    Yep! It takes a minute to get your bearings but it's a great spot. I haven't looked back.

    Welcome!

    Nice.

    Seems quiet here, but I'm so fresh I still haven't figured out feeds etc yet.

    It is quiet here! At least at first. Lemmy does not have millions of users, more like hundreds of thousands. Also, there tends to be a lot of content shared that gets zero comments. This doesn't mean no one cares, it's just that a lot of the content is of the nature "hey, here's a good article about black holes or sea sponges or whatever" and that's it. No need for a discussion, just sharing interesting stuff. (There are definitely discussions like on reddit though depending on topic/community)

    This is a decent video that shows some of the basics.

    Also, you probably have your default setting showing you your "home" feed when you start the app. This only shows you communities/users you have followed (called subscribed here). The "all" feed shows you everything, and "local" shows you everything on your server. Start with "all" until you have figured out at least some aubscriptions.

    Yeah, had a 12-year-old account and left when they banned 3rd-party apps (RIP Apollo, you were the best!) from using its API. But by that time I was already noticing the enshittification, heard about and joined Lemmy, and haven’t looked back.

    Also, the tips from @UNY0N@feddit.org are spot on. Have fun!

    Me, I was surprised how much better this community is! The number of users is so much smaller, yet the whole experience in many times better. At least that’s how I feel about the whole Lemmy thing. Was postponing this for years, and finally registered my account. (About a year ago, maybe more, I don’t really remember. Feels like that was a very long time ago.)

    Welcome aboard!

    Well I was on Reddit till they banned me. There are a lot of ex Redditors here I would imagine but this place is what you make it and there are many many social media networks around these days.
