Had to make a new account on a different instance, and it took forever to get it to let me view this community from that instance. But I persevered! Haha.

Apparently lemmy.world got overloaded, wouldn’t let me sign in. Made an account on the star trek instance because it’s smaller but still really well federated. It wouldn’t let me go to this community for the same reason, but I found a work around by searching your name, then going to post history and accessing the community that way.
I’ll be honest, lemmy has been amazing for me. It scratches the reddit itch while also appeasing my constant desire to tinker with whatever Linux distro I’m running on a given day. Which is great because my laptop can’t handle a dual boot right now, and I have to windows for school. Lol. I get to find work arounds again! Lol.
😂
Lemmy’s navigation and UI in general could definitely use some work, but the way you’ve managed to get where you wanted in spite of that is impressive!
ITA on Lemmy’s community being more like what the Internet was supposed to be than the hellscape Reddit has become. I’d switch over full-time if I hadn’t made commitments over there. -.-
I basically have switched over at this point. I’ll pop into reddit occasionally when I need something in particular, and then get sucked in not an hour of scrolling. Lol. But yeah, this feels like the Internet again. Like what it was like when I was a kid. I didn’t realize how much I’d missed this. For the first several days I had to stop myself from automatically skipping posts with images that looked too… Clean? I guess. I had gotten so used to scrolling past the ads I didn’t even realize I was doing it. First few days on lemmy I skipped every like 3rd or 4th post if it had an image. Lol.
