Well, it was the kick in the ass I needed to get off of Reddit finally. Besides, I think at the end of the day I was only down to maybe 2-3 subs that I kept up with, the rest just got toxic as hell. So...hello to everyone on Lemmy, still learning how it works, but hopefully it'll be a better mature community.

I think the trick will be working through some growing pains here while communities develop.

So far everything I've seen has been pretty positive though.
