Sure, but here there are many communities about subjects instead of one.

I mean that’s what I did. 😂 The struggle is there are many “general” instances. They’re specifically for anyone to join. I don’t know how you really gate people to the right area…

Well I think it’s stupid and pointless that you miss pointless arguments. Are we doing it right?

Ohh for sure!

What you just want substance in your life? No debates over if Captain Picard could kick Luke Skywalkers ass? Everyone knows it’s Picard all the way. :D

To me Reddit was always the comments and less about the news story. The pulse of what was happening in your country, or town, or hobby, etc. I’m sure that will happen here on Lemmy too in time.

I’m really hoping that lemmy can see a larger uptick in engagement. I know I should be the change I want to see in the world. However the thing I miss the most is pointless arguments in the comments section. :D

14 years here checking in. Such is life, I left digg, I’ll leave Reddit.

Check out some other instances. Lemmy.ml will be taking the brunt of the beating today and for the next 48 hours.

Well you can join any instance and still interact with the others. I’m on lemmy.ca and so far it’s been stable. Think of it more like email than Reddit. Just because your on Gmail doesn’t mean you can’t email yahoo.

Never too late to move :D

I’ve purged my account… and passed the Rubicon. I’m on Lemmy now or just reading news sites.

Same here. 14 years gone. :)

Now we are here and moving forward. Not to anyone reading be sure to check out other instances too!

For what it is worth I found reading this very helpful in terms of “getting” the federation: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/federation_getting_started.html

Thinking of it a bit like email helped clear some things up for me and how I can interact with all the instances from lemmy.ca (or any other arbitrary instance)
