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!

Who is the admin for this server? Can you tell us about yourself? What makes this server different from some others (except for its Canadian bias, of course).

Is it run on AWS instance, and are you self funding it?

i'm the admin. i'm a software developer, living in Winnipeg, MB. I spend a lot of time watching my son play baseball in the spring/summer, own a dog that sometimes acts like a cat.

Not sure what makes this server different from others? I will do my best to make this place a safe, welcoming space for all. Will probably need some help along the way as we grow.

It's currently run on a VPS on lunanode, a canadian provider. I'm currently self funding it, but plan on accepting donations to help run it as well.
