Yes, very happy so far. I haven’t posted this much even on Reddit.
Definitely has felt like a more welcoming community. Each comment on Reddit I made I had to mentally brace for the inevitable bot and troll replies. Constant fights.
Here I haven't seen much of it. Some people honestly trying to understand my points of view! Very refreshing
Hi former redditor here. I shall now insult your mother to help you feel at home.
Here it comes.
Are you ready?
I hope you are ready.
Your mother is slightly overweight.
I hope this helps in the transition process .
Wow! It's like I'm on Reddit!
One of the great things is no adds. No matter how I tried to block the “he gets us” add it always got me back.
That’s a small part of why Apollo was so great. You just got what you asked for, plus a lil pixel pal at the end there. RIP Hector the Bat
Haha. You triggered me, now for a vicious verbal attack...
Glad you’re here! I was a Reddit 1%’r and left when the3rd party apps were killed off. Wasn’t sure where I was going to go but I knew it wasn’t there.
Ram across a post on arstechnica about this app and the feddiverse, and here I am.
I can tell the paint isn’t even dry yet but damn, I’m happy to be here, too.
I ran across a couple of comments on Ars Technica that mentioned moving to Lemmy. I'd never heard of it before.
And here you are with 53 comments in 6 days.
I never posted my photography on Reddit because I knew it would be 3 votes and forgotten in a sea of botted "professionals" trying to get their pictures on r/all. I feel here I get a lot of appreciation from real people and the comments are thoughtful and kind.
Great photos! I’d follow you if I could.
Oh! Are you on Mastodon?
FYI: There are RSS feeds for user posts: https://lemmy.world/feeds/u/Speculater.xml?sort=New
Hi sorry! I missed this message. I am on Mastodon, but mainly just reading. Thanks for the kind words!

I'm posting a lot more here than on Reddit. There was less motivation to post there, for one a post can get buried in minutes so it can be like talking to a wall. Then there's the hostility if a post does get play.
I used to dread seeing that new message notification icon.
