Even given the circumstances of us being brought here (overt, stubborn, and shameless corporate greed), also glad folks are here. My hopes for lemmy is to be the community center of the internet. Let us not merely be lemmings, let us be lemminites.

MODERATORS
Many thanks to my son who told me about Lemmy last night. Reddit tab closed. Lemmy tab open.
Glad to be with you guys. I was worried that the Internet would be boring after Iβve left Reddit. Well itβs not and it is because of you
Still getting my head around it. Hoping more interesting content comes about and we can put the memes/discussion of Reddit to bed!
Thank you for being here with us!
I concur still feeling my way around, more mole like than a lemming π
Been loving seeing how active this place is getting, I didn't post often on Reddit but this just feels better somewhow, and I feel more inclined to comment on contribute!
I'm just trying to find the snack bar.
Using lemmy is part of the never ending quest of recreating the internet interactions of my youth. When real friends were made on message boards. When things felt like a real group of people, and not so hyperfocused on individual topics so as to ignore the people behind the words.
Lemmy feels good so far

The avid and intelligent discussions I see on Lemmy are heartwarming in itself. Ngl, I never really got that with R*****. Lemmy feels like home. Just wish I would've been apart of it earlier than a few weeks ago
username checks out! π
Remember, you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.
I was finally able to log in!! My other email address never received the verification email and I couldn't resend it for some reason...
I think Lemmy is really cool, and I'm excited to see where it goes from here!
Even me? Wow
And thanks to all the people developing! Either Lemmy itself or all the apps to read it.
Shoutout to aeharding for wefwef. Not sure if Iβd be sticking around if not for the Apollo-like experience theyβre bringing to Lemmy!
Thanks so much!

Thou art Lemmy. I am Lemmy. All that groks is Lemmy.
Maybe my first contribution will be getting this video to work on the mobile/iOS version of this site lol
It's not worth it, man.
Supporting iOS browsers might feel like jumping off a cliff, but I must do it for my Lemming brethren π«‘
