It's been really lovely here. This is honestly the first time in recent memory that I haven't had to carefully curate everything to filter out the absolute shite. I've enjoyed having a slower paced place to keep up with news and just have a chat
- Fully agree, its lovely not to have promoted posts everywhere too
Not wanting to start a rivalry or anything (really, choice is the great thing about the fediverse!) but while we're small wouldn't it be best to back [email protected] since it's much more established?
- I dont see any reason not to have both haha
  
  The possibility for multiple communities is definitely not a drawback especially as the platform grows, but for now it's good to have everyone aware of the communities that are out there.
  
  I'm definitely staying subscribed to both (and the one on kbin as well).
- I concur 🙂
  
  You would 😉
12 years on Reddit - joined in the big Digg meltdown. Deleted both my Reddit accounts this morning. Feel better already. Lets hope the Fediverse really is the fix for big corp owning the online "common space" . .
As a reddit lurker it's kinda hard to make the jump, maybe I'll just have to actually participate.

Be the content you want to see in the world
- I was reddit lurker. There is a lot less content here, which has it's upsides and downsides.
  
  I've enjoyed contributing here and have come to recognise names. It's a bit more fulfilling than just consuming memes haha.
I am really interested in getting an app to access this site but really liking it so far.

Glad to see the sun has moved over here. Love you all
- Jerboa on android is working well again for me, now the instance's been updated.
  
  Its now raining here, just beacuse you mentioned the sun of course
  
  Unfortunately I am an iPhone user so not cool enough for Jerboa :(
  
  Haha typical British weather!!! Hope it’s nice on Wednesday, I’ve got my citizenship ceremony.
- As well as Jerboa on Android, Ive also tried Liftoff, Thunder, and Slide for Lemmy.
  
  Liftoff is the best I've found after a bit of customising.
Everything see.s to be going just fine - it feels a lot easier to get going here as you follow communities not people, so the content flows better.

Using the web version and Jerboa, testing Slide which is already looking promising.
I’m liking it - nice vibe so far. I’m using the wefwef web app to browse, too, and it’s excellent if you’re used to something like Apollo.
- Absolutely, I was skeptical of using wefwef, I’d prefer a dedicated app. But the look and feel are spot on.
