I dont know if this has been asked before or if this may be a little goofy of a question but I didn’t see anything relating to it and I’m kinda curious what the culture of Lemmy is like and what sort of common things people see. ive been paying attention to interactions but nothing is as good as just asking everyone.
Lawl. Speak for yourself: I’m a luddite - I just asked someone ‘what is a foss’
Is this is what happened to my parents when the internet came along and computers started being a thing? I swore to God that would never happen to me
Abnormally tech literate and FOSS aware - we’ve got lots of people who aren’t and I didn’t mean to imply we’re all in that camp.
This isn’t a tech forum so self-identified luddites are welcome!
You figured out the Fediverse, you’re not that much of a luddite.
I’m curious, how did you find out about and start using Lemmy? Most folks on Reddit when the API fiasco was happening acted like you needed to be a tech god to even sign up, so I’m curious if you felt intimidated at all?
I was following what was happening on Reddit and someone mentioned it. It was a little tricky to sign up and understand how it all worked once I did, but I got there, obviously (to the chagrin of the shitpost communities)
