There has been a steady trickle of new users here today, and in the past little while, mostly due to the bad decisions that reddit is currently making.

Anyways, welcome! Feel free to look around, and if you have any questions about anything lemmy related, feel free to ask!

Also, if you feel up to it, introduce yourself in the comments below!

    Hi There,

    Yet another reddit refugee from Canada’s West Coast. I’ve been in reddit for 15 years, mostly as a lurker with intermittent contributions (mostly comments in discussion threads). I used to use old.reddit, so would not have been affected (yet) by the announced API changes directly, but I am disappointed in the most recent behaviour of the admins over there and their disregard for the communities at large and the countless contributions of volunteer moderators, developers and content contributors that helped reddit to grow to what it is today.

    I’m looking forward to explore Lemmy and Tildes and enjoy the reddit feel of the earlier days.
