Im joining in on the reddit ditching thing, and was kinda worried at first that i wouldnt be able to like use it the way i did reddit as it feels like a whole new place, but after engaging with posts and people and actually being a part of lemmy rather than being lurk mode all the time i was pleasantly surprised with how easy it is to become a member of the community, theres a reasonable amount of subs (or whatever the other word for em is) that fit my interests, enough linux content and shitposting for my liking, and the overall random posts made by people equally fed up with Leddit. (also i admit i used reddit a little cus there was this post on the fedora sub showing how to fix a sound issue i been having after a recent update)

Well, I'm here !

I have removed my Reddit account after 10yrs + 100k + karma and more hours invested than I would like to admit.

This time, I'm legit done with the place. I don't like where they are headed and decided to give Lemmy a go.

So far, so good :)

I got my account approved and I'm good to go. This is my first comment of many, many more to come.

Good to be here folks...

Is there a way to find when new instances or communities come online?

I can't answer your question, but I have a question for you.

Are you like, a man who is a cat, or a man who has a bunch of cats?

Yes. ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿฆฏ๐Ÿ…๐Ÿ†๐Ÿˆ๐Ÿ…๐Ÿ†๐Ÿ†๐Ÿ†๐Ÿˆ๐Ÿˆ๐Ÿ†๐Ÿ…๐Ÿ†๐Ÿ…๐Ÿˆ๐Ÿ†๐Ÿ…

Welcome! Same boat here, wiped several decade+ old accounts today. Sad but... the community here seems great. Lacking on the cat gifs and tiktok reposts etc for sure, but that's not why I loved reddit either.
