New around here? Want to introduce yourself? Here’s a thread! Or if that whole practice makes you want to disappear, uh…Make someone up, or introduce your pet instead!
Whatever floats your boat, and hey, if you have a boat, introduce that boat!
Oh, and before I forget (again), I’ve written a relatively brief FAQ to help folks find their way around here.
Hey. I’m a Reddit refugee, long time internet lurker, and general weirdo. This is my absolute first Lemmy comment, so um… hi. Here’s my dog as toll.
Also why is Jack sideways I am so confused.
I unfortunately don’t have any answers as to that, but Jack’s lookin’ good from all angles! 😂
If you’re using Jerboa I was having the same problem. I think lemmy might do that if you upload directly to it on desktop too. You have to upload images to something like imgur so it doesn’t happen.
Yess! They’re so fluffy! Thanks!
Gorgeous cat! Looks super happy and content with you and with life.
Hello 👋 I will first introduce my 10 year old cat Simba. He loves going outside and smell trees and flowers. He do not like to play for long because he hates losing. Loves cuddles and is very social with everyone. He sleeps a lot too close by 😂
And my self (with out Pic).
I am a developer. I like reading Manga and manhwa, play games, do any kind of physical activity with others. I also seem to like lemmy a lot because I have never written this much publicly before.
Thanks for having me :D
Snazzy looking keyboard as well! Are you a mechanical keyboard enthusiast?
I am all about it in a reasonable budget. It can be so extremely expensive very easily 😂 It should feel great but it doesn’t have to be perfect. These are ec Sakura from varmilo :D they are great!
Hiya, thanks for visiting!
Also let's be real for a moment here...
You’re really Simba, aren’t you!? =P
Damn you got me! And I even did such a perfect fake sleep photo too!
Simba’s beautiful, and that’s a cute pic. That’s how my and my significant other’s cat is, he loves to lay on our keyboards when we’re working or gaming. There’s nothing quite like having a pet in close proximity to spam the F1 Help button when they’re sleepy.
oooh he helps me deleting and writing a lot. He really likes laying his head on the keyboard so i put my hand under his head acting like a pillow. I have become pretty fast at writing with only one hand because of that 😂
Ha ha. Cat owners unite! I appreciated reading that and experiencing it vicariously. He sounds like a good boy!
He is the best of boys! Pukes only in the bathroom and sit down and wait until i tell him he can eat. He pees weird but that is fine because i bought him a huge liter box so it will stay inside haha
Oh hey there. Reddit user of 9 years, migrating for obvious reasons. Just want to introduce my little community, if any of y’all enjoy playing old-school forum games:
I’m really liking the friendly vibe here and hope it continues as the community grows!
Hello! I’m also from Reddit, for like 11yrs. I usually don’t post anything online ever, but I am going to try to contribute here sometimes. :) My hobbies/interests are anything Pokémon, arts and crafts, reading, TV, gaming, cats, cooking, plants, Critical Role and paranormal/true crime podcasts. I have 2 doofy cats, Loki and Xandis. Currently, I am super duper excited for Baldur’s Gate 3! Also excited to make hopefully the best potato salad I’ve ever made tomorrow.

Yess! :) Astonishing Legends is what really got me into paranormal podcasts! They have good host chemistry, it’s fun to listen to them. They go on tangents a lot. Highly recommend the Mothman, Black Eyed Kids and Vertical Plane episodes! And That’s Why We Drink is fun, it’s a couple of friends, one tells a paranormal story, one tells a true crime story. This Paranormal Life is sillier, they take turns telling each other paranormal stories, then they vote on whether they think it’s real or not. Haunted Road - host tells a story about a place, then speaks to someone who works there and they discuss what they’ve experienced there, or what guests have experienced. Scared To Death - a couple tell each other scary stories, and try to scare each other. Spooked - different people telling their paranormal stories every episode. This one is usually really well made, the stories are really interesting! Used to be mostly a premium subscription podcast, but is now free!

