Came here a couple months ago. Regular Reddit lurker. Trying to get the swing of things. Seems like decent community. Just jumping in and engaging this time.
Kinda in the same boat. I bask in the gentle flow of the comments here vs. the torrent of hateful slop on Reddit. I don’t even feel the need to comment usually. Most of the time what I was going to say has already been said.

Let’s break the ice
Every little bit of engagement helps Lemmy grow, so welcome!
Here’s your complementary Lemmy starter gift tote bags, complete with a Linux guide book, German memes, a shark plushie (courtesy of Blåhaj), an introductory book in leftist political theory, and a T-shirt celebrating neurodivergence (long sleeve and no-sleeve options available) - 🛍️
an introductory book in leftist political theory
i thought that this was toxic to most liberals. lol
This ain’t Reddit. Welcome aboard! You’ll be accepted here unless you’re a right wing dipshit, then expect to get absolutely streamrolled.
To be fair, that depends more on instance.
That’s true.
Just comment!
Congrats! 👏 🎉
I, also, was a long time reddit lurker. I still lurk here, but I’ve posted more on Lemmy then I ever did on reddit. Jump in! The water is fine.
We’re all mentally challenged anyway, just open your rat hole to whatever song your thinker dreams up.
Just start saying shit it doesn’t matter how dumb or good
Something about your comment makes me feel personally attacked.
But I barely know you so at most it’s a random act of senseless verbal skullduggery
Welcome to the community !!!
Same, this is my very first message in 3y on Lemmy.
Well done. Second one will be easier. :)
You are not alone, my friend
You are welcome 😄
Also a longtime lurker with little time. But I like the verse and try to engage where possible.
‘Yoda Eye Squint’ You should be!
It’s mostly not worth the trouble.
