Yep! It takes a minute to get your bearings but it's a great spot. I haven't looked back.

Welcome!

Yeah, had a 12-year-old account and left when they banned 3rd-party apps (RIP Apollo, you were the best!) from using its API. But by that time I was already noticing the enshittification, heard about and joined Lemmy, and haven’t looked back.

Also, the tips from @UNY0N@feddit.org are spot on. Have fun!

@theoriginalmattman@lemmy.world Hello. Welcome to the Fediverse 👋

Me, I was surprised how much better this community is! The number of users is so much smaller, yet the whole experience in many times better. At least that’s how I feel about the whole Lemmy thing. Was postponing this for years, and finally registered my account. (About a year ago, maybe more, I don’t really remember. Feels like that was a very long time ago.)

Welcome aboard!

Well I was on Reddit till they banned me. There are a lot of ex Redditors here I would imagine but this place is what you make it and there are many many social media networks around these days.

yup, here after reddit has been demanding my ID just to do anything upon logging in. miss me with that shit knowing their penchant for data breaches and surveillance

Yep & hello! Deleted my Reddit account just a few minutes ago.
