I have been on the edge with twitter and reddit for a while and I have finally deleted my accounts that I have had for a very long time there. They are no longer the places I used to know, even more so with twitter. I am ready for my new time here and on mastodon.
Hello Lemmy
Hello to the Fediverse! Hopefully you can also enjoy the rest of the sites such as Kbin, Pixelfed, Peertube, Owncast and Misskey - there’s plenty to choose from!
It’s strange, but the 3 day poop challenge meme that swept through lemmy the other day reminded me of what Reddit used to be. It felt like an actual community where people were actually interacting, and sometimes bizarre posts turned into legends. I hadn’t noticed the slow transition to just endless bot reposts. With all the spez drama, i decided Reddit was dead to me, and that was sad to acknowledge the sudden end of an era like that. But lemmy showed me that the things that made me love Reddit have been gone for a long time, and I feel more at home here.
I hope that this is the start of something special on the internet. I hope that this is the beginning of us users taking the power back from big tech companies.
Welcome to the Fediverse 🌞 I switched to Mastodon after Musk announced to buy the Twitter. It is already over a year ago 🤔
I am new to Lemmy myself, but it looks good
The only thing I still need reddit for is the sports communities. I hope some start getting bigger over here.
r/formula1 and r/soccer for me personally
There’s a Formula 1 community. It’s still small, but we can all make it grow. Also, the soccer community managed to grab the football name before the other guys, LOL
be the change you want to see, subscribe to those communities and be active in them
Is there a fantasy football one that’s migrated over?
A couple of small ones are starting out here and there: https://lemmyverse.net/communities?query=fantasy+football
Doesn’t seem like big communities hopped over yet.
Twitter is alot more fun now though.
