Howdy y'all. Central Illinoisan, reddfugee, & night shift worker. They/she.

Currently glutting on various cyberpunk media in anticipation of DMing a tabletop rpg for a group of friends that I met at the local kink dungeon. Last night I watched a Japanese cyberpunk musical from 1982 called Burst City, which was beautifully chaotic, & then started rereading Neuromancer on audiobook (just finished rereading Altered Carbon.)

I'd give up a kidney for a sequel to the Return of the Obra Dinn. Just putting that energy into the universe.

Hello everyone. I'm from S.E. Michigan, north of Detroit. I happened across these communities by accident. I don't like to troll or harass. I was raised with old morals, treat others as you would like to be treated, respect is not given, it is earned and so on.

Hope ya'll have a great day.

Chicago resident, pizza enthusiast, web3 maximalist, excited to break free of Reddit 🤙

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

St. Louis metro area checking in. Long time Reddit user transitioning away from that site. IT guy. Older but not cantankerous (yet) : ) I like board games, playing and listening to music, hanging with the family, gadgets, Linux, 3D printing, homebrewing, blah blah blah.

Hey everyone. I am yet another migrant from reddit hoping for c/kansascity to grow into a full, active community like we once were on reddit.

What up doe!

From Detroit - waiting for some good communities for Techno, Bicycle Touring, Backpacking, and SynthDIY. Excited to start this journey on a new platform which feels very good to be on so far. Hoping for a bright future :) :)

I am from Bloomington Indiana and I am originally from St. Louis. I do a lot of natural language processing for my day job and as part of my PhD. I am into homelabbing, coffee roasting and gardening. I'm hoping to link up with some other Blooomingtonians on here if they're around.

Just another in the Reddit exodus. Southern Indiana. I enjoy gaming and programming. In my spare time I enjoy working on anything with an engine. Although since my back went out the most of the work has been light stuff.

I'm new to Lemmy and the Fediverse been here a whole 3 days! I'm usually a lurker but will occasionally comment. Thanks everyone!

o/ Chicago native investigating potential alternatives now that 3rd party apps on reddit are getting nuked. Happy to chat, and interested in hearing more :)

Hello, I'm Brian Lawson and live in Lebanon, IN (just a little NW of Indy). I'm the owner of the hoosier.social Mastodon instance and am expanding my reach a little further into the Fediverse.

I'm pretty much going to echo a lot of the same sentiments. I expect my Reddit usage will plummet when the third party apps are killed so I've gotta waste time somewhere.

I'm a long time, old school nerd. Tabletop games, video games, fantasy books, enough programming know how to make lives difficult, all that kinda thing.

Been rereading some old Spider-Man comics on Marvel unlimited lately. I've probably got a bit of a Tears of the Kingdom addiction going on as well. There's plenty more about me and I'm hoping this will be a fun, new internet home for the immediate future.

Reddit emigrant here, exploring the site (or should I say federated sites?) Seems promising though! As for myself, residing in Columbus, OH. Hope to interact with some other cool midwesterners.

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

Indiana/Ohio native here. Interests include tech, cooking, running, and nature. Been on the Fediverse for a while and figured I'd give Lemmy a try.

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

Former midwesterner, moved out of Columbus, OH with my wife to be closer to her family in PA, so midwest adjacent. Also 100% new to the fediverse (looked it up and explored it just this morning), and loving every corner I've visited so far.

I'm a tech/gaming enthusiast, who works from home, and also happens to live on a 170+ year old 12(ish) acre farmette just outside of Gettysburg, so I will be hunting down the garden and farming posts on here o.o

Howdy! I'm from NE Ohio,I've to see more midwesterners on fedi!

Hi, I'm Fuzzy!

I'm a network engineer from northwestern Indiana (but not "the region"). Basically same story as a lot of new people, I've been a reddit user for 7 years (80% Baconreader 20% old.reddit) and with the API changes I'll probably be using reddit a lot less. So I'm looking for some new site to waste my phone battery while I wait on switch reloads.

Still a little confused about how the servers vs communities work in my short time here but I'm sure I'll figure it out.

Hi there! Another refugee checking in [35F IL]. On the other site I mostly participated in sports discussions, issues affecting women over 30, some crafty/journaling things, and lurked hard on local food recommendations, tattoos, funny Bravo tv discussions, and some gaming spaces (mostly wownoob). I spend my non-working time gaming, napping, art journaling, learning, and have recently started watching anime. Looking forward to more of the same, here!
