My first post as a refugee! Glad this place is here to fill the void.

    I came over when the blackout started and it already feels more like home than Reddit has in years. Reddit slowly got more and more toxic/up its own ass as time went on….. like do you remember the episode of South Park where Kyle’s family moves to San Francisco? It was the Prius episode…. All the folks in San Fran sat around all day getting high and sniffing their own farts. That’s how Reddit has felt recently.

    This change has been a long time coming I think, fuckin spez just threw some gas on a fire to try and make a quick buck.

    Welcome!

    I was in denial about Apollo going dark and naturally when I woke up at 2am I had to spend 2 hours finding & getting lemmy & wefwef setup.

    Bye bye reddit!

    We used to struggle without our beloved pre built subreddits!

    We had to pray to our instance develop lords with praise for giving us space!

    Fr fr tho this experience is historical and I'm learning just as much as you! I learn if there's a community missing that you used to frequent, make it yourself!

    I ended up making !onepiece@lemm.ee to fill my GOAT manga needs

    You're all the technology-savvy intelligent ones who figured out Lemmy right away, months ago. I was trying to get into Lemmy even before July 1st but finally figured it out today November 10th! I finally got into Lemmy today. It was nearly as difficult as applying & repeatedly being rejected for competitive employment somewhere. sheesh.

    This whole fediverse thing is a bit strange after 10 years of rif. But Reddit was going downhill for quite a while. Hope this takes off!

    Second ever comment here. I watched Apollo shut down live, went to sleep and then immediately tried opening it up again after waking up, out of habit - girlfriends still asleep and I got so used to browsing Reddit for a bit before we get up on weekends, it has become muscle memory.

    Using Wefwef currently and it’s nice, awesome work especially for a web app.

    Nice to have a new place to hang my virtual coat and peer into the endless void of the internet.

    I joined a few weeks ago but after RIF died just over an hour ago it looks like I've found my new home.

    I straight up don't know how to use Lemmy. I feel like I need to relearn how to ride a bike.

  • I've been here for a bit more than a week now and my biggest advice and is to take it as it is. Take a deep breath, accept that this is Lemmy and not something else, and that you're feeling it out. This is not relearning a bike, this is getting in a peddle boat for the first time. Similar, yes, but also it's own thing.

    Are this active users? (Commenting/posting) or just traffic?

    I ask as I spent time in different servers looking for one I liked before making an account, so it took a while before I became an 'active user'

    I'm just glad I found a server that allowed me to register. Been trying for weeks. Lemmy.ml is closed for registration. Lemmy.world just spins when you hit the register button. Another instance just said my registration was pending.

    I just joined after Apollo stopped working. I’ve been over at squabbles since the black out. No idea how this place works. Excited to dig in and figure it out though!

    Was browsing Apollo, it ceased, I opened the Reddit app once, closed it, signed up for Lemmy.
