Glad to be here!

The forced ‘inside jokes’ that filled so many threads, so many times you would see a post and be able to predict the top comment and its replies. Hoping that the lack of account karma helps with that.

So many times in the past few months I would open reddit, stare at rhr uninteresting front page and close it. Especially the past few years it has taken an astronomical nosedive, and that’s coming from someone who joined in 2013 which some consider too late.

They’re probably the sorts of people that would drive down the quality of content here, so no great loss anyway.

Lemmites and Lemmegians are best

Yes, I had briefly heard of Mastodon but knew next to nothing about it, and Twitter never interested me so I ignored it. After using Lemmy for a week I have now signed up for Mastodon and PixelFed, massive potential with these.

My account is one I made for work related purposed and has ~140 karma with very little identifiable information about me. I won’t delete it, but I’m no longer using Reddit as a time-waster. I’m diversifying and have signed up here, kbin, Mastodon and PixelFed.

I only ever lurked Reddit and am yet to change that here, but I am finding it nice to use. Once more communities, particularly niche interests, get a good amount of frequent users I think it will be an absolute joy to participate in.
