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'm not exactly a Reddit refugee, since I've been using a variety of decentralized communications systems for a while. I even still make small use of Usenet! That said, now seems like a good time to get signed up on a lemmy instance with my "real" username.

I chose this instance for several reasons. It seems like a solid and sane instance (from my perspective!). It helps keep the load off of the "main" instance (which load would be less if someone put some effort into not making it seem like the obvious place to sign up). Last but not least, hello from Southern Saskatchewan!
