Now that a lot of 3rd party apps for reddit have shut down there have been loads of new users joining the various Lemmy instances. So who got here today and what has been your experience so far?

I'm here to help should you have any questions about Lemmy, lemmy.world or life in general (I can not really recommend that last one).

Anyway, welcome! Hope you enjoy your stay 😁

EDIT: I created seperated threads for this not too long ago but I think it's useful to post them again.

Some things might still be confusing to people, I read a comment below about someone not knowing how to browse content from different instances for example. I really suggest you read this post by lemmy.world admin @ruud which does a wonderful job to explain a lot of it.
If you're wondering what 3rd party apps there are available, this thread seems to list them all!

Came from Reddit following advice from my dad. He knows nothing of Reddit but follows movements in society. I told him about Reddit and how they treated some developers. He knew about it trough a colleague and asked me if I knew about Lemmy.

I used Reddit mostly for Synology/unraid/memes as a lurker. Now I try to post more 😇

Cool dad you have!

Yeah I was surprised he knew about it. Then again it was picked up by mainstream media (shows how Reddit mis calculated this )
