Dude... Like....
Duuuude...
I don't know how to phrase this, but Reddit was getting filled with... Normal people? Nongeeks? The socially adept?
I'm sooo glad to be back with silly peeps. I missed that sense of critical self awareness haha. And I've been able to express some controversial opinions without getting locked and banned, which is mellowing as fuck.
When they first started joining Reddit, I thought of them as FaceBookers fleeing their parents and grandparents.
That said, I am part of this new wave here. I have tried 3 separate times over the last few years to join the Fediverse but always ended up on instances that lacked content that was relevant to me. It almost went the same way this time when I joined kbin.social but I decided to try lemmy.world also and found a lot more communities that interested me here.
Incidentally, as I understand it kbin.social should have been fine for me but was temporarily suppressing the feeds from other instances to help deal with the new wave.
You can view lemmy communities from kbin too.
On Lemmy make sure you sort by all, not local
