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)

I mostly lurk on communities. But that's another matter entirely.

Anyway, enjoying being away from the depressing mess that reddit has become. Verrrry slowly getting the hang of things. Signed up in beehaw.org and Lemmy.ml mainly because I didn't know what the hell I was doing!

Main confusion for me is communities. Searched and found a few that are mostly on Lemmy.ml. But I can subscribe to and see from beehaw.org. But some just do not show up until I log into Lemmy.ml

I use jerboa which is a little clunky but I kinda like that. It's a learning curve I guess. How the internet used to be in a way. I'm 53 so remember the day of 33.3 modems and tweaking windows configs (get off my lawn)
