There has been a steady trickle of new users here today, and in the past little while, mostly due to the bad decisions that reddit is currently making.

Anyways, welcome! Feel free to look around, and if you have any questions about anything lemmy related, feel free to ask!

Also, if you feel up to it, introduce yourself in the comments below!

edit: Here's a nice getting started guide for lemmy: https://tech.michaelaltfield.net/2023/06/11/lemmy-migration-find-subreddits-communities/

I am so pleased to find a suitable alternative to reddit. Before reddit I mostly just visited Slashdot - And I've been going back recently as well. I hope to frequent lemmy + slashdot now.

Just curious to hear from any long-time users what expectations might need to be managed for a new user to lemmy/fediverse.

in my opinion, lemmy is still pretty young in terms of features. most of the basic features are there, but i'm sure there will be some things from reddit that people will miss.

it will also be interesting to see if our servers are able to handle the potential upcoming surge of users. i will try and be as transparent as I can if the server is struggling to keep up!
