I have been on the edge with twitter and reddit for a while and I have finally deleted my accounts that I have had for a very long time there. They are no longer the places I used to know, even more so with twitter. I am ready for my new time here and on mastodon.

Hello Lemmy

I still use Twitter occasionally, not as much as before, even because I lost interest in many topics I followed before.

I almost cut out Reddit too, since 3th party apps still work at the moment, but when that moment comes I will drop it without any doubts.

Ah, almost forgot, welcome to Lemmy. :)

Recently signed up for both Lemmy and Mastodon and it's a breath of fresh air after dealing with BS on Twitter and Reddit over the past few years. Welcome!

You're not alone, I've been on Reddit for a long time, 12 years on and off since introduced. Honestly never used it much at all until finding Boost 5 or so years ago and have been a daily user ever since spending at least a few hours a day on it just interacting and commenting. I commented more than I viewed posts lol just was always talking. They've done a lot over the years to irritate me as a user, getting all mecha PC and destroying all my favorite communities should've been when I quit but it wasn't. Half the site turning "blue" when I'm not really into politics, sparking constant political discourse for every comment I made that didn't strictly fit the current blue rhetoric was another straw but I dealt with it and tried to keep my comments as bland as I could while still speaking my mind. But now killing the 3pa and this whole shitshow? Nah, I hate their official app and have only ever even used the site thanks to Boost, before boost my account was unused, so shall it be after boost. You know what, it's mainly bc of how much I hate spez now. It was one thing supporting a company with a blank face that fucked me over at every turn, always blaming the mods, the admins, whoever. But spez? I just can't see helping that guy out in any way after all this.

Welcome to the Fediverse 🌞 I switched to Mastodon after Musk announced to buy the Twitter. It is already over a year ago 🤔

I am new to Lemmy myself, but it looks good

The only thing I still need reddit for is the sports communities. I hope some start getting bigger over here.

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

Is there a fantasy football one that's migrated over?

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

A couple of small ones are starting out here and there: https://lemmyverse.net/communities?query=fantasy+football

Doesn't seem like big communities hopped over yet.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

r/formula1 and r/soccer for me personally

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

There's a Formula 1 community. It's still small, but we can all make it grow. Also, the soccer community managed to grab the football name before the other guys, LOL
