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/

Hello from Ottawa , the 613. Can anyone point me to url for the history of the Lemmy site, perhaps even the backstory of Lemmy.ca ? I didn't check into Reddit back in 2015. I am interested. I was led here by a reddit moderator in the electronics industry.

Edit2 I found Michaels intro post and the ten tutorial inks and I will start there

i can give you the quick history of lemmy.ca. kinetix started this instance back in 2020 i believe. around January, 2022, he was asking if anyone wanted to take over the site. so i volunteered, and around the beginning of February 2022 it had been transferred over.

it's been pretty quiet here since then, until the whole reddit fiasco recently, and it's great to see all the new users and increased activity!
