New around here? Want to introduce yourself? Here's a thread! Or if that whole practice makes you want to disappear, uh...Make someone up, or introduce your pet instead!

Whatever floats your boat, and hey, if you have a boat, introduce that boat!

Oh, and before I forget (again), I've written a relatively brief FAQ to help folks find their way around here.

Hello!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Hey, there - I'm a recent Reddit refugee, mostly because of Huffman's approach to the mods and users during the API crisis, not exactly because of the apps themselves (never used them). That was only the culminating reason I left Reddit, however, as it was becoming a right-wing cesspool in many ways. Settled on this instance after lurking for a while (although midwest.social is pretty great as well) and I'm enjoying the vibe so far. Specialty is memes, pop culture, and music. Check out my new community here:

Been using Reddit since 2010. I should really be using the API controversy to break my social media addiction but here we are. Mainly just a lurker in hobby and video game subreddits but looking forward to contributing more here

Heya, welcome! Btw in case you see that one of your comments was removed here & wonder what's up, I just wanted to let ya know it was just me cleaning up an accidental duplicate of this post.

Oh hey there. Reddit user of 9 years, migrating for obvious reasons. Just want to introduce my little community, if any of y'all enjoy playing old-school forum games:

I'm really liking the friendly vibe here and hope it continues as the community grows!

Hello Lemmy, I too am a reddit refugee and I'd like to introduce you all to my fists... of friendship! Yes friendship!

Kidding aside, hopefully I'll be able to make myself at home in the coming weeks, and I'm hoping for my subs back over at the Big R to come over here. Interested in music discovery, self-improvement, graphic design, games, books, Warhammer lore, memes, and basically any community that might tickly me fancy.

Glad to be here! Oh, and Mr. $ can go #*!@& his API.

EDIT: a letter.

👋 - Have mostly been lurking various lemmy instances (beehaw, lemmy.world, …) and finally decided on creating an account here! Looks like I will need to create multiple accounts though due to defederation on some instances. No biggie, lol.

Hope to contribute content here and keep lemmy alive and well even as Reddit management is threatening many subreddits to open back up.

Well ok… I’m an old timer who’s been around the ‘net since the days of dialup, when FIDO and local BBSs were the Next Big Thing. I’ve always preferred to avoid corporate services, and the Late Unpleasantness on the alien site and the bird site have only made me more sure that’s the right stance.

Other than that, I’ve been a Trekkie forever. I love sci-fi, fantasy, and the paranormal. I enjoy a good ghost story, a smooth scotch, and a vintage fountain pen. Coffee is liquid gold. Everything else is subject to change without notice.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Looks like you’ve got it under control.
