New around here? Want to introduce yourself? Here's a thread! Or if that whole practice makes you want to disappear, uh...Make someone up, or introduce your pet instead!

Whatever floats your boat, and hey, if you have a boat, introduce that boat!

Oh, and before I forget (again), I've written a relatively brief FAQ to help folks find their way around here.

Hey there! I’m another Reddit refugee looking to make a new home here. After a couple of false starts (not with Lemmy) I finally looked at this site for ease of use. I’m hoping to bring over a few other Reddit refugees from my favourite subs in the near future and expect to be settling in quite soon. I’m also wanting to create a community for my special interest - just not sure how I’ll go about that at the moment since there’ll be a couple of decisions to be made. Now for a proper look around.

Hello Lemmy, I too am a reddit refugee and I'd like to introduce you all to my fists... of friendship! Yes friendship!

Kidding aside, hopefully I'll be able to make myself at home in the coming weeks, and I'm hoping for my subs back over at the Big R to come over here. Interested in music discovery, self-improvement, graphic design, games, books, Warhammer lore, memes, and basically any community that might tickly me fancy.

Glad to be here! Oh, and Mr. $ can go #*!@& his API.

EDIT: a letter.

Oh hey there. Reddit user of 9 years, migrating for obvious reasons. Just want to introduce my little community, if any of y'all enjoy playing old-school forum games:

!forum_games@lemmy.world

I'm really liking the friendly vibe here and hope it continues as the community grows!

👋 - Have mostly been lurking various lemmy instances (beehaw, lemmy.world, …) and finally decided on creating an account here! Looks like I will need to create multiple accounts though due to defederation on some instances. No biggie, lol.

Hope to contribute content here and keep lemmy alive and well even as Reddit management is threatening many subreddits to open back up.

Well ok… I’m an old timer who’s been around the ‘net since the days of dialup, when FIDO and local BBSs were the Next Big Thing. I’ve always preferred to avoid corporate services, and the Late Unpleasantness on the alien site and the bird site have only made me more sure that’s the right stance.

Other than that, I’ve been a Trekkie forever. I love sci-fi, fantasy, and the paranormal. I enjoy a good ghost story, a smooth scotch, and a vintage fountain pen. Coffee is liquid gold. Everything else is subject to change without notice.

I'm @nihilist_hippie, I came here to scroll. I was on Reddit from 2011 till today. I'm hoping Lemmy takes off, and some of the interface kinks get ironed out. I'm considering trying to get more people to come aboard. I like techie stuff, and music, and news, and memes.
