Futurama

First time posting after 9 solid years on Reddit. Thanks for the welcome

I am here now. Just signed up. Mod of /r/bicycling, /r/sanfrancisco, and a few other smaller subs. The whole thing is a mess right now, so I wanted to see if there are greener pastures here. Any tips are welcome. I literally have no idea what I'm doing.

I've been here a week or two now. It's going better than Voat did for me when I last tried to leave Reddit. That was full of alt-right crazies basically, but so far here, people have been lovely.

I wasn't thrilled at the idea of leaving Reddit after 14 years but some things cannot be avoided. My first post here on Lemmy. Thank you for the warm welcome!

My goodness me. This place rocks. Like the way the internet used to be. Fuck corporate greed. Fuck ads. Fuck egocentric dictatorships. And hello to The Future.

When will we get our own persistently-broken video player? That's super important for my quality use experience.

Thanks, so far Lemmy is looking like an interesting place with good vibes all round!

Closed Reddit account and embarking on this new adventure with lemmy.

This atmosphere has good vibe. Goodbye RIF, hello Lemmy 👋

Wait... Where am I? I'm getting withdrawal symptoms. 11 years wandering the Reddit... I'm lost, a little confused, possibly afraid.

Hey, hello community this is my first comment on Lemmy, good to see you all.

Hiii im here from reddit but, when i tried to post the post has been being uploaded for the past 2 hours, also loading communities and upvoting has been EXTREMELY slow ;'D

btw this is a hella cool site

Redditor here. Feeling a little lost and confused. :)

Thanks! I mostly lurked on reddit for many years (as a Digg refugee), and I want to try and get out of that rut and actually contribute some content here. Wish me luck!

Former reddit user here. I hope that this site grows and prospers and I look forward to discovering replacement communities for subreddits I've used.

Thank you for the welcome.

Bye bye Reddit. Hope they collapse after getting rid of 3rd party apps. Reddit is Fun was my shit. I gotta find a Lemmy equivalent so I can get off my phone's web browser.

I'm going to build my own Reddit, with blackjack and hookers!

First post! 🤸

Bathroom's that way.

Really hope this takes off and remains open and non-commercial.

Cautiously optimistic about the migration. Reddit had gotten pretty weird.

I sense a real opportunity for the Fediverse off the back of Reddit and third party apps porting across.

If the UX (user experience) is similar then it'll more than likely pull people across.

So far the communities have been extremely friendly and it is a breath of fresh air

Incoming user from reddit! My app got shut down. I was salty about it so I decided that I was going to find an alternative, rather than use the official app, and I found lemmy! I like the community vibe so far. I'm still figuring out how different communities and instances work together with federating. I was always more of a lurker on reddit, but I might try to become a more active commenter (for community engagement!)

Nothing better than being greeted with Futurama, for the Fediverse when new episodes of Futurama drop in July! (I'm extremely excited for the new season)

Lasted one day on the official reddit app. Sadly the readability of it with the massive amounts of ads and sponsored posts makes me rather not use reddit at all.

Glad lemmy seems to genuinely be an upcoming alternative!

Well it was a good ride at Reddit. I was using Reddit since since 2006 as a lurker. Lemmy is now my home. Hi all!

Here we go.

im very happy to redditn't

I've only been here for two weeks and already have seen major improvements. Thankful to the admins for their hard work, and glad to see the wonderful people here contributing to this platform's awesome growth. Loving it here and wishing continued success to the fediverse :)

Today was my first day on the Fediverse via Lemmy.world, and I was so happy to see a Futurama Community among the top posts right when I logged in!

I hope it's also okay to say that I just created /c/Disenchantment for my fellow fans of a slightly related show. 😄

Any Futurama fans that also like Disenchantment and our one true Queen Bean please come join!

Rest in peace RIF. I was honestly heartbroken. I know how sad that must sound, but goddamn, I used it daily for 6 years. It made my office hours and daily commute on the subway so much better.

Hello. Glad to be here. I'm not going back to reddit, they nuked Sync for Reddit and I refuse to use reddit app.

Thanks! 11yr RiF user here and using Jerboa now, it's different but similar feeling:)

I already like the vibe of this place more, at least socially. The site is a bit cumbersome but I'm willing to stick with it to see how it can get better. Plus Sync for Lemmy will be coming and then my life will be fixed.

This all reminds me of the big Digg migration. Reddit likes to think that people chose it because it was special. For a good majority of us, especially the 10+ year accounts, it was Digg's terrible redesign and very poor product decisions. The nail in the coffin was not understanding its core content producing users willingness to move. History repeats itself.

Just migrated from reddit, and I’m really excited to see Lemmy gain popularity and grow! This is about to be my next addiction.

I think registration finally worked this time. Good news, everyone!

Here from RiF! First post on Lemmy, here's to a bright future ^^
