I'll never understand the people who are hell bent on trying to get reddit back. No matter what they won't have a say in anything that happens, own anything, or even have a voice. I'm glad people are finally moving to an open source alternative.
Like others, I'm also here from Reddit Is Fun. I was a reddit user for over 16 years (with a 15 year old account). For over half of that time, RIF was my exclusive conduit to Reddit as the desktop site became increasingly unusable. Now that RIF is gone, I won't be going back.
Long live OSS.
I think only linux users moved over here... maybe
Windows user checks in. But I've got to admit, just as with Mastodon, the sign-up process (and finding communities across servers) might scare some people that are not as familiar with computers as most people that are on here now.
Honestly, signing up was a horrible experience.
Really? I don't know, I just went to a page and wrote in my data, just like registering on any other page.
I signed up yesterday. It was not bad at all. No blood oaths or anything.
It took me a few tries over multiple days to sign up successfully
I had swear the First Ideal. The storm light is kinda fun though.

That's true.
I’m here from Apollo. Currently testing out Memmy, Thunder, and now wefwef. Tried Mlem and Liftoff too but I don’t like them as much.
I'm using an iMac right now.
I'm here from reddit is fun , I'm on Android and going to try on my windows PC in a minute

What app are you using?
Connect for lemmy and honestly it actually seemed to be working faster than the mobile browser somehow. Not to mention looks better. Also downloaded Jerboa and will try that tomorrow, give each a full day.
Ya that's what I'm on and It's been so buggy for me.
Other apps are saying lemmy.world is using an outdated server version.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Part of me acknowledges that buggy social media is good as I'll be less inclined to use it
Invested time... And this place is pretty far behind a usable replacement in terms of content alone.
I was an early user of reddit, and it had a lot of the same problems this place had. There were no "smaller subreddits", everything was small. But the quality of content was good, so I stuck around. It really takes a lot of effort to build a community, it doesn't come for free. I hope you stick around and help 😀
Dude I have communities I still want to be a part of there. It's not easy to just walk away. I have now but when the NFL season starts it's going to be hard to not go back unless there is a good alt here.
