Im joining in on the reddit ditching thing, and was kinda worried at first that i wouldnt be able to like use it the way i did reddit as it feels like a whole new place, but after engaging with posts and people and actually being a part of lemmy rather than being lurk mode all the time i was pleasantly surprised with how easy it is to become a member of the community, theres a reasonable amount of subs (or whatever the other word for em is) that fit my interests, enough linux content and shitposting for my liking, and the overall random posts made by people equally fed up with Leddit. (also i admit i used reddit a little cus there was this post on the fedora sub showing how to fix a sound issue i been having after a recent update)
It’s been amazing. It feels like the reddit of old and gives me early internet vibes. I’m way more involved with the community here than I was ever on reddit. I love it and I’m staying :)
this is a good way of describing it. it’s been so many years since the early internet, that I didn’t even recognize it why the vibes felt familiar. but now that you mentioned it, yes, it’s exactly the early internet vibes. and I didn’t even realize I was missing them. I’ll be sticking around too
