    I am here now. Just signed up. Mod of /r/bicycling, /r/sanfrancisco, and a few other smaller subs. The whole thing is a mess right now, so I wanted to see if there are greener pastures here. Any tips are welcome. I literally have no idea what I’m doing.

    I’ve been here a week or two now. It’s going better than Voat did for me when I last tried to leave Reddit. That was full of alt-right crazies basically, but so far here, people have been lovely.

      This seems like the first thing with enough critical mass to get going, what with reddit and twitter sulimultaneously imploding faster than a poorly constructed submersible craft. It’s not driven by political outrage so much as the old platforms making themselves unusable and forcing healthy users off their platforms.

    I wasn’t thrilled at the idea of leaving Reddit after 14 years but some things cannot be avoided. My first post here on Lemmy. Thank you for the warm welcome!

    My goodness me. This place rocks. Like the way the internet used to be. Fuck corporate greed. Fuck ads. Fuck egocentric dictatorships. And hello to The Future.

    When will we get our own persistently-broken video player? That’s super important for my quality use experience.

    Wait… Where am I? I’m getting withdrawal symptoms. 11 years wandering the Reddit… I’m lost, a little confused, possibly afraid.

      Yeah looks like lemmy.world is slow today. Not surprised due to the influx of users. Ruud and the team has been working on it diligently the last couple of weeks, expanding hardware, writing code, fixing bugs, etc. Please be patient as we grow!

        Naw, an instance is a server that can host content, but it’s connected to every other instance that agrees to federate with each other. You can think of it as an email address, Gmail and Yahoo have their own features but can communicate with each other no problem.
