Weirdly it's a similar feeling to moving to a way nicer house!

Hello all you fine Reddit refugees.

I already learned my lesson when I signed up to the big Mastodon instance hosted on the other side of the world—found the second largest US-based server I could find, signed up there, rock solid so far.

Just found out about the wefwef PWA app which is pretty damn good as an Apollo replacement. Hopefully it can be a native iOS app in the future. Definitely made me ease into Lemmy a lot easier. Hope good things for the future.

I hope I am not missing anything if I joined using lemmy.ml.

Oh damn, I remember people saying that everybody interested in Lemmy already joined by now. I'm really curious how things will look one week from now

Joined yesterday day. It's a bit of a learning curve and requires some time to rebuild my "front page". I'm enjoying it so far, haven't stepped foot on Reddit once since then besides my muscle memory launching bacon reader a few times.

Good to see Lemmy grow, but I hope that the decentralization will work out so that the large influx of new users will spread out as evenly as possible. General purpose instances help balancing the load, and last time I checked join-lemmy.org there have been several general purpose instances, which seems promising.

Whoooo!! Here we go. New era of internet. Twitter is dying, reddit is dying, I can't wait to see the decentralized web come to life.

Welcome to the new users :)

Reddit expats represent.

Glad to be here! Just got to learn the ropes.

Hi, my name is power2bill. Feels odd to not have RIF on my phone. I'm going to lurk for awhile and make a comment every 2-3 months. Hopefully, new communities pop up that I used to go on from reddit. I'll be here enjoying usefully, and sometimes not useful information. Cheers everyone! 🍻

Well, sorry for saying this folks, but I regret having deleted my Reddit account...

... before editing all my comments to point to Lemmy.

So glad to see Lemmy get big

I'd like to say glad to bere here, but tbh it makes me sad to leave behind my Reddit account of almost a decade.

Lemmy look promising though (and still slightly confusing :)

I am one of those people who migrated as I grew up with an internet that was full of small communities and interesting content uncontrolled by greedy corporations. When I found Reddit back in 2012, I thought it was amazing and going to be a bastion of information for a modern internet. Well, now we know that wasn't the case thanks to chasing the almighty dollar. Hopefully this is the point in time where we can steer this ship around and bring the control back to the users.

Glad to see folks coming over here, definitely shaping up into a preferable alternative :)
