Glad to be with you guys. I was worried that the Internet would be boring after I’ve left Reddit. Well it’s not and it is because of you

I think the focus for devs/the community going forward has to be focusing on how easy it is to get on this platform so it can eventually hit a critical mass of users for regular new content/more active discussions.

I’m using the memmy beta, it was really easy making an account on lemmy.world and logging in on memmy with that but the initial search I did made me think getting set up was a much longer process

And it feels fresh

Many thanks to my son who told me about Lemmy last night. Reddit tab closed. Lemmy tab open.

Even given the circumstances of us being brought here (overt, stubborn, and shameless corporate greed), also glad folks are here. My hopes for lemmy is to be the community center of the internet. Let us not merely be lemmings, let us be lemminites.

Except Dave. You know what you did.

The avid and intelligent discussions I see on Lemmy are heartwarming in itself. Ngl, I never really got that with R*****. Lemmy feels like home. Just wish I would've been apart of it earlier than a few weeks ago

Thank you for being here with us!

Using lemmy is part of the never ending quest of recreating the internet interactions of my youth. When real friends were made on message boards. When things felt like a real group of people, and not so hyperfocused on individual topics so as to ignore the people behind the words.

Lemmy feels good so far

I'm just trying to find the snack bar.

Been loving seeing how active this place is getting, I didn't post often on Reddit but this just feels better somewhow, and I feel more inclined to comment on contribute!

I concur still feeling my way around, more mole like than a lemming 😂

username checks out! 😎

Even me? Wow

I think Lemmy is really cool, and I'm excited to see where it goes from here!

Remember, you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.

I was finally able to log in!! My other email address never received the verification email and I couldn't resend it for some reason...

I'm doing my part!

The performance seems to be a lot better than it was a few days ago as well :) I am not sure if it is because it is daytime and everyone is working but either way!

ETA: Thanks for all the hard work!
