Im joining in on the reddit ditching thing, and was kinda worried at first that i wouldnt be able to like use it the way i did reddit as it feels like a whole new place, but after engaging with posts and people and actually being a part of lemmy rather than being lurk mode all the time i was pleasantly surprised with how easy it is to become a member of the community, theres a reasonable amount of subs (or whatever the other word for em is) that fit my interests, enough linux content and shitposting for my liking, and the overall random posts made by people equally fed up with Leddit. (also i admit i used reddit a little cus there was this post on the fedora sub showing how to fix a sound issue i been having after a recent update)

It's going well! One thing I've really liked so far is the "tight-knit group" sort of feeling. Not really sure the best way to explain it, but it's like the difference between working at a place where there are only 9 other employees, versus working at a corporation. It feels like you truly have the chance to be a part of something awesome, rather than just being a drop in the bucket.

oh for sure, especially in like the way smaller instances in fediverse projects, theres instances of akkoma where it doesnt feel like a social media site (which an instances is technically is) but more like a groupchat/blog thing (in the style of internet way back in the day) where getting familiar with the others is easy as hell and almost natural, wholesome 101

I think most people that have joined up on Lemmy are sort of like minded anyway, so that probably helps with the feeling of community
