Hey, y'all! I'm evergreen. 26 years old, transfem (she/her), reddit migrant, autism haver (and ADHD haver, among other things.) I like to hang out on 196, and my current hyperfixation is Zelda (particularly Tears of the Kingdom.) I moderate two magazines by default (since I created them:) Deltarune and Zelink.

I’m a Redditor searching for new grounds, my online alias almost anywhere is lilfruini.

I’ve kind of been drifting around these past few days. I’m getting better, but I’ve been dealing with thoughts for the past couple of days that I’m not sure how to handle, and I screwed up so so bad…

Life is going on around me. I like playing Switch and 3DS games, video editing essays or meme stuff, going away from home to classes, and talking with a lot of thoughts, for better or for worse.

I look forward to meeting you all.

Hi,

I’m trying to decide if kbin or lemmy is the place to be. I really like the beehaw community over there but I’m a bit put off due to the whole stuff surrounding the devs behind the lemmy code base.

Just trying to my find my way around the kbin interface and make sure I’m subscribed to a bunch of “magazines” - will try to be active here as well as beehaw (lemmy) so I can give both systems a proper shake down.

About me: I live in the UK, enjoy nerdy things like SciFi, D&D and tinkering with tech etc but don’t get much time to engage in hobbies as I’m a parent to a demanding toddler (well.. nearly not a toddler now I guess. Little kid)

Hello everyone! I'm Osvaldo and I like sports, reading and specially drawing. I've got invited to fediverse by my friend, and since the other social medias became super complicated to comunicate and make more friends (and ofc get more people looking at my arts), it became interesting to me to try here.

In case you want to see my arts and all you can check my links in here: https://linktr.ee/osvaldoilustrador

Although I am posting here, in Pixelfed and in Mastodon.Art. As of rn I'm liking here a lot, I see big potential for real.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yoo, I'm Osvaldo, I draw and I like pizza

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Hey I’m Stoat, I was a lurker on the league forums for several years and I’m hoping to be a bit more active on these random topic posts. Video games and hiking are my primary hobbies.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Hey everyone! I’m a Reddit refugee as well. I joined Reddit just after Digg collapsed and I left because I’m upset with how they’re treating the third party app devs (I used Apollo) and I really disliked the direction they were moving towards pushing advertising on its users.

I’m only now learning about the Fediverse and it’s been a neat experience! I’m excited to see how this site evolves and am really hoping that kbin, Lemmy, etc. continue to grow past the blackout!

My interests include reading, swimming, playing the piano, and watching baseball :)

Hello, I'm Guy, a recent Reddit refugee. I spent my first little while lurking around, but this seems like a really nice community.
I see a lot of Apollo refugees around here, anybody from Infinity?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Welcome Guy! Glad you decided to make an account here and joined us. I haven't used Infinity before, ended up using Sync for Reddit (on Android) for many years, but like the rest of them it's on the way out as well.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, we're all on the same ship. The first casualties of Reddit's enshitification.

I'd recommend trying it out, but with everything being on its way out, there's no point now haha

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Hi! I was never a Reddit user, but heard about this place after Reddit blew up a few days ago and got interested in checking it out.

I'm in Colorado, an electrical engineer but working an IT job. Ham radio operator. Electronics tinkerer. I enjoy reading and watching sci-fi. And, believe it or not, I collect engineering and math textbooks.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

O hai!
I am a Rexxiter, though I deleted my account back in 2015.

Interested in tech, linux, games, "2010 reddit conversations/threads/interactions (the first reddit worldwide meetup day was an absolute blast)", and I'm glad to be here.

Over the past year, I've been trying to get into overlanding, but it's piecemeal and slow since money is expensive and the weather out here is crap for 2/3 of the year.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I am Kingdogethe42nd, Reddit refugee (using it since 2016). I think I am starting to grasp the whole fediverse now, but I think I’m still not entirely there yet

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Welcome to kbin! I think I have kbin mostly figured out, but I'm still learning new stuff daily. If you have any questions I will try my best to help out.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Like many others, fleeing the flaming chaos of reddit, hoping that there will emerge an organic and engaging community here. Much as I prefer lurking by nature, I'm aware that these places only grow when there's participation, so this is me joining in.

I have an eclectic range of interests and hobbies, and really need to work on my small talk/casual chatting skills rather than overthinking things. So hi all!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hi! You sound like me haha
Too guilty of lurking, peppering in thr occasional comment here and there.
Nice to see someone on the same journey as me to try to engage this community better

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Community engagement ftw! And yeah, it can be hard to break old habits, but where better to try it than in a new and growing place like this.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Exactly. Fresh slate, might as well go for it haha

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Hi everyone! I am a reddit refugee too, supporting the API change protest with all my heart. It's nice to see a new platform developing!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

What's up, I'm Mars

Came here because of...well, Reddit like everyone else. Too much drama going on over there lol, so I'm here looking for a more relaxed online environment. I have a lot of hobbies, but a few are skateboarding, guitar, reading, tech, hip-hop music, cars, language learning, and astronomy. Not completely new to the Fediverse as I've had a Mastodon account for a couple months now (though I'm not very active there). Found kbin and thought it looked cool, so I went ahead and made an account.

Looking forward to having a great time with you all.

Hi all, I'm Gaz. A long(ish) time redditor jumping ship. 40 something tech enthusiast, Minecrafter, Amateur Photographer.

It's hard leaving Reddit as it's been an important part of my life. Being mostly housebound it's a window to the world. Kbin is looking great though. Really hope it grows but manages to keep to it's core values.

I'm forcing myself to post here as I naturally default to being introverted.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Welcome to Kbin!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Hello, Gaz! I'm forcing myself to be less of a lurker too. I've used Reddit for over a decade, and it's truly been the most consistent form of comfort to me. I'm scared and angry, but also excited to see where this goes!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hello everyone! I'm a programmer and nightowl (it's 1:30 here and I'm supposed to work tomorrow, FML), and I'd like to contribute to kbin development sometime in the future. I like anime, star wars and video games (the best star wars game is Kotor 2 btw). The reason I chose kbin after initially moving from reddit to lemmy is that I'd rather not associate with tankies.

Heya!, VulcanSphere is here, Interests including watching anime, reading manga, playing video games, watching motorsport, and listening to diverse range of music. Have a somewhat unhealthy obsession with cyberpunk and its aesthetic (night city, neon lights, and rain)

Favourite anime of all time is Serial Experiments Lain.

Favourite video games series of all time is Ace Combat.

Favourite music subgenres including (but not limited to) visual kei, intelligent dance music/braindance, shoegaze, black metal, Japanese speedcore, smooth jazz, and contemporary classical.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Based on the replies to your comment, I'm convinced to watch Lain

Just created the Lain magazine :)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I swear people who knows lain exists only on the internet. I don't know anyone who has even heard if it, despite listening to duvet. Anyways Japanese speedcore seems like it's up my alley, will check out
