Cool. I guess I know who to ask if I decide to dip my toes into one of the other fediverse platforms
I'm still learning, but my understanding is that we can interact with like Mastodon or Pleroma from our Lemmy accounts, but its not really intuitive like it would be from a native account on one of those platforms.
I came from Reddit. Hoping to find and help build up a good alternative.
Just like on askreddit. “Not an X but…” I mean. Im from reddit too, so no complaints
I came because of Reddit shutting down 3rd party apps, but I knew about lemmy before. I like self hosting and have self hosted a matrix server for probably a year now, and when twitter blew up I heard about mastodon and searched for a Reddit version. However, I am lazy as shit so I didn't bother to set up an instance until a couple days after the reddit news. Honestly it was probably for the best, I probably would have been put of by the tankie stuff. I do feel lucky to have been here before 100 instances though, It was so barren before the influx of Redditors, rarely would a post hit 100 upvotes. It's incredible how much it has changed in the last few days.
I actually had researched Lemmy before the reddit drama sense I do a fair amount of self-hosting. The reddit drama reminded me of this little corner. Maybe I’ll host my own instance when I beef up the server.
Of course! On the front end for friends and family I host plex and overseerr. Obviously all the arrs and everything in the background to make that work easily for people like my parents. Also running Pi-hole, vaultwarden, couple different back up services, vpn, all that fun stuff. Next project is setting up something for ebooks and maybe lemmy.
Techy subs like linux ones were talking about lemmy for a solid week before the black out (could have been longer I wasn't counting)
I am definitely here because of reddit, but I knew that it existed before. I also have averzy inactive mastodon account
I've been following lemmy for a few years now, waiting for it to become a viable reddit replacement
I like this forum/link aggregator form factor and i prefer open source software and federation, but there wasn't enough content and the app wasn't good enough to be as addictive as reddit. Now there's enough new content and jerboa is a much more usable interface
I'm not, I did have a Reddit account years ago though, but I deleted it. I just came here because a friend told me about this new federated type platform where you only need one account and I thought it seemed cool so here I am.
thanks for using Leebra!
