Holy shit. How did you get to know about Lemmy and why did you join?

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 year ago

Not OP but reddit and the piracy subreddit

[–] riccardo@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

At the time I knew what the fediverse was and I was using Mastodon quite consistently, and I was waiting for a federated alternative to reddit. Raddle at the time was already a thing, but federation was not on their roadmap.

As per how I found it... here's a comment from four years ago :)

Why it say 4y ago but account created 2023?

[–] Nemo@midwest.social 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Instance admins can change literally any of that information in the database. There's a user whose account info says she's been on lemmy for a century.

[–] FredericChopin_@feddit.uk 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You might be correct, although I would have expected the 4y ago part to not be a column in the database.

It would more likely have a CreatedAt column of type DateTime. Then using something like moment in the client you can format to show the date and time since, which makes it strange here that we seemingly have CreatedAt and TimeSinceCreation columns which is odd no?

[–] christophski@feddit.uk 3 points 1 year ago

There's nothing to stop them changing the creation date though

Just a couple months - around July 2023. No point in being on Reddit anymore since I got a sitewide ban for not being an Andrew tate fan.

Rapist psycho misogynists deserve to have a horrible penetrative thing happen to them in prison. I’m not sorry.

Id say this is more likely than admin manipulation.

Just since The Incident at the Other Place.

Before the dark times. Before the Empire.

[–] thorbot@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

In the before times, in the long long ago

Since June 13, 2023.

2023 / 13 * 6 produces a cool repeating pattern of 692307:

[–] WYLD_STALLYNS@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

[–] UprisingVoltage@feddit.it 8 points 1 year ago

I was simultaneously desperately hoping RIF for Reddit wouldn't die...

Now however, I'm still sad about RIF, but very happy about being here on Lemmy!

16 June 2023 - my account appears newer than that because I switched instance.

[–] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

Counting from my first account almost 4 years, a bit over 3 year on this one

[–] everett@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Longer than I thought. When I tried to register I was annoyed that the username was taken, but it turned out they also dropped the info in my password manager back in 2021!

[–] FredericChopin_@feddit.uk 4 points 1 year ago

Since the mighty exodus. I’ve not been back to that other place, I don’t spend as much time on here as I did there which is a win for me.

[–] mouse@midwest.social 3 points 1 year ago

June 1st, 2023 = 102 days

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

See my cake day.

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

July 26th 2020, a day that will live on in infamy as the first day of Hexbear.

possibly giant emojirat-salute

My very first account was in Feb of 2022, but i kinda abandoned it until the 3rd party apps blackout on June 12. Then i came back and really started to kick the tires.

since the beginning of time! Like 2 months ago, it was a Tuesday I think.

[–] gestrow@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

3 days now. I miss the abuse of reddit. Jk

[–] TheImpressiveX@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Since January 2021. I left Lemmy for about a year, then came back during the Reddit blackout.

[–] DRx@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Since the day before the Reddit strike… so mid June?

I signed up to see what it was about during the Redditmageddon. I'm still on both sites and always will be though.

June 7th, 2023

[–] cynetri@midwest.social 2 points 1 year ago

December of 2022. I was moving away from closed-source social media, and after Twitter -> Mastodon, Reddit was next. I didn't become active til the whole API thing tho, because Lemmy didn't have some communities that I liked. So I made one lol

2-3 months I think? I could check, but that's just too much effort.

Like it a lot so far though!

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago
[–] 0next@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Just a few months ago.
