It's actually quite nice, conversations seem like you can get heard and people are generous with upvotes. It's like Reddit was in 2010, but it's been that way for a couple years (for me) now. I hope it continues.

Welcome. It's smaller, but the people are better. Most of them, anyway. Sometimes some of them are brilliant and amazing, just like on Reddit. Sometimes some of them suck (sometimes including me) but it's not so overwhelming because there aren't as many. Small is beautiful, even if it is a little quieter than you're used to. You'll get used to it though, and it's better for your mental health.

We're glad you are here!

Welcome!

Welcome and go fuck yourself /s

Welcome! This is a real place with real people. Far less rage bait and bots.

Welcome! You better pick a favorite Linux distro to argue about in the comments :D

Heck yeah! I've been trying to actively make the switch too. Getting away from big-tech algorithmically-driven social media platforms feels very nice. I do miss a few of the communities I was a part of that don't have a counterpart here, but I'll get used to it eventually.

The community here is much nicer than reddit currently is. It feels more tight-knit. Almost like reddit was twelve or thirteen years ago.

In Australia, your username is a reference to dangerous Ford Ranger car drivers.

Welcome!

Keep in mind there's no algorithm pushing things on us here, so it's best to seek out and subscribe to as many communities as you have interests. :) If there's a niche community on Reddit that you miss having here, consider making it yourself. Also, the most you can post and comment the better!

One thing that's nice about the Fediverse compared to corporate social media is that there is far less bullshit, fewer ancient reposts by people pretending to post original content, almost no AI slop, etc... It's really nice, in my opinion. Reddit certainly has a larger quantity of stuff, but I think modernly the quality has become quite low.

Nice to have you.

The more the merrier! Glad you're here :)

Congrats on making the jump! Have a nice time with us on Lemmy and Piefed.

One of us!

I deleted my Facebook after downloading all of my files, same with reddit. Never going back. Currently dropping Google as much as I can and it has been a major headache figuring things out and transferring... I think it'll be worth it. Wish a lot more people would do the same.

hope you like beans

Paul is that you?

Send Ringo my love

Nice.

Welcome to the family!

Welcome! You’ll see the same people over and over again, but it’s really nice.

Enjoy your time and contribute! I only try to contribute with comments and not too much content, but maybe eventually.

Welcome!

Please, help growing Lemmy/PieFed. Create content and engage!

Welcome aboard Ranger !

Don't ever forget why you left. If you don't like something, be part of the solution.

Hope you have a great time here!

Off topic but your username almost matches my current DnD character: Ranger Dangerfield, a level 6 Ranger.

Welcome, friend :).

Welcome, fellow PieFed user! Our group is smaller, but that means you can have a bigger impact here. If you don't see enough of a type of content, try to post some here yourself. A little push can send us far.

Welcome in! There's lots to enjoy about Lemmy. Hope you come to see it's value over time.

If you have any questions, like how federation (i.e. Fediverse) works or how to block, let me know!

Welcome, fren! :3

Well good to have you here! Enjoy my friend!

Congrats and welcome.
