Title says it all!? I'm a reddit refuge and picked this instance because it's A) Canadian (I'm in MN, so consider myself an honorary Canadian), and B) The clean energy thing.

Applied to Beehaw but never heard back. Dittos on Lemmy.ML!

So hoping this is going to be a great "home" away from Reddit for the foreseeable future.

Cheers, and well done on the instance, admins!

It Just Works!

Been here since almost the first day the server opened up: what makes this place different is our ruleset, admin and users.

Ruleset: Very simple and basic. @TheDude doesn't want to over-moderate, as far as I can tell. No need to tone-police or clamp down on what people can/can't say, as long as it's respectful. I really like that approach.

The admin: From his posts and the sheer rock-solid stability of this server and laid-back attitude, the dude abides. I know I'm not the only one who joined because of this post. Networking experts, server admins, devops guys, if they're anything like me, they look at that and think "Yup, this is where I wanna be".

Users: Early days yet, but so far the people here have been very laid-back, very nice, and helpful. Been trying to get all the newbies situated myself whenever I spot questions I can answer :) I'm hoping we can maintain this culture going forward.

Renewable energy seemed good.

I'm on a different instance, but I figured I would just say hello to a fellow Minnesotan!

Well, as a french speaking person that is the only EN/FR server i found :)

Me too. When I saw the bilingual introduction, I was like "hell yeah count me in"

As an anglophone in QC, i was drawn to the openness to embracing the french language

I like Canada even if I'm not from it. Plus it seems like a nice quiet place to call a Lemmy home and figure this whole thing out without being overwhelmed. Like, peer into the All and go "whoa man" then just hit Local and chill for a bit.

Also a Reddit refuge. Just deleted a 6 year old account and all its content. It was a bit bittersweet but alas, it was time to move on with all that's happened. Also applied to Beehaw and Lemmy.ml but can imagine it might be a bit swamped as didn't hear back, so here I am. Glad to be here.

"this instance" :) I see you're on sh.itjust.works. I'm currently posting from fedia.io. Theoretically all the "fediverse" instances should interact with one another.

MN here too... enjoying Lemmy thus far

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

I've been using this instance for the last few days, and (sh)it just works without hassle!

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

Great domain, site is responsive (after I tried couple others)
