I'd like to say glad to bere here, but tbh it makes me sad to leave behind my Reddit account of almost a decade.
Lemmy look promising though (and still slightly confusing :)
I'm glad there's an impetus to change. I have some reservations about the fediverse, but I think it's got the right idea and will evolve into something better itself, or help us learn more about designing social media systems for users.
I burned my 11 year reddit account with edits and it felt liberating.
Same. I was 9 years 10 months deep into Reddit, just shy of putting in a dime, all through RiF, and I'll miss some of the super niche communities I found there.
Give kbin a shot if you find Lemmy confusing. I found it much more approachable personally.
