Hi! I'm Peppe, just your average end user with a little bit of poltiical conscience

Glad to see that I am not the only one a bit lost but excited with this transition from reddit.

Hopefully this fediverse-thing will be way better and more resilient than everything past.

I was finally able to subscribe to other instances. YAY!

Hello and howdy to everyone! I'm another of the recently reddit-less, hoping to find a good community here and (figuratively) leave the place a little better than I find it.

Hi I am prymu and I am a reddit referee. I am from poland and am interested in geopolitics and technology of all sorts. Lately I have found myself to be a server admin for my own "homelab" (it is just 1 server for now). I also am interested is aviation and ai art (stable diffusion)

Computers, art, music, blah blah blah. My cats think I'm cool.

I apologize for the list of labels but I'm an atheist, autistic, agoraphobic, asexual, epileptic, trans, homeschooled-until-college 28-year-old.

If you met me you'd think I'm a relatively normal person though!

I'm a theatre kid working as a data analyst in local government healthcare.

I'm trying to learn Unreal Engine 5 but I'm struggling to keep going even though it's a lifelong dream. Though I've made good and rewarding progress and I took all next week off to let myself hyperfocus without getting fired.

The Wall by Pink Floyd is my favorite album ever, and the first piece of art to make me sob. Every. Damn. Time.

Henlo, I am Gigagoblin! 30's, neurospicy, non-binary, queer. Kinda over all the labels, honestly, just trying to exist. I'm very low-energy & social situations make me spill spaghetti everywhere, but it's easier to connect online! I kinda have huge trouble getting started on things, as well as finishing them & my interests come & go. That said, I'm into writing (poetry & lyrics, mostly), music, movies (especially horror!), cyberpunk, fantasy, spooky things & Digimon. There are manga & anime I enjoy, but I'm not like, obsessed with the mediums. I also enjoy all kinds of gaming, but it's hard to commit when your brain can suddenly decide The Thing is no longer sparking joy.

Essentially, I'm trying my best in the framework I was given. I know I've treated people poorly in the past due to my own pain. It's easy to take it out on others when you're miserable & without hope. Thing is though, I'm also a parent to the most wonderful child & I need to be the kind of person she deserves.

It turns out I'm better off without the people I'd been hanging out with for 15 years, but it also means I'm basically friendless at this point. I don't usually mind the solitude, but sometimes the silence becomes deafening. I guess it's because it's no longer really a choice? Anyway, looking forward to chatting with people here! Apologies if I'm immediately coming across as super depressing, I seem to always be "going through some stuff" & I'd rather paint an honest picture of myself!

Former Digg / Redditor, glad to be a Lemming? Do we have a term yet? Ex video game developer, avid gamer and dog lover. Currently a freelance video editor. Really enjoying the vibe here and with Mlem it’s been more a less lateral move for me from Apollo. I don’t mind how new Mlem is and it’ll be fun to see the changes pop up day to day. Keep up the good work everyone!

Hi i'm L. I've been on reddit since 2012 and would like an alternative! I used to use chatrooms a lot as a kid (don't worry I stayed safe!) and am kinda looking for that camaraderie again :)))) Big pop culture nerd

Hi, I'm Nicktar, end-40s software architect and creator of unfinished projects. I love to find out how stuff works and if I can make it better or different or repair it but once I figured out how to do that and and know that I could do this, I lose interest and it becomes work... So my place is filled with (partially) working prototypes like cat toys, hydroponic flowerpots, broken tablets halfway turned into interactive picture frames, disassembled cordless screwdrives that need a new battery...

Also climate activist, table top roleplayer and currently quite busy playing around with Stable Diffusion

I’m a Reddit refugee who met my future husband on Reddit 13 years ago. It feels weird to be leaving.

I've almost signed up for this a few time but never felt the need to complete the sign up since there was always reddit... but now I'm starting to doubt reddit will survive unharmed. So here I am.

Hi i am Yumi 23, just a lost soul somewhere in your small little rectangle in your pocket. I wish everyone a nice day.

Hi everybody, another reddit refugee here. I'm liking the vibe of this place so far, reminds me of the early days of reddit before it got too full of trolls, bots, & spam. Some of My interests are tech, art, craft and diy hobbies, 3d printers, lgbt topics.

