There has been a steady trickle of new users here today, and in the past little while, mostly due to the bad decisions that reddit is currently making.

Anyways, welcome! Feel free to look around, and if you have any questions about anything lemmy related, feel free to ask!

Also, if you feel up to it, introduce yourself in the comments below!

edit: Here's a nice getting started guide for lemmy: https://tech.michaelaltfield.net/2023/06/11/lemmy-migration-find-subreddits-communities/

For me its

The Martian, and Artemis by Andy Weir
Termination Shock by Neil Stephenson
2001, 2010, 2061, 3001 Odyssey series by Arthur C Clarke
lots of David Brin
lots of Greg Bear
One Second After (series) by William Forstchen
The Wool Omnibus (series) by Hugh Howey
Beacon 23 by Hugh Howey
After Sundown by Linda Howard
Solar Flare by Larry Burkett
etc

I really enjoy books with a solar flare componet due to my being a ham radio op. I also love apocolypse books of nearly any type. Just no zombies as they freak me out

Right on. I'll take a look at these. I've got a bit of a backlog but most will end up on my wishlist.
