I honestly can't say about the influx. Since I'm part of it.

But man....

This does feel like home.

I was already loving Mastodon.

Honestly, the real question is:

What took us soo long....

I was lurking on Lemmy for a long time now read only mode, not signed up, but never had the urge to actually making an account.

I try not to have so many feeds where I'm active at once, to try and better manage the time I spend on this feeds.

Twitter and Reddit were the ones I engaged the most

Twitter became Mastodon and Reddit became Lemmy on that matter, so that I can focus on being active and helpful whenever possible.

So, what took me so long...?

Definitely something I will be asking myself for a while, since so far the experience here have something that reddit just don't. The quality over quantity aspect.

Finally...

Thanks for having me here, I hope I can contribute the best I can to maintain Lemmy awesome as it is. I don't post or reply like a madman, but I like to participate on constructive discussion every now and then.

Looks awesome, but please add a separate setting to set the font size of the front page and the posts/comments.

The way it works currently, front page font becomes too small when changed in settings.

Also part of the problem, but so far the experience is being great.

Quality over quantity on most posts here on Lemmy, really liking it.
