👋 to all the newcomers, let me know if you need any help getting settled in!
My first post as a refugee! Glad this place is here to fill the void.
I joined 2 weeks ago, I technically am a migrant lol but I feel like a veteran already .
WELCOME REDDITORS!
Tell us about the before-times, gramps!
We used to struggle without our beloved pre built subreddits!
We had to pray to our instance develop lords with praise for giving us space!
Fr fr tho this experience is historical and I’m learning just as much as you! I learn if there’s a community missing that you used to frequent, make it yourself!
I ended up making [email protected] to fill my GOAT manga needs
I straight up don’t know how to use Lemmy. I feel like I need to relearn how to ride a bike.
I’ve been here for a bit more than a week now and my biggest advice and is to take it as it is. Take a deep breath, accept that this is Lemmy and not something else, and that you’re feeling it out. This is not relearning a bike, this is getting in a peddle boat for the first time. Similar, yes, but also it’s own thing.

I joined a few weeks ago but after RIF died just over an hour ago it looks like I’ve found my new home.

This whole fediverse thing is a bit strange after 10 years of rif. But Reddit was going downhill for quite a while. Hope this takes off!
And reddit still has a long way down. Look at Facebook, it never died, it just lost most young users and it grew stale with conspiracy theories, blind hatred and fake news.
It’s the walmart-ification of social media. They’re self sustaining because of their size, but that’s not enough to make them an enjoyable experience. Just corporate, sterile, and lots of bored people.
After 3 weeks of use, it still confounds me.
Joining the party as RIF kicks the bed :')
You’re all the technology-savvy intelligent ones who figured out Lemmy right away, months ago. I was trying to get into Lemmy even before July 1st but finally figured it out today November 10th! I finally got into Lemmy today. It was nearly as difficult as applying & repeatedly being rejected for competitive employment somewhere. sheesh.
