I made an account on sh.itjust.works because world was having some issues registering new users. Because of this small issue I ended up taking a deep dive into learning about the Fediverse. It's such a cool concept and really easy to use once you familiarize yourself with it.
It's also awesome that instances can federate with one another, so communities can continue to grow! I was apprehensive of making the switch initially due to the presumption that it would require a steep learning curve, but I learned how to access, browse, and interact on lemmy in 15 minutes or less lol.
I keep mentioning it, but the fediverse reminds me of my early days of browsing reddit back in the mid-late 2000s. Lemmy feels like home and I can't wait to see it grow :)
And it's real good to see you here, if this is the original PK.
Yep, it's really me! I made my first sourced comment the other day about Twitter and Elon Musk.
This just made my day, so glad poppin is here!
So glad you're here! It feels like home now!
Okay I was a chronic lurker on Reddit but seeing you here gives me hope for the Soccer community on this site, which has thus far been a huge gaping hole. I honestly haven't used anything other than r/Soccer to keep up with football news in many years so I hope Lemmy can shoulder that burden sooner rather than later. It's probably the one part of Reddit that I'm really struggling to replace and/or live without.
Hey o/
Yea truth be told I still visit r/soccer and r/reddevils to catch up on football related news every morning/evening. The communities on Lemmy are still growing and while the more popular communities are very active, niche communities like sports will take some time.
Check out the football community on Lemmy, it's starting to get active. I've recently started posting too.
I'm not sure how to link directly to a community, so here's a link to one of my posts. You can click on the community and subscribe
gooble gobble one of us! Took me days of futility to finally get my account to activate. Sigh, F5 and re-captcha. But I finally found a window. It reminded of trying to buy bjork tickets back in the day.
Oh hi, that's a name I never thought I'd see again, good to see you're here
Hey cool, you run an electronic music community. I just subbed!
