Today is my second cake day on lemmy!

There are exciting things on the horizon the rapid innovation of piefed, the addition of lemvotes, the amazing tesseract, the useful lemmy-federate, the comfort of voyager... lemmy has lots of promise.

Over these two years I've found some recurring characters here that I enjoy seeing, kinda a small town vibe - I like that.

This is a great place to be!

Once your feed is curated, it’s mostly fun stuff?

Absolutely : Setting block keywords, blocking communities you don't like is critical for having a good lemmy experience. Drinking from the firehose of everyones interest can both be overwhelming and monotonous sometimes.

I've removed all politics, all memes, all internet drama from my feed and I don't think I could go back.

Before lemmy-federate you couldn't get a community to your instance unless someone subscribed to it, so I was subscribing to everything... and my subscriptions wasn't curating my experience.
