Lemmy.ca's Main Community

Here from Reddit, and this is looking like a great new space. Cheers!

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!

Hey all, I'm an ex-pat living in the UK, Scotland to be precise...er. I'm from Vancouver, and I'm on lemmy.ml, as .ca didn't appear to be an option when I signed up.

I'm a Stone Mason, have a cat who's a bit of a shithead, and I make electronic music as a hobby.

One thing I find confusing is the notification bell icon. I notice that even if I check it, it still registers the same number of notifications that it had done previously. This number never seems to go down. What's with that?

Glad to be here. I am still trying to comprehend how all these different servers/instances work but lemmy should hopefully be more resilient from a takeover a la twitter (never had a twitter account fortunately) or an implosion from above a la reddit.

Sorry for the dumb question, but how do I interact with all the other servers/instance (for example beehaw.org or lemmy.ml, etc.) do i use the same login and password as the lemmy.ca?

Hello! Came over from Reddit based on recommendations from Mastodon friends. Looking forward to interact on food, Habs, wine, Canadian politics, and tv shows. My last favourite was Succession. I can't start a new show for fear of being disappointed. What are you watching?

I had Jerboa installed on my phone for the last month or so. The Reddit issues finally got my butt in gear. I've gotten into open source software and self hosting in the past year and while I manage Windows environments in my professional life I moved to Linux in my personal environment. Really helps separate work/home life and I've learned a ton of new stuff which I love. Happy to be a part of the fediverse!

Hello everyone, new to Lemmy!

I had randomly picked up Lemmy.world but found Lemmy.ca along the way.

Was hoping to sign up here but it seems to be having issues. Hopefully that gets resolved over the next few days and I can land over here with y'all.

If not, I guess it doesn't really matter. I can just sub around here too.

Fediverse is cool :)
