This is my first post, on my first day here, and it feels pretty good.

    It’s kind of a rush picking a username knowing most are still available.

    I know! I hadn't even thought of that until I saw someone's was like "mee" and now I need to get another account. It's like how people get caught off guard when I tell them my 20 year old email is just my name with no numbers or special characters.

    Haha it’s great because there’s always another instance where your username will be available.

    Or you can choose to be something different on each instance.

    I just came over from Reddit too. It took me a day to settle in and understand how federation worked but now it makes total sense to me.

    Start posting stuff with us welcome welcome everyone :)

    Here, have some beans.

    We don't do pay-a-social-media-ceo-to-win around here, we do beans. Practical, eatable, 100% all natural digital beans.

    Some other users may be able to gift you a proper lemmy kilmister commerative gold token, but I don't have the jpg.

    EDIT: oh right, a possibly useful warning:

    About a month or two ago, lemmy seems to have attracted its first mass spam bot, dming thousands of users with basically a phising email.

    If you get a message from 'Fediverse Chick', that's not her, someone stole her image, just block the user.

    Welcome. I think you will like it here. We're kind of like reddit except we aren't trying to make money from you, or your content. And we are more likely to follow the golden rule. And swear. Lots of swearing.

    Welcome everyone!

    Dont stress about which instance you join. Took me 3 tries before I found the one I like, but I was able to see most of the stuff from each one.

    How come theres been an influx of users recently? Did reddit shit the bed again?

    I got a warning today about upvoting violence. The only thing I have upvoted in the last little while is pro-Canada stuff like elbows up. If that gets me kicked off Reddit then fuck them and fuck spez the little pig boy.

    Reddit recently started doubling down on far-right actions. Like making it so you can be banned for just upvoting a post that breaks the rules, or banning you for saying the name "Luigi."

    Personally, I recently got permabanned for being truthful about fascists.

    Happy to be here! I love finding alternative platforms to the big ones, I'm a forum nerd and soon I'm thinking about moving one from phpBB 3 to either Discourse or Node.bb and having it join ActivityPub. I hope more people will join lemmy soon!

    Showed as white on white on my UI, so here's the picture below.

    Be mindful of the smug "Lemmy Culture" hipsters, they'll eventually weed themselves out or self segregate though as more normies flow in.

    I welcome the masses.

    Welcome! It's nice and comfy here, if a little less of an infinite content-hose compared to Reddit. You might need to do a little more heavy lifting yourself in terms of posting and commenting, but on the plus side - people actually read what you post, instead of being drowned by a deluge of spam and bots! And discussions are mostly friendly and civil!
