      I also signed up yesterday. This is my very first comment/post. This is all a bit new and ngl - slightly intimidating. I’ll go back to lurking and trying to get a better feel for the whole thing before I participate more.

      Edit: To be fair, I wasn’t all that participatory on that OTHER site either. After 12 years, I walked away with (4,528·14,039) on my profile. So don’t expect much lol.

        It’s all good, as long as we have actual people here (I was pretty much a hard lurker on reddit as well lol)

          I actually signed up for an account here and am commenting and posted once vs being a massive lurker on Reddit, I’m disabled and bed bound and spend hours daily online. Didn’t feel like Reddit really needed me to chip in and since it hurts to type I generally just lurked there.

            Hopefully they develop a way for you to post by voice to Lemmy. It’s great to have you on board!

              Awww thanks, I’ve tried dictation but it is so frustrating, it doesn’t help I tend to use a wider vocabulary… Plus as a consumer I much, much prefer reading to listening. It’s why I enjoyed old.reddit, clean text.

              Easier to suck it up and type sometimes. Or be more patient with dictation.

        I’ve been using reddit since before it supported the ability to leave comments, and I haven’t been back since the 12th, except to see if/where my most-visited subs are migrating and to watch the occasional trainwreck caused by reddit admins stepping on their own dicks.

        So far Lemmy/Kbin/etc has been scratching the itch with the bonus of having a better community. I think you’ll be fine here.

      Just signed up myself, it does feel like with guidance from Reddit migration threads it’s easy enough to sign up, but navigation still feels a little confusing, so maybe some signing up but just lurking or not bothering to continue
