Holy shit. How did you get to know about Lemmy and why did you join?
Not OP but reddit and the piracy subreddit
At the time I knew what the fediverse was and I was using Mastodon quite consistently, and I was waiting for a federated alternative to reddit. Raddle at the time was already a thing, but federation was not on their roadmap.
As per how I found it... here's a comment from four years ago :)
Why it say 4y ago but account created 2023?
Instance admins can change literally any of that information in the database. There's a user whose account info says she's been on lemmy for a century.
You might be correct, although I would have expected the 4y ago part to not be a column in the database.
It would more likely have a CreatedAt column of type DateTime. Then using something like moment in the client you can format to show the date and time since, which makes it strange here that we seemingly have CreatedAt and TimeSinceCreation columns which is odd no?
There's nothing to stop them changing the creation date though
Just a couple months - around July 2023. No point in being on Reddit anymore since I got a sitewide ban for not being an Andrew tate fan.
Rapist psycho misogynists deserve to have a horrible penetrative thing happen to them in prison. Iβm not sorry.
Fuck Andrew Tate but an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind fam.
The hero we need, but not the one we deserve
huh I'm close
Are you one of the Elders of the Internet?

Just since The Incident at the Other Place.
Before the dark times. Before the Empire.
In the before times, in the long long ago
Since June 13, 2023.
2023 / 13 * 6 produces a cool repeating pattern of 692307:

I created my account last year but only started using it properly during the APIcalypse
June 22nd, 2023.
I was simultaneously desperately hoping RIF for Reddit wouldn't die...
Now however, I'm still sad about RIF, but very happy about being here on Lemmy!

Since the mighty exodus. Iβve not been back to that other place, I donβt spend as much time on here as I did there which is a win for me.
16 June 2023 - my account appears newer than that because I switched instance.
Longer than I thought. When I tried to register I was annoyed that the username was taken, but it turned out they also dropped the info in my password manager back in 2021!
since the beginning of time! Like 2 months ago, it was a Tuesday I think.
Since January 2021. I left Lemmy for about a year, then came back during the Reddit blackout.
June 1st, 2023 = 102 days
My very first account was in Feb of 2022, but i kinda abandoned it until the 3rd party apps blackout on June 12. Then i came back and really started to kick the tires.
3 days now. I miss the abuse of reddit. Jk
Since the day before the Reddit strike⦠so mid June?
3 months.
2-3 months I think? I could check, but that's just too much effort.
Like it a lot so far though!
June 7th, 2023
I signed up to see what it was about during the Redditmageddon. I'm still on both sites and always will be though.
See my cake day.
December of 2022. I was moving away from closed-source social media, and after Twitter -> Mastodon, Reddit was next. I didn't become active til the whole API thing tho, because Lemmy didn't have some communities that I liked. So I made one lol
Just a few months ago.
27th August 2023
I knew about Lemmy for nearly 2 years prior to The Blackout and slowly gained some traction after the birth of the instance I created my account in (which started as a subreddit but for reasons around one year ago their exodus began)
Two years, apparently. I posted like two comments and came back after the Reddit API crisis to never look back.
an hour.
hi
(to be fair i did check things out here every once in a while since the api debacle but i didn't sign up until now)
