Oh hey there. Reddit user of 9 years, migrating for obvious reasons. Just want to introduce my little community, if any of y'all enjoy playing old-school forum games:
I'm really liking the friendly vibe here and hope it continues as the community grows!
Count me as another Reddit refugee! Happy to have found Lemmy and hope to support a growing and vibrant community. I'll likely be in lurker mode (we introverts are good at that) as I learn my way around. Thank you for the FAQ - very helpful! I don't have a boat but do have a couple of cats and dogs. I enjoy art, books, music, humor, nature and technology. And yes, I've been around since the days of dial-up (who can forget that sound, right?) Grateful to be here.
Been using Reddit since 2010. I should really be using the API controversy to break my social media addiction but here we are. Mainly just a lurker in hobby and video game subreddits but looking forward to contributing more here
👋 - Have mostly been lurking various lemmy instances (beehaw, lemmy.world, …) and finally decided on creating an account here! Looks like I will need to create multiple accounts though due to defederation on some instances. No biggie, lol.
Hope to contribute content here and keep lemmy alive and well even as Reddit management is threatening many subreddits to open back up.
Well ok… I’m an old timer who’s been around the ‘net since the days of dialup, when FIDO and local BBSs were the Next Big Thing. I’ve always preferred to avoid corporate services, and the Late Unpleasantness on the alien site and the bird site have only made me more sure that’s the right stance.
Other than that, I’ve been a Trekkie forever. I love sci-fi, fantasy, and the paranormal. I enjoy a good ghost story, a smooth scotch, and a vintage fountain pen. Coffee is liquid gold. Everything else is subject to change without notice.
I’m new here and just wanted to try to post something to see if I understand the process. (I’m an old man who thinks and moves slowly)
Welcome! Looks like ya have the commenting down!
Thanks for the feedback. When I tried to post that first comment I got a “Failed to post “ notification in red at the bottom of my screen, so I had thought I had failed. So, good to know that it did work. Thank you.
Hey, I'm Tobor. Migrated from another instance and I like it here! My interests are all over the place, but at the moment: Zelda, drawing, poetry and plants. Nice to meet you all 🍃
I'm @nihilist_hippie, I came here to scroll. I was on Reddit from 2011 till today. I'm hoping Lemmy takes off, and some of the interface kinks get ironed out. I'm considering trying to get more people to come aboard. I like techie stuff, and music, and news, and memes.
hello! first year engineering student from chile!
on the spectrum and really love SciFi 🖖
Hello all! Was a reddit lurker for most of 13 years. Now I'm a new dad trying to find time for my hobbies (video games, drawing badly, and TTRPGs). I just moved back to the US after living in China for almost 9 years as a teacher.
Hi! I'm both a Reddfugee and genuinely curious about the fediverse / Lemmy.
But enough about me, I wanted to introduce my pet boat....uh.... Boaty McBoatface. She's pretty cool, especially since she's floating in some water in some location.
Hey everyone, velvet here :) I am a developer with a revolving door of interests and hobbies. Lately I've been interested in true crime/horror, the Sims, aerial sports, and hanging out with my cat and two aussie pups! This is my first time joining the Fediverse after 12 years on Reddit, nice to meet you all!
