Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Today is my second cake day on lemmy!

There are exciting things on the horizon the rapid innovation of piefed, the addition of lemvotes, the amazing tesseract, the useful lemmy-federate, the comfort of voyager... lemmy has lots of promise.

Over these two years I've found some recurring characters here that I enjoy seeing, kinda a small town vibe - I like that.

This is a great place to be!

Happy cake day! Same here! While there are positive aspects of having a bigger community, I genuinely don't miss the hive mind whenever it peeks out over here (still somewhat rare for me).

This place has been fun and things are moving in a positive direction I think. Thanks to all of you fine folk who make it that way.

Ugh the hive mind was nasty. I always found it hilarious that with politics reddit was so left and would preach tolerance, but politely say ONE thing that doesn't fit the hive... you're toast.
