I think only linux users moved over here... maybe
Windows user checks in. But I've got to admit, just as with Mastodon, the sign-up process (and finding communities across servers) might scare some people that are not as familiar with computers as most people that are on here now.
That's true.
Honestly, signing up was a horrible experience.
I signed up yesterday. It was not bad at all. No blood oaths or anything.
It took me a few tries over multiple days to sign up successfully
I had swear the First Ideal. The storm light is kinda fun though.

Really? I don't know, I just went to a page and wrote in my data, just like registering on any other page.
It took me about 12 attempts over a few weeks to sign up. It always got stuck at the "submit" and would just load endlessly, but never send the confirmation mail.
Different computers and phones and browsers and happened across multiple servers. ...I can totally see how that drives away a lot of people.
I know a good bit of them did a while back. I think it was in r/opensource or r/linux but a couple years ago they posted about lemmy and I checked it out but I didn't move over to lemmy. I love open source but it's hard to move over to another platform when it doesn't have a user base. Back then it didn't but now I'm all in
I'm here from reddit is fun , I'm on Android and going to try on my windows PC in a minute

What app are you using?
Connect for lemmy and honestly it actually seemed to be working faster than the mobile browser somehow. Not to mention looks better. Also downloaded Jerboa and will try that tomorrow, give each a full day.
Ya that's what I'm on and It's been so buggy for me.
Other apps are saying lemmy.world is using an outdated server version.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Part of me acknowledges that buggy social media is good as I'll be less inclined to use it
I'm using an iMac right now.
