    I hope all the lemmy instances are ready for a surge of users. Let’s encourage redditors to join Lemmy and learn the kinks and quirks by trial and error. Let’s be kind to the newcomers.

    service that owes its popularity largely to its low barrier to entry signals higher barriers to entry

    So Reddit wants to move to a pay model, which would mean they’d have banking information on record for any user that might be of interest to the federal government.

    No thank you.

      Welcome! Hope you like it here. I’m happy to see people are jumping ship despite the “it’s too complex to switch to Lemmy” false narrative.

        Just gotta compare it to signing up for an email. You gotta choose a provider.

          I personally don’t really like that analogy. With email, you can send and email to anyone who has an email address. You can only see emails you have received after creating your email account. It’s simple and clear. With the fediverse, for past posts, you can see some: only if it was posted on your instance or if someone on your instance was following them when it was originally posted or has interacted with it since, meaning there is some technicality that prevents you from seeing everything you think you should be able to see.

          In terms of account creation, I agree. Just pick a provider (instance), if you don’t like it you can create a new account somewhere else later.

      Same, fresh refugee here. I’ve tried mastodon before and I didn’t feel good with Fediverse, but only because I never really used Twitter. Surprisingly I only discover Reddit few weeks ago (to properly spend some time there… where was I all these years lol) I’m starting to like this fediverse though 😁

        Honestly, same. Mastodon is fine if you like the Twitter format, but I never did. Lemmy works for me, largely cuz Reddit also worked for me, until the API debacle.

      I think it’s a great idea. It might finally pry me off the reddit teat once and for all.
