Yay to all the fresh lemmings. Welcome welcome! Just don't be a dipshit please.
Still learning where to find stuff, and unfortunately most of "my" subreds aren't here (yet), but it looks promising and will continue to support.
Yeah pretty much but weaning off reddit is good
Feel free to recreate your favourite and try to grow it here :).
!fedigrow@lemm.ee is a decent resource for that.

A facebook friend who is transgender posted a list of alternate platforms to use instead of (ironically) Facebook, Google, Insta etc. And since I had recently been perma banned from reddit for twice quoting from The Godfather (I guess their algorithm hasn't seen it) and various djt related insults, I thought I'd give this a try.
Welcome in from the cold. We have hot cocoa and blankets.
Great, I've made myself right at home. As another user said I miss the smaller communities but it can only get better from here.

I like how Lemmy actually grew in size after i left it after the Reddit moderation problem of a couple years ago. All in all, it's all kind of overwhelming but maybe I'm too emotional.
Thanks.
I do like that the sub-lemmy is focused on Europe as a whole, the one on Reddit was labelled as EU

Fine, and how are you?
Welcome in from the cold. We have hot cocoa and blankets.
I like it so far :) Bit confusing sometimes and I'm still trying to find communities that I like and are active.
I hope that many more make the switch from reddit, but I can also see why some people might find the Initial setup confusing or anoying. I think it just takes some time to get used to Lemmy, so I hope a lot of people try it out and stay

Haven't checked Reddit much since creating this account. Thought I might use both but Lemmy is genuinely much better. The only thing I haven't figured out is how to visit the original instance from within voyager and how to make my feed more diverse. Currently it's very politics heavy and I don't wanna unsub from those communities but other stuff kinda gets burried.

Still looking around ๐ฌ
A question,
How when and where does the money come from to keep lemmy running?
Since nothing is free in life who pays for lemmy?
The server admins pay for it. Or people donate to the instance to keep it running
And on that note, consider donating to the instance and/or the Lemmy devs (and any other open-source project you find useful). I also need to make a round of donations soon!
There are also ways to donate to the core developers who write most of the Lemmy software running on each server.
Volunteers. Think about it like volunteering for your local community. Like a football coach or something.
Divide by zero (the instance I'm on) takes donations. People who donate get a nifty flair in the governance threads, but you don't have to donate to vote on issues the server faces. (We also allow non-members to vote, though since they're not as impacted by decisions made for the instance, their votes are given lower weights.)
