Kind of crazy how time flies. I joined with the api exodus. Since then lemmy has become my primary social media platform. I engage here daily more than I ever did with anything else.

We did it. We finally have a platform that isnt just a dig suceesor. I feel Lemmy is the biggest achievement in open source federated technology since web 1.0 BBS.

I am happy to help contribute to lemmy growth across 2 years, 1.4k comments, and 100 post.

I rarely use reddit anymore for viewing post and never comment on anything by comparison. I run my own versions of the communities that kept me there. I encourage my communities to be a more positive and engaging space and so far its really payed off. I create art and engage in my hobby for Lemmy posting content.

Been good few years here and I'm glad to have this chance to be interacting with all of you. Its nice that were small enough to recognize psudonyms and socially network. Its amazing how being a little friendly and recongizing people across interactions can lead to good vibes all around.

Fellow API exile here. It took some getting used to at first since the engagement was lower, but I prefer it over Reddit now for sure. For one, it still feels like the early days of Reddit, most posts don’t just go unreplied or ignored. Most of the content is fresh and not a repost. Meme posts are a steady stream but not overwhelming and recycled.

It’s like living in medium sized town and I quite like it.

I really like that analogy and think it fits quite well! There are by far too many users to know them all, but as you scroll through your feed and all, you keep recognizing users who you once had a discussion with or who keep posting or commenting interesting stuff to your favorite communities.

I ran a BBS back when the computers had to screech at each other and I always described the feeling of the rise of the internet as "moving from a small town to the big city."

I very much appreciate this analogy.
