Wondered if they might wind up here and want some support.
I arrived a few weeks ago. The place has grown an order of magnitude in just a few weeks, content is starting to appear, and little bugs are being ironed out.
It’s not Reddit and there’s a lot of work to do, but you know what, it’s already grown on me and I don’t even miss Reddit anymore.
Plus, I’m single-handedly populating !AFL for if/when people come across. Who knows, maybe it will boom one day and I’ll be the guy who started it off.
I am always afraid that will back fire and people will be like “look at this weirdo talking to themselves”.
Haha, that’s literally me at the moment.
Lemmy ticles the reddit desiring part of my brain enough that it takes the edge off and I don’t even miss reddit anymore. I go there to watch some war videos (and porn) but other than that I’m quite happy here and still sticking to my decision to permanently distance myself from there.
What mildly infuriates me is that I don’t know what was in today’s headlines so I have to look it up.
Welcome to all of the new refugees! This place has been awesome so far.
ive only been using it for roughly an hour or so now but it already feels like a place i can gladly call home. I’d love to host my own server at some point but being unfamiliar with linux really hurts. Thats what I think i love most about this whole concept, its like the shard from sword art online. So many “worlds” or “communities” can spring up with the software in place if one lemmy server gets too uppity.
At least it gives us plenty of mildly infuriating content!
That’s actually very infuriating.

I did too. Welcome to us!
As did I. Was sort of okay with third party apps being blocked, but the whole mod replacement thing is unfortunate and has caused my favourite subreddits to go down pretty much indefinitely.
