I went to Reddit today... (beehaw.org)

And saw a bunch of posts about the third party apps closing down, and lots of negativity about that whole fiasco.

... And I realized I hadn't been there for a week... And frankly didn't miss it. I am really loving the beehaw (and Lemmy as a whole) community. Thanks for being open, welcoming, responsive, engaging, and just generally nice people. I'm happy to be here. :)

I just joined beehaw myself (was fumbling around on mastodon for a while but to me it feels too much like a twitter clone). So far I'm really enjoying the genuine interactions on here. Very much has an old reddit vibe that hopefully will survive even with the upcoming mass migration!

I completely agree. It feels a lot like reddit did when I joined over a decade ago.

this is how i describe it to people looking for a new home after 3rd party massacre at reddit. Lemmy == 2007 reddit.

I just got onto Lemmy and managed to join a server but am way out of my depth on using it... Is there a helpful summary somewhere?

I personally started out by installing jeroba for android, no idea what you are on though. Tbh the best way to learn is to play around. I browse all so I can see what is out there, I registered on many instances but lemmy.world is one that seems to have access to everything so I browse on that one and if there's a community I like I subscribe. There are guides stickied in many instances so it's good to just browse around and read. Seriously I had no idea what I was doing yesterday morning and today I'm pretty much up to speed. Still learning the lingo.
