On my steamdeck, plugged into a projector
I was here early June when there was very little activity. I didn’t really understand the fediverse, and how instances worked. I remember thinking “this has so much potential!” The average instance had about 4000 users. And now it’s exploding. I know many people are going to continue to use Reddit, there’s still more users on Reddit then there are on here, there probably always will.
I feel the users that end up on here are smart, informed, fed up, we see past the lies, we are mature and chill as fuck.
The fact Lemmy takes time to learn is a good thing.
You just described me perfectly.
I feel like the people who are really upto speed, read between the lines, know their shit, and know what the best shit it.
Generally the people on here take their time, do their research, and invest in some quality product.
I was a Windows user up until last summer, a daily Reddit user since 2011, I was born in 1991, always been somewhat of a computer geek growing up.
In life I work as a barista/manager in a cafe, I set up the whole POS, trained staff, I do latte art.
Outside of work I organize public boardgame groups and movies in the park using a projecto, connected to a steamdeck, connected to a harddrive with 1800 movies.
The second Reddit hit the fan, I came here.
When I go to the bar, I make friends easy, I talk people’s ears off about geeky stuff. I eat mushroom chocolates a few times a week that I made my self, mushrooms give me insight and revelations.
I am the only person I know in person who has a steamdeck, no one I talk to is familiar with Linux, and few people are familiar with the fediverse and what’s happened to Reddit.
It’s odd feeling like the odd one out, but I am happy to have these forums to connect to other odd ones out.
I refuse to go on Reddit, it sucks because it takes way longer to find the answers I search for.
