And saw a bunch of posts about the third party apps closing down, and lots of negativity about that whole fiasco.
… And I realized I hadn’t been there for a week… And frankly didn’t miss it. I am really loving the beehaw (and Lemmy as a whole) community. Thanks for being open, welcoming, responsive, engaging, and just generally nice people. I’m happy to be here. :)
That is a challenge we have, but I think the answer is to just go for it. I’m doing the same here with kbin which is another option for viewing the same content (I’m responding to you from there) but with some extra features. I feel like an advertisement, but at the same time a lot of new people just don’t know what else is out there in the fediverse, so I’m trying to encourage exploring and finding what’s right for you.
