Still getting my head around it. Hoping more interesting content comes about and we can put the memes/discussion of Reddit to bed!

Even given the circumstances of us being brought here (overt, stubborn, and shameless corporate greed), also glad folks are here. My hopes for lemmy is to be the community center of the internet. Let us not merely be lemmings, let us be lemminites.
Glad to be with you guys. I was worried that the Internet would be boring after Iβve left Reddit. Well itβs not and it is because of you
Many thanks to my son who told me about Lemmy last night. Reddit tab closed. Lemmy tab open.
Thank you for being here with us!
Started using lemmy during the beginning of the protests. Went back to RIF about a week later. Now back to Lemmy after apps were killed. It's definitely helping to full the hole left by RIF, but it's not quite the same.
Some of my favorite discussion topics on reddit were the comments on subreddits like AITH and MaliciousCompliance, and while they are here, they don't quite feel the same.
Still adjusting, and in a way, grieving the loss of the social media platform I used for over 10 years. But I've also been spending less time scrolling and more time with my other hobbies. So that's a net positive I guess.
Been loving seeing how active this place is getting, I didn't post often on Reddit but this just feels better somewhow, and I feel more inclined to comment on contribute!
I concur still feeling my way around, more mole like than a lemming π
I'm just trying to find the snack bar.
The avid and intelligent discussions I see on Lemmy are heartwarming in itself. Ngl, I never really got that with R*****. Lemmy feels like home. Just wish I would've been apart of it earlier than a few weeks ago
Even me? Wow
I was finally able to log in!! My other email address never received the verification email and I couldn't resend it for some reason...
Remember, you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.
I think Lemmy is really cool, and I'm excited to see where it goes from here!
username checks out! π
And thanks to all the people developing! Either Lemmy itself or all the apps to read it.
Shoutout to aeharding for wefwef. Not sure if Iβd be sticking around if not for the Apollo-like experience theyβre bringing to Lemmy!
Thanks so much!

Thou art Lemmy. I am Lemmy. All that groks is Lemmy.
The performance seems to be a lot better than it was a few days ago as well :) I am not sure if it is because it is daytime and everyone is working but either way!
ETA: Thanks for all the hard work!
You're welcome
