Lemmy has been helping me lots. Been feeling so isolated, this is the first social online platform I've been able to participate in years. Talking to actual humans. Being able to help other humans.

Welcome! It might be doomsday outside, the roof of this place is leaking and might be close to caving in, but I'm glad you are here in this corner of the Internet with us today. โค

Its kind of funny and interesting, there a few big players in the Fedi, and for the most part, we all try and get along.

I agree, 100%. I never posted on other social media platforms until trying Lemmy, Mastodon, or Firefish. I find the fediverse is a really pleasant experience as long as the instance moderates can keep up with the spam, trolls, and other unwanted content. I think it's because it's not trying to commercialize the platforms that makes it more interesting and pleasant, at least for me.
