That sounds interesting, I’ll have to check that out.

If you’re looking for another search engine, I will always offer Ecosia as another. It essentially uses a Bing engine but uses the ad revenue to plant actual living trees around the world. They document their progress and release their financial statements.

I’ll use Ecosia for things that are not really private and then Brave for everything else.

I guess at this point it’s becoming a…… bee-flex 🥸

changemyview was fantastic when people were actually open to discussing their view; I witnessed some very thoughtful discussions. Some people would unfortunately hardline their opinion and reply with things like, “Yeah but that doesn’t change my opinion,” and seemed as though they were not actually open to changing their view.

I agree that sub (like most) got repetitive and seemed to engage people on an increasingly superficial level. I guess I would prefer more thoughtful or engaging topics. I did check out the ask Lemmy community and will use that for now.

I really like changing my wallpapers, so something for mobile wallpapers. Also, I really enjoyed r/

whatisthisthing for wacky things people found

askdocs and legaladvice for advise on when to seek professional assistance

askreddit (which I see some posts, along with AMA-type things on c/chats)

YouShouldKnow and LifeProTips

Outoftheloop to ask questions for summaries (e.g., Why is everyone talking about Johnny Depp?)

Hello everyone, I’m one of the many from Reddit. I’m in the Midwest US and work as a registered nurse. I enjoy reading, video games (e.g., BOTW, Overwatch), table top games (e.g., Dominion), camping, and got a little into running. I consider myself a fairly goofy and laid back person.

I love learning about anything I can. This whole shift with Reddit really forced some introspection on how I interact with online communities and what I am hoping to get out of those connections. I realize the Beehaw communities are smaller, but I sense more personal connections, versus mostly viewing and scrolling content already upvoted by 10k people.

I am inspired by what the admins are doing with Beehaw and other Lemmy instances, and I’m looking forward to sharing and connecting more with other hawbeeists (I like that term from @ashen@beehaw.org).
