I’m one of the 609 new users who joined yesterday 🎉
At first, I didn’t know much about Lemmy, I just found lemm.ee through join-lemmy.org (filtered by "All topics - english - most active") and joined because it was the most popular instance...
Initially, I thought I needed to create an account on every instances I wanted to join to access more content, but after reading a lot of posts (in particular in this community!), I finally understood how federation works.
Now that I know more about Lemmy and lemm.ee itself, I’m actually really happy with my (uneducated) choice!
As for the "why now?", I think like many Reddit users, I'm getting tired of the ongoing ensh*ttification, especially with the recent issues around upvotes... And yesterday was a rainy day, so I took the time to finally understand how Lemmy works, and here I am.
