First active day on the fediverse after 11 years on Reddit, and liking it here! (lemmy.world)

I've been on reddit for a long, long time and i've seen all the changes that have happened in the past decade. I spent a lot of time on Reddit, and have seen the slow infestation of bots, karma whores, and guerilla marketing disguised as posts.

I'm genuinely excited for the fediverse - it seems like an actual improvement over reddit, and not just a clone. There's a learning curve, but there was one when joining reddit too.

I participated in the migration to Voat, and saw how/why it failed. I'm more optimistic about the fediverse for various reasons, and I'm dedicating my time to helping this thrive.

I was a lurker on Voat, but I'm trying to be active here. I don't like modding, but I've even created my own community here, which is saying a lot given how lazy I am. Hope to interact with y'all more!

And if you're still reading this, i hope you don't mind a shoutout to my new community, maliciouscompliance - recreated this as it was one of my favorite places to lurk on reddit!

EDIT: since a few people asked - I posted in this comment below why I think lemmy has a much better chance than voat did

Very excited for malicious compliance to be back. It was also one of my favorite subs. That, pettyrevenge, and prorevenge were some of my favorites.

welcome! i deleted my 10 yr reddit account a couple days ago and havent gone back. im mostly a lurker. im getting my fill with lemmy, tildes, & kbin right now. one thing i miss is the tv episode discussions i always read on any show i watched

I joined in 2007 originally, but now I'm excited to be here instead. Reddit has been making increasingly shitty decisions and ignoring the community that made reddit. I'd been looking to jump ship for a while and the fediverse seems to be a good answer to the problem of shady corporations.

Next month, I would have been on Reddit for 12 years. I'm with you here man, hope to see your community thrive smoothly

Welcome mate, I hope you enjoy your stay!

I'm just a typical lurker on reddit, and depend so much of its niche sub for particular topic. Ngl i cant completely ditch reddit like most of redittor refugees here seems to be, but i think i could slowly convert my aimless scrolling time on reddit here

I was on Reddit 14 years and 8 months, saw the Digg migration and saw how the influx of people made the site better in so many ways. Hopefully this community will grow and we can make this place be even better by learning from the mistakes Reddit made.
