Same here was on Reddit for like 11 years at least. It's definitely a learning curve. I didn't even know lemmy, mastadon, or the fediverse even existed before this blackout.

Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

Very excited for malicious compliance to be back. It was also one of my favorite subs. That, pettyrevenge, and prorevenge were some of my favorites.
oh yeah that was some good reading material!
Hello!!!

My only concern is that I'm wondering about the viability of federated websites once the user-base of a single instance gets large enough. At that point won't it just be the same problem where there is a massive server usage and therefore needs community support?
Are you referring to moderation and stuff like that?
I feel like that could lead to issues as well. The best way for the fediverse to work is users spread out across many small/medium instances.

Next month, I would have been on Reddit for 12 years. I'm with you here man, hope to see your community thrive smoothly
I agree, this place is a breath of fresh air compared to the toxic cesspool named Reddit. Also thanks for giving me another new community to subscribe to!
Drat, and here we are going to welcome you to the r/TwelveYearClub. LOL
Welcome to Lemmyverse!
I joined in 2007 originally, but now I'm excited to be here instead. Reddit has been making increasingly shitty decisions and ignoring the community that made reddit. I'd been looking to jump ship for a while and the fediverse seems to be a good answer to the problem of shady corporations.
Same, but 12 years. Giving the fediverse a chance.
Welcome mate, I hope you enjoy your stay!
