Title says it all!? I'm a reddit refuge and picked this instance because it's A) Canadian (I'm in MN, so consider myself an honorary Canadian), and B) The clean energy thing.

Applied to Beehaw but never heard back. Dittos on Lemmy.ML!

So hoping this is going to be a great "home" away from Reddit for the foreseeable future.

Cheers, and well done on the instance, admins!

Also a Reddit refuge. Just deleted a 6 year old account and all its content. It was a bit bittersweet but alas, it was time to move on with all that's happened. Also applied to Beehaw and Lemmy.ml but can imagine it might be a bit swamped as didn't hear back, so here I am. Glad to be here.

My requests didn't even get through. I applied here and it went right away so here I am.

I got a Lemmy.ml account approved, but actually loading anything on that instance was damaging my calm. You are not missing anything. Sh.itjust.works has been smooth, friendly, and just works.

Ya. It has been rather painless to use. How more people migrate so there is enough activity. Hopefully finding new communities will also become easier.

My account is going on 9 years. I'm not ready to kiss it good bye.

Mine was twelve. If I'm honest, I was unhappy with reddit's direction for at least a solid nine of those, but killing Sync was the last straw. Nuked my account yesterday and don't have any regrets.

Nice. So far I love Lemmy.
