No posts yet, but I think I've already commented more here in a few days than my last 5 years on Reddit.

I've already been enjoying posting to Lemmy/etc much more than I ever did Reddit.

Reddit always felt so set-in-stone and unchanging to the point that it made me feel like I arrived "late" to the party even though my first Reddit account was in I think 2015. Once somebody claimed a subreddit with an easy-to-remember name that was largely it, and if you disagreed with their moderating style you had to suck it up or make your own with a more obtuse name.

With Lemmy since everything's decentralized it feels much more... I guess open? If someone makes a !gamedev community that has iffy moderation issues or whatnot, I or someone else can also make a !gamedev comm on another instance without it being a problem at all.

Let's also stop making self aware posts, and do memes and stuff. :)

I’m at least trying to comment more on posts. Breaking the lurker habit is hard.

But lurking go brrrrrrr

Where can I start my own community? There's some things I want but I dont wnat to host my own instance.

I would post images first and foremost, but I've veen having troubles doing so. Maybe in a few hours I'll be able to post some OC memes or something of the sort

Ok, buddy. I'll test cross-commenting here, if you don't mind.

E: nice

First I need to understand how all this works. fedia, lemmy, mastadon, fediverse, etc. I don't really understand what it all is and how it works. Suggestions from one user to another from a different "place" don't translate. Someone told me to look at /all. Like, where is that? I don't see anything like that. It's all a confusing, jumbled mess. It's melting my brain and I don't know if I can stick around. I don't see any kind of notifications either, so if someone responds to me, I probably won't see it unless I remember where I posted and to go manually check.

I am jumping in here as well, so far so good!
