Just a random thought I had. But, around 2010 I really enjoyed making how-to guides (you know the ones using hypercam to screen record, techno background songs, and using notepad to talk out steps). For some reason starting a lemmy instance and the whole process of customizing it, creating content, being on other lemmy instances, without any strategy or care of sorts reminds me of those days. And it’s just quite nice to relive that again.
I fully agree, it’s even made me start creating, because I wanted too see stuff here there is a feeling of just, doing things and that someone will have a nice time here from it
