Im joining in on the reddit ditching thing, and was kinda worried at first that i wouldnt be able to like use it the way i did reddit as it feels like a whole new place, but after engaging with posts and people and actually being a part of lemmy rather than being lurk mode all the time i was pleasantly surprised with how easy it is to become a member of the community, theres a reasonable amount of subs (or whatever the other word for em is) that fit my interests, enough linux content and shitposting for my liking, and the overall random posts made by people equally fed up with Leddit. (also i admit i used reddit a little cus there was this post on the fedora sub showing how to fix a sound issue i been having after a recent update)
Thanks for this, it actually helped a lot! I think I’m finally starting to figure things out lol. I do really like this idea though, as I think it’ll lead to a lot less friction in various communities than Reddit had, where fighting in the comments was just commonplace. Either way I’m excited to see how things progress!
And thank you again, I really appreciate it!
No problem, happy to help. Oh, and just to reinforce the whole instances as home street, I already have some expectations & stereotypes about beehaw users: Goody two-shoes, but great to talk to :P
Feel free to shoot me any more questions. I’m feeling very contemplative, although that might just be the beer talking.
