better place... but time moves on and so do I.

Baconreader stopped working last week, so I took the time on the weekend to set this up... Very happy with the experience so far (don't even need an app, using it in Firefox on mobile and saving it as an app is the perfect experience)

Time to be part of the stats!

All it takes is a push to make owning your own server rather than working on someone else's server more attractive.

~~Most are bots though

Many instances have over 40k total users but only 10 people or so active

I think about 250k is the number of real people (still very impressive)~~

My first comment here so that I’ll be counted as a ‘User’!

[-] OndaLuminosa@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Always lurked on Reddit but happy to be counted as active on Lemmy!

I'm only one person but I never returned to Reddit after the blackout. They could do a complete u-turn and even make sp*z that little fucker walk the plank but I would still be done with that place.

I am really excited to see the community we build from here on out.

I've just registered, read this last night and had to comment just to be a part of it. Happy to find a really good alternative.

Came over 7 days ago. Really enjoying the vibe and conversations here. Truly feels like the reddit of old days so far. Thank you all for making this thing great!
