Yes, very happy so far. I haven’t posted this much even on Reddit.
Definitely has felt like a more welcoming community. Each comment on Reddit I made I had to mentally brace for the inevitable bot and troll replies. Constant fights.
Here I haven't seen much of it. Some people honestly trying to understand my points of view! Very refreshing
Hi former redditor here. I shall now insult your mother to help you feel at home.
Here it comes.
Are you ready?
I hope you are ready.
Your mother is slightly overweight.
I hope this helps in the transition process .
Wow! It's like I'm on Reddit!
One of the great things is no adds. No matter how I tried to block the “he gets us” add it always got me back.
That’s a small part of why Apollo was so great. You just got what you asked for, plus a lil pixel pal at the end there. RIP Hector the Bat
Haha. You triggered me, now for a vicious verbal attack...
Glad you’re here! I was a Reddit 1%’r and left when the3rd party apps were killed off. Wasn’t sure where I was going to go but I knew it wasn’t there.
Ram across a post on arstechnica about this app and the feddiverse, and here I am.
I can tell the paint isn’t even dry yet but damn, I’m happy to be here, too.
I ran across a couple of comments on Ars Technica that mentioned moving to Lemmy. I'd never heard of it before.
My inner pessimist tells me that it won't last and it'll only get worse as more and more people come.
I never posted my photography on Reddit because I knew it would be 3 votes and forgotten in a sea of botted "professionals" trying to get their pictures on r/all. I feel here I get a lot of appreciation from real people and the comments are thoughtful and kind.
Great photos! I’d follow you if I could.
Oh! Are you on Mastodon?

Hi sorry! I missed this message. I am on Mastodon, but mainly just reading. Thanks for the kind words!

I'm posting a lot more here than on Reddit. There was less motivation to post there, for one a post can get buried in minutes so it can be like talking to a wall. Then there's the hostility if a post does get play.
