Yup. I've got my complaints about driving, house prices, cycling, and dog parks all ready to go. /s
So far Lemmy seems fine. The Android app hasn't been great, but the web UI is workable.

Can you please add free roaming cats to your list?
Yup. Deleting my accounts and settling in. :)
Hello and I wish you a warm welcome!
yup, and i think there will be a flood of new users like me in the next few days
Yeah it definitely needs some time to settle! Like I can't access this community yet from kbin. But that will come with time :)
I think I've found a new place to throw shawarmas at cyclists. Now we need to get BaconSheikh on here.
I was on r/ottawa for 8+ years under a different username.
Once BaconSheikh and that Arthur guy are here, Reddit can burn to the ground for all I care.
Looks like shawarma's back on the menu, boys!
just dipping the tow in, so far so good.
Hello there!
Hello!
Yep, hello from Gloucester!
Yep another refugee here.
Finding out about so many new social media alternatives today.
I've been stumbling around here and there
New Reddit immigrant!
I suspect more will be migrating to Lemmy or Kbin, since Reddit is killing their platform
And they recently fix the Lemmy.ca to kbin issue so now it doesn't matter which instance you choose!
Yep, but from the west side of Canada. Reddit's eroding and there are plenty of places for folks to get comfy around here.
Yep just found this, hope it picks up some more traffic
I find some of the more popular instances are struggling connecting to each other. So hopefully that sorts itself out!
I am shocked at how they're strongarming the 3rd party apps. I've deleted my Reddit account - yes, and even my alt - and I'm not going back.
raises hand
Hello yes. Used to live there but lurk forever
I'm assuming most of us are from Reddit considering the mass exodus that happened
Pretty much everyone here is from Reddit
yip
Yes sir. I'm surprised at how active this Ottawa community is already!
I'm here! Trying to figure things out in terms of the culture. :D I don't want to turn this place into an exact Reddit clone. We're like an invasive species to this place since it's so small!
But I wouldn't mind a little OttawaLoudNoises community. :)
