Hello lemm.ee!

I’m one of the 609 new users who joined yesterday 🎉

At first, I didn’t know much about Lemmy, I just found lemm.ee through join-lemmy.org (filtered by “All topics - english - most active”) and joined because it was the most popular instance…

Initially, I thought I needed to create an account on every instances I wanted to join to access more content, but after reading a lot of posts (in particular in this community!), I finally understood how federation works.

Now that I know more about Lemmy and lemm.ee itself, I’m actually really happy with my (uneducated) choice!

As for the “why now?”, I think like many Reddit users, I’m getting tired of the ongoing ensh*ttification, especially with the recent issues around upvotes… And yesterday was a rainy day, so I took the time to finally understand how Lemmy works, and here I am.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!

Lemmy.world is bigger but they also have a bit of a reputation. Nothing wrong with that instance, but they’re often disliked by other instances for the same reasons why people from other websites don’t like redditors. Lemm.ee doesn’t have that same stigma from what I’ve seen.

  I use to dislike lemmy.world, because I kept seeing divisive posts from them trying to stir up hate against other instances. I find that kind of unprovoked unnecessary shit-stirring to be ugly.
  
  But then I realised that these negative posts were always coming from the same couple of users, every time. So it wasn’t because lemmy.world had that attitude, but rather there were a couple of zealots who happen to be on that instance.
  
  And I think of that whenever someone says bad stuff about other instances; because it’s probably a similar situation - just a couple of people giving the instance a bad rep.
