Hey, there's been a bunch of new users so I figured it might be a good idea to make this thread. Feel free to post your introductions, as well as any links to socials (only if you want to!) such as storygraph, goodreads, or bookwrym etc. I am hopeful to set up a bookwrym instance eventually but its still very much in early early early development.

Also be aware that there are alternative UI front ends, as seen from here. https://literature.cafe/post/315847

Heyo!

NorthernLightMountain here (the 20 character limit on display names made me shorten it since it's 21 characters long) and I figured I'd drop by to say hi!

My handle comes from the works of my all time favorite author, anyone know who?

I started out my Lemmy journey as a reddit expat and ended up over at Beehaw since I liked the sound of them focusing on being a safe and wholesome place. Now it's starting to sound like they'll split off from Lemmy completely and move on to some other platform due to the seriously lacking moderating tools.

So I've been poking about trying to find myself a new home base and you guys caught my eye. I love to read and the fact that you guys wanted to go for a cozy book-releated area sounded nice! Figured it would be worth giving it a shot at least. :)

Welcome! :) I seriously hope beehaw stays but we will see Hope you enjoy it here, I try my best to keep it as active as I can. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns

Yeah, it's a bit of a mess at the moment which also makes it a bit hard to know where to call home. You guys seem wholesome so far! :)

Hello, RandomDent here! Don't want to give out too much personal info, but I read a lot and am trying to write things I don't hate, so far unsuccessfully lol.

Ironically before this I had an idea to make a lemmy instance dedicated to doctor who hahaha

I’ll keep an eye out for one though and message you if I see any. I LOVE doctor who so freaking much

Hi, I'm not going to try saying my name. I'm an engineer who is now trying fiction writing as a hobby. I also do Gallifreyan on the side.

Met too! I still haven't found a really good community for Doctor Who stuff on Lemmy yet, there are a few but they're a bit sparse at the moment.
