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.

When I first picked up guitar and my string broke, I didn't know what to do or if I fucked up loosing the ball end. I asked !guitars@lemmy.world for help and everyone there was so supportive in helping me understand what happened.

We will get there but it will take time and effort on everyone's part. Gotta be the change ypu want to see. Take a picture of your guitar and post. Record a 30 second sample upload it to youtube or a peertube instance and post, recommend a sweet tab you think others would like to play and post. Make a slingshot from a guitar string and post. And comment comment comment supportively under everyone else's post so they are engaged to make more. Be hands on, become a mod of a inactive community and make it your baby if that helps.
