I’m personally done with reddit but I’m sure others appreciate it. I have been wanting to find a new platform for awhile and it took the blackout to make thst happen. I will be here on lemmy moving forward.

Thank you for reopening the subreddit. It will make it easier to download posts I made containing valuable details about my menopause experience.

Also, a huge thank you in general, leftylibra, for the time an effort into creating and moderating this important .

I hope this will take off. I am glad the original sub is back up for now, but I think Reddit’s days are numbered. Thanks for all you are doing for us.

Just wanted to thank you for sticking with both communities. Ladies need to stick together!

Thank you everyone for your positive comments! I know it’s been a rough road, not just with social media changes…but THE change, and you’re all super meno-warriors!

Thank you for the information. Can’t wait to see this grow and in particular this community. I won’t return to Reddit and I’m happy that I won’t miss much. Thank you for being here.

I just switched over to kbin to just see if doing this is easy. And yup it’s pretty easy to do either Lemmy or kbin. Also I only used google to sign into kbin. Warning though, it’s the Wild West of the internet with NSFW magazines/communities (kbin/Lemmy).

Made it! Finally got past the spinning wheel of purgatory. Thanks for doing this. I’m not against people making money but I think it’s important to remember the big picture and not allow ourselves to be treated like pawns by people who don’t care for us and will take whatever they want from the community if it suits them.

Thank you!

I tend not to make rash decisions, but having seen the degradation of Reddit (rapidly recently) I was already considering alternatives. Glad one of my fav subs migrated over!

I’ve not nuked my Reddit account, but I’m out of it after porting all my bookmarks.

I’ll be here - thank you @leftylibra! (I don’t know how to tag ppl yet)

As long as there’s a community, I’m not planning to go anywhere–I’m really not interested in supporting yet another social media as$hole that doesn’t care about the well-being of his users.

Hey @leftylibra!

First of all, I just really want to say thank you for all the work you’re doing, both here and trying to deal with the reddit situation!

I just wanted to let you know, in case it comes up, right now, the beehaw instance (which I’m a member of) has defederated (is that the correct word?) with lemmy.world and at least one other instance. I can see the old posts here, but none that have occurred after the defederation.

I went ahead and joined .world to make sure I can stay in contact with this group, so no real problem on my end. I just wanted to let you know, just in case someone brings it up as an issue?

Again, thank you for everything!

I appreciate you leftylibra! You are definitely not alone in the kind of community you want to thrive here, looking forward to things to come!

I just found this instance through this link and I’m super happy about it! I didn’t even search for a sub, which is weird since I’d been on Reddit for over 12 years as well lol

I’m in full support of all alternatives and have been browsing the Fediverse since the blackout and I must say I really love it. I don’t plan on going back to Reddit, the only thing I kinda miss is my local sub.

In any event, thank you very much for this instance. Subbed and will be reading :)

Late to the thread but Thank you leftylibra for all your hard work!
