I never posted on Reddit but lurked it for years using Reddit is Fun. I feel like their decision to essentially kill third party apps is just the start of pushing terrible changes that will turn Reddit into something like Facebook.

After learning a bit about how Lemmy works I'm really interested to see how it grows! Without any one person or organization at the helm it'll be interesting to see what communities naturally flourish.

It's nice to be part of a smaller community again! Hopefully we see more people make the switch

Okay, hello ♥️

It's really different compared to a lot of forums in the early days where everyone use to say 'lurk moar'

I'll wait and see how things go.

Just created a magazine for EASportsFC (formerly FIFA)! I kept looking to see if someone would make a magazine and just said why not make it myself. (insert squidward meme "when i’m in a worst moderator competition and my opponent is NeighborlyNomad")

e: link here! https://kbin.social/m/EASportsFC

I'll try to remember to post things here that may be relevant

I'm not lurking. You are!

Just delete all of my posts and a 12-year old reddit account. So long Reddit...

This is my first comment. I just made an account on Lemmy.world. If I’m correct, users from other instances have a second @ in their name while native users do not.

Share stories, comment. Lurking doesn't generate content.

Hi, I'm here! Signed up on an instance a few days ago with all this BS going on at Reddit, and I just read the "AMA" with spez. Absolutely ridiculous. I would love to see Lemmy take off. Just trying to get the hang of it at the moment, and I hope an iPhone app comes.

I am glad u/iamthatis saved the recordings because u/spez is a liar. I live in a one-party consent state myself, so I know what u/iamthatis did was legal.

Yes! We want to read what you have to say!

Commented and voted.

And just noticed I can bold and format easily?

Hi all, another Reddit refugee here. Glad to see communities forming!!

After years of lurking it’s still hard to break the habit. But I’m really liking this fediverse and will push myself to become more engaged.

Question: If the equivalent Reddit subreddit doesn't exist that we use, should we create it? Or wait for the moderators from Reddit to create it?

I think part of that is the confusion around communities, how does a community on each instance mesh together? As people are being pushed away from the primary Lemmy instance due to overloading, the smaller ones look far less populated and lead people to feel that it’s a ghost town.

So when I follow /c/memes, am I following the one on my instance, the one on the first instance that created it or a hybrid of both?

Resisting the urge to lurk, it’s making the platform more enjoyable

No Lurking from me!

In all honesty, Thankful to be here and have something to turn to. Excited to see the massive improvements Lemmy takes on over the coming months with traffic from reddit.
