    Speaking as a noob trying to see if I can respond from another server… Hi!

    I spun up an instance for a friend group, to test it out, and while I think no one has a real clue what’s going on, it’s nice to have something new and positive. And since I or a friend control the server, no worries on the perverse incentives of the internet giants.

    So, yeah, hopefully we can learn, and hopefully the ecosystem can grow.

      I’ve been here six whole days, so I’m, like, some super veteran 🤣🤣

      I actually like the less jaded attitude in most of the communities, though many are still very, very small (like single digits). I was part of Post.news when the Twitter exodus happened and had a fun time with it for a month; once it got populated the bigger voices/micro-blog celebrities pretty much drowned out the average user like me and I wandered away because there just wasn’t enough interaction on the average thread. Pretty much he twitter experience - too ephemeral to be a community. This (Lemmy/kbin) feels nice, though.
