Agreed! I am curious with this, how did you guys find out about Lemmy? In my case, I was scrolling through Reddit and saw somebody talking about Lemmy. I researched a little bit and here I am! I would love to hear from y'all tho

Just created a magazine for EASportsFC (formerly FIFA)! I kept looking to see if someone would make a magazine and just said why not make it myself. (insert squidward meme "when i’m in a worst moderator competition and my opponent is NeighborlyNomad")

It's nice to be part of a smaller community again! Hopefully we see more people make the switch

I'm not lurking, I'm writing this comment.
Just downloaded and installed Jerboa on my phone. This is me trying to do my part to help out a user-friendly Reddit replacement.
I've been on reddit for far longer than I'd care to admit. It's been a weird feeling deleting all of my bookmarks and apps in an attempt to avoid just absently mindedly returning.
Share stories, comment. Lurking doesn't generate content.
I'm trying to create a community, but the 'create' button just turns into a spinning circle, and nothing happens. I've left that tab open for more than an hour.
So insteat, here's my first comment.

No Lurking from me!
In all honesty, Thankful to be here and have something to turn to. Excited to see the massive improvements Lemmy takes on over the coming months with traffic from reddit.
It's hard being a lurker for so long, I only started interacting with a few smaller subreddits around sporting events and then within a year, all this crap started happening. Feel sorry for all the 3rd party developers, I used Boost and I'm glad I supported the developer over the years but can't believe how they ended up being treated. Death to Reddit
We are having a hard time now. Lots of issues due to the volume. We need to ramp up the server hardware.
Scraped my reddit account and here to post Manatee!
Hi, I'm here! Signed up on an instance a few days ago with all this BS going on at Reddit, and I just read the "AMA" with spez. Absolutely ridiculous. I would love to see Lemmy take off. Just trying to get the hang of it at the moment, and I hope an iPhone app comes.
I am glad u/iamthatis saved the recordings because u/spez is a liar. I live in a one-party consent state myself, so I know what u/iamthatis did was legal.

It’s a bit difficult getting into Lemmy and the feediverse I gotta say. But after looking around for a while I really like how things work here, compared to reddit

Huh. So that's how you comment!
I'll wait and see how things go.
Question: If the equivalent Reddit subreddit doesn't exist that we use, should we create it? Or wait for the moderators from Reddit to create it?
Seems to me it makes sense to go ahead and create it. There's no reason the mods on Reddit should necessarily be the mods anywhere else. They don't own the subject under discussion, after all. They just happened to be the ones to start a subreddit or get invited to moderate by others.
There's a real opportunity in being able to create your own community here. If there were problems or issues with a subreddit, whether it be mod problems, rule issues, general tone of the sub, etc, this is a chance to change that and make it right.
