There has been a steady trickle of new users here today, and in the past little while, mostly due to the bad decisions that reddit is currently making.

Anyways, welcome! Feel free to look around, and if you have any questions about anything lemmy related, feel free to ask!

Also, if you feel up to it, introduce yourself in the comments below!

edit: Here's a nice getting started guide for lemmy: https://tech.michaelaltfield.net/2023/06/11/lemmy-migration-find-subreddits-communities/

i should have added it here a while ago!

Hello from Ontario! Too bad we could not sign up with our existing Mastodon user account (is that even possible?).

    @lexcyn@lemmy.ca @smorks Actually I guess I could just use my Mastodon account to reply/etc but doing it this way is a lot more confusing, haha

    i was just going to tell you that you could do that, but you figured it out yourself, haha. unfortunately there's currently no way to the the reverse (lemmy to mastodon), i don't believe.

    Fair enough, I will keep them separate anyways because navigating from Mastodon to Lemmy is a nightmare lol

    yes, agreed, it's not the most intuitive thing in the world. hopefully it gets easier as the platforms mature.

    True - although since I use a dedicated Mastodon app on my phone, it lets me get notifications - hopefully there's a Lemmy app soon!

    btw transitioning my 13 year old Reddit account over here :)
