Joining the party as RIF kicks the bed :')
You're all the technology-savvy intelligent ones who figured out Lemmy right away, months ago. I was trying to get into Lemmy even before July 1st but finally figured it out today November 10th! I finally got into Lemmy today. It was nearly as difficult as applying & repeatedly being rejected for competitive employment somewhere. sheesh.
Very sad to say goodby to RIF after 9 years. Lets get this party started and I got some learning to do in this new environment.

I joined a few weeks ago but after RIF died just over an hour ago it looks like I've found my new home.

This whole fediverse thing is a bit strange after 10 years of rif. But Reddit was going downhill for quite a while. Hope this takes off!
And reddit still has a long way down. Look at Facebook, it never died, it just lost most young users and it grew stale with conspiracy theories, blind hatred and fake news.
It's the walmart-ification of social media. They're self sustaining because of their size, but that's not enough to make them an enjoyable experience. Just corporate, sterile, and lots of bored people.

Second ever comment here. I watched Apollo shut down live, went to sleep and then immediately tried opening it up again after waking up, out of habit - girlfriends still asleep and I got so used to browsing Reddit for a bit before we get up on weekends, it has become muscle memory.
Using Wefwef currently and itβs nice, awesome work especially for a web app.

I straight up don't know how to use Lemmy. I feel like I need to relearn how to ride a bike.
I've been here for a bit more than a week now and my biggest advice and is to take it as it is. Take a deep breath, accept that this is Lemmy and not something else, and that you're feeling it out. This is not relearning a bike, this is getting in a peddle boat for the first time. Similar, yes, but also it's own thing.

Just uninstalled RIF this morning when I opened it up like I always do when I wake up.
It was a good run but dang. Now I'm trying to figure all of this fediverse stuff. The app Jerboa on Android seems to be working pretty well.
Welcome
Lemmy is the Future! :D
god damn haha.
Slide refugee that has been here for a few weeks. I like it here!
I just joined today and could use some assistance finding communities that I'd fit into. I'm into Cybersecurity and all matters of computing. If anyone has a suggestion please reply and thanks for having me :)
https://lemmyverse.net/communities This is a good start in search for communities. You can enter your home instance(in your case lemmy.ca) by clicking on the house symbol at the top right and then search for communities like "security".
When you click on one, it'll automatically lead you to the adress based on your home instance and you can immediately subscribe to them form there.
https://lemmy.ca/c/cybersecurity@sh.itjust.works could be of interest for example

Came over a few days ago, and the infrastructure is so much better in concept than Reddit ever was.
oddly boost still works for me right now
Relay seems to still be working for me. Also, my personal shreddit app is still working.
I suspect reddit are leaving them operational so reddit can bill them at the end of the month.

Are this active users? (Commenting/posting) or just traffic?
I ask as I spent time in different servers looking for one I liked before making an account, so it took a while before I became an 'active user'
Lemmy only counts activity as commenting or posting. Unlike Reddit which counted any eyeball on a post as active. However, this is a traffic graph from the server, not from Lemmy itself.
I'm just glad I found a server that allowed me to register. Been trying for weeks. Lemmy.ml is closed for registration. Lemmy.world just spins when you hit the register button. Another instance just said my registration was pending.
I'm really not ready. My Connect for Lemmy app is renamed to Lemmy is fun and is using the rif icon, it's hard to let go.
Whatever gets you through these trying times!
We are still going on infinity.
Thank you for your warm welcome.
I never used a reddit ap, nor have I moderated, but I've watched the happenings and been incredulous at Huffman's (and subsequently Reddit's) behavior.