Hi everyone! I just arrived here from Reddit, and am looking forward to getting to know Beehaw's communities. I think my discord bio described me best: geriatric millennial, entertainment junkie (books, shows, movies, news, gossip), nature enjoyer. I'm a member of the LGBTQIA community, involved in science fields by trade, and on a perpetual mission to learn new things. Happy to be here.

I'm also switching over from Reddit! I didn't post as much on Reddit but I will try to here. Hoping to find similar communities as the ones on Reddit such as sourdough, city communities (Brussels, Edinburgh, etc.) And games. Still trying to figure out the fediverse but liking it a lot so far!

Came here from Reddit! Just hoping to talk to other people about my interests, idk how much I'll post though lol.

Hi, I'm Pallas/retronautickz. I can't consider myself a refugee, even though I use(d) Reddit, because I'm not new to the fediverse and it wasn't the Reddit API changes that made me decide to try Lemmy, but rather wanting to try out other forms of federated social networks other than the one I already use (mastodon)

About me? I'm 29, vegan, queer, neurodivergent and disabled. My interests are languages, both learning and conlanging, and anything vintage (my username being a reference to this). If my profile picture isn't clue enough, I'm a big fan of classical music (and I've been since I was a little kid), but I love music in general and I'm open to listen/discover new artists and genres/styles.

I'm a 22 year old student and recently a Reddit refugee, still trying to find the right communities in this network. I like linguistics, languages in general, biology and, as a stereotypical nerd, anime, manga, TTRPG and videogames, though I play mostly older games, through emulation.

Hi all! I'm another Reddit refugee I guess. I just couldn't abide by their policies any longer so I deleted my 13 years of comments and my account and here I am.

I'm "just" a boring suburban housewife with an awesome dog and progressive political views these days, but I used to work in medical billing and I've raised two boys and two stepkids who are still in my life even though I left their dad many years ago. Five years ago my body decided to rebel against me and make me have a stroke. I am largely healed from that but it took away my active hobbies and I'm technically disabled due to chronic pain and some memory issues.

I have Huntington's Disease. I'm pre-symptomatic right now. I inherited it from my mother, who is currently living at a nursing home. I'd be stoked to find people who could relate to the whole genetic disorder thing. It's a heavy burden sometimes.

I've been active on forums on and off since the late 90's. I used to be a mod back when that was a new thing. I enjoy cooking and solitude and playing The Sims. I have a wonderful husband who also loves solitude, and we enjoy our solitude in the same house but different rooms most of the time.

I keep in touch with my friends and family through digital means for the most part because I can't drive. I meditate and loosely follow the Buddhist principles of letting go of negative emotions when possible and appreciating what is around me. I am a work in progress.

Hello, i'm andrew and like many — a reddit refugee. I'm a graphic designer and web developer who currently resides in the UK, but is planning on moving to Germany later this year. It feels nice to be looking around all of the different communities, my main focus at the moment is learning German.

hey all! i’m thumbtack, been here a couple of weeks and believe id like to stay after being a redditor for ~6 years. i’m interested in spirituality, creative works (sewing, drawing, etc.), world building, and alternative rock music. looking forward to being part of the community!

Hi, I'm Nora! I'm a queer jeweler and I make funny bots sometimes. I am into tabletop games, leftism, colors, dragons, etc.

Edit: Accidental post.

Hey all, I heard about Lemmy from Mastodon and thought I’d give it a shot. I was never much of a reddit user besides occasional lurking, mostly because the quality of discussions seemed pretty hit or miss. BeeHaw seems a lot nicer though, so I thought I’d give it a shot.

I use he/him/his pronouns. If privilege was a game of bingo, my particular demographics would likely be the free space. I try to acknowledge that and use it for good.

By day I’m a staff software engineer at a relatively large tech company (which means I write more docs than code most of the time), and by night I’m a cooking enthusiast, musician, sci fi novel fan, and exhausted parent of a toddler.

Yet another Reddit refugee checking in. I find much of the modern social internet overwhelming and exhausting (looking at you, Discord...) so I was glad to find out about Beehaw. I have entirely too many interests and hobbies, which I tend to rotate through as the whim strikes me. At the moment, it's mostly Gunpla kits, Nintendo Switch (I am the filthiest of casuals), and container gardening (50/50 chance I lose interest before I get a single vegetable).
