I’m hoping to be done with Reddit and to let Lemmy in as a new home. Anyone else in the same boat? Do yall know of any other trans communities?

    Yup! I’m quitting Reddit because of everything they’re doing. Since the protests, the quality of my feed is significantly less, and I don’t really want to support them. Time to migrate and help an actual alternative get off the ground!

    Yeah, migrating out of Reddit because of The Horrors. I’m averse to Mastodon because I have some trauma from my time on Twitter and hate the form factor for related reasons, even if my experience on Mastodon was that most people there were nice.

    I just switched to try it out. I am surprisingly impressed! Signed up on a server, subscribed to a bunch of communities, downloaded a mobile app, and pretty much have a similar experience, maybe even better in some ways. But definitely missing some content still, but maybe if more people come over?

    Yup!

    I hope someone with responsible type character traits creates a lem place for me to talk about Street Fighter 6 and the upcoming Final Fantasy XVI and other stuff.

      Using Jerboa at the moment. That and a version of Kiwi browser with about a hundred extensions added to it. I still have Boost installed but it’s going to go away too most likely.

      if you’re using the web interface, there should be a little popup when you start typing the community name that will automatically generate the link when you click it

    • @bootyberrypancakes @WrenofDelpan
      I believe you used the link feature correctly (normally the client takes care of resolving it without redirecting to a different website (not sure how lemmy handles it))

      If you want to access/repost old reddit memes, there were bots to mirror some subreddits to the fediverse: @egg_irl_bot @traabot
      (Note: I’m not sure if lemmy supports opening these and these are only bots, but maybe someone looking for memes might find them helpful)

      Also if this gets through:
      Hello from my akkoma instance.

      Got to love the fediverse for all of these communities to interact with one another.

    Fellow former redditor here! Lemmy already has some great groundwork for the trans community, and its only grown since I got here. I’m done with reddit for good, I have faith in the community of lemmy. It might be smaller scale but I dont think that takes away from it at all!

      Feels a lot like the first week of a new reddit sub, and a little like reddit when I first joined in 2009.

      I hope it keeps the good parts without the garbage.

    Also here from reddit. It’s gonna be real hard breaking the muscle memory of visiting that site tho. My attempt to switch to mastodon from Twitter didn’t go very far because everyone I cared about following went off in about 6 different directions, so I’m hoping this goes better.
