There has been a steady trickle of new users here today, and in the past little while, mostly due to the bad decisions that reddit is currently making.

Anyways, welcome! Feel free to look around, and if you have any questions about anything lemmy related, feel free to ask!

    Hello from the forests of Quebec. I’m a huge fan of decentralization and open source tools. I will be hanging around here and watching reddit implode from afar. I was one of the digg exodus crowd, so I know that there is no way I can live without a link aggregator and discussion platform, lemmy seems like an instant win to me!

    Hey fellow (mostly) Canadians! Reddit Refugee of 13 years, this is my first Lemmy experience. I originally made a Lemmy.world account, but moved here as I felt more comfortable having the server hosted in Canada for data integrity/security.

    Seems like a neat place, the distributed/“federated” stuff was a bit confusing at first, but seems neat. I guess we’ll see how big the migration from Reddit to here is.

    Okay this federated stuff is really growing on me.

    The idea that you can sign up on any server, and still have a feed from many different servers is pretty cool.