Awesome! Haha, I haven’t heard of The Ghost Story Guys or The Opportunist, but I’m going to check them out! :) any episode recommendations? I do have Wild Thing in my subscribed podcasts, but I don’t know if I’ve listened yet, going to download some eps! It turned out great! Homemade mayo! :D

Awesome! :) I’m listening to the Gayle Palmer episodes now, very interesting! Thanks for the recommendation!
Oooh, I haven’t tried bacon grease before, that sounds amazing! Gotta put that on my to-do list, haha.

And now I just realized I’ve cursed myself with this thread to introduce myself…
So, hey! I’m an internet person that’s floated around etherspace awhile, not that long, but at least long enough that I remember ol’ forums and stuff like StumbleUpon. I’ve moderated a couple forums before and typically take a more hands-off approach to things.
I’m into some webcomics and really enjoy reading, but I’m also really bad/good about both getting a bunch of books & making lists of books to read and just kind of sporadically reading some of them. I dabble in a lot more, but this is me trying to keep it brief, so I’m stopping here. 😜
Hello. Was on Reddit for 10 years and been here six days now. I’m here mostly for science, news, fiction, games and finding new stuff. Got over the urge to look at Reddit already, but am taking this new poison. The fediverse with its different instances gives a feeling of smaller communities comming together which is both true and nice.

Hi! Here are a few of my wee friends - they’re very hard workers and I’m very proud of them.
Crappy photo because it’s hard taking a photo in a bee suit and gloves. :-)
Bees make the best subjects https://lemmy.world/post/559904
Hello world.
I mostly do tabletop hobby projects, I’ve got both a huge backlog to post and some new stuff coming up. I also do generally creative projects including worldbuilding a little scifi space adventure universe that I started way back when I needed to keep myself sane at work.
I’m here to add as much original content as I can for quality.
Hi I’m a guy with four cats who’s just here to see cat pictures mostly. My cats just want to sleep, so I get on here to watch other people’s cats do fun stuff.
Hello Mostly_Frogs, I am the
slaveowner of five cats and I am also here for the cats! I haven’t quite figured out posting cats quite yet. I mean, I have posted, but the pic either turns out sideways or it posts as a link instead of a pic… I’ll figure it out.I’m not sure about Lemmy yet. But it sure felt nice to post a cat photo after a couple weeks of Reddit chaos
Wow it’s crazy having an intro thread - it’s like a forum from 25 years ago! I love Lemmy feeling quite small and welcoming like this, awesome.
I am in the UK, have followed through various platforms since the 90s. I am old and sensible as my grown up screen name suggests.
I write and play a lot of table top roleplaying games (TTRPGs)!
Wow it’s crazy having an intro thread - it’s like a forum from 25 years ago!
*crumbles into dust*
I kid, but welcome! Speaking of TTRPGs, have you seen where some of these are on Itch.io these days? I’ve never gotten into them myself (not much for RPGs personally, and I don’t have a tabletop group to play with), but I’ve found some of the art & settings interesting!
There are so many on itch - I have my games on there! The indie TTRPG scene is thriving and bigger than ever - I play mostly online, and Discord is a huge part of that nowadays. Very active communities!
Hello there! I’m a fellow Reddit refugee that quit after 10 years when Apollo shut down. I’ve got two very silly pups named Pippin and Sunny, a tortoise named Bowser, and a gerbil named Oreo.
I’ve been gaming since the 80’s and haven’t slowed down a bit. I’m currently playing WoW, Diablo 4, Tears of the Kingdom and Final Fantasy 16. I’d have to say that my favorite games of all time are Portal 1 and 2. I’m a big nerd and I love Legos, movies, books, art and ice cold martinis.
I’m very happy to be here :)
Hello all! Was a reddit lurker for most of 13 years. Now I’m a new dad trying to find time for my hobbies (video games, drawing badly, and TTRPGs). I just moved back to the US after living in China for almost 9 years as a teacher.
Hey everyone, velvet here :) I am a developer with a revolving door of interests and hobbies. Lately I’ve been interested in true crime/horror, the Sims, aerial sports, and hanging out with my cat and two aussie pups! This is my first time joining the Fediverse after 12 years on Reddit, nice to meet you all!
