It's hard being a lurker for so long, I only started interacting with a few smaller subreddits around sporting events and then within a year, all this crap started happening. Feel sorry for all the 3rd party developers, I used Boost and I'm glad I supported the developer over the years but can't believe how they ended up being treated. Death to Reddit
Lemmy
Everything about Lemmy; bugs, gripes, praises, and advocacy.
For discussion about the lemmy.ml instance, go to !meta@lemmy.ml.
Trying my best! I have an account on lemmy.ml but with the increase in traffic I’m barely able to use it! Moving to this one which has already helped. Anyone reading this feel free to send a message and say hi!
Resisting the urge to lurk, it’s making the platform more enjoyable
I feel like leaving reddit is a big change in my life. Hopefully, Lemmy takes off and remains a much more positive place.
Agreed! I am curious with this, how did you guys find out about Lemmy? In my case, I was scrolling through Reddit and saw somebody talking about Lemmy. I researched a little bit and here I am! I would love to hear from y'all tho
Just created a magazine for EASportsFC (formerly FIFA)! I kept looking to see if someone would make a magazine and just said why not make it myself. (insert squidward meme "when i’m in a worst moderator competition and my opponent is NeighborlyNomad")

Scraped my reddit account and here to post Manatee!
I'll wait and see how things go.
Hi all, another Reddit refugee here. Glad to see communities forming!!
I would also suggest starting communities! The bystander effect is strong, dont worry about things too much right now as everything is still relatively small.
Being new here I think I'll mostly lurk at first. But here goes my first comment anyways. Looking forward to a growing community.
Question: If the equivalent Reddit subreddit doesn't exist that we use, should we create it? Or wait for the moderators from Reddit to create it?
Why hello I am literally just making this comment so more people see the post. My favourite thing about Fedi is how engagement works entirely different from proprietary social media. People make the Fediverse work, people being people make it such a lovely place!!
Was mostly a reddit lurker, have tried to change that by hosting my own lemmy instance and actually get involved in something!
The best thing about Lemmy is that it's still so raw. There is so much potential for it to be turned into something really great. Then again, television was once like that, I suppose - so was the internet, now I think about it. Oh well, at least I'm not lurking.
Love it! I lurked a lot on Reddit unless I had very specific questions--I think it's cool having an opportunity to grow a community.
I'm trying to create a community, but the 'create' button just turns into a spinning circle, and nothing happens. I've left that tab open for more than an hour.
So insteat, here's my first comment.
I wonder if it wouldn't be wise to try and emulate some of the easier/more participatable subreddits here. Askreddit theads for instance are a big pull (even if they tend to be. well, redditors post on them use your imagination).
I am doing my part
