I will stay, and I’d love if more people came over. It may work differently and be a bit buggy, but I can excuse it because it is still being developed and worked out whilst accommodating an influx of users.
I’m not a regular of r/melbourne but used to lurk a bit. I’m a fairly committed Mastodon user, and testing to see how it works with posting from Mastodon to lemmy. Might find it too spammy, or has other issues, but am heartened to see subreddits making a good go of decamping, potentially permanently.
I’m kind of interested in mastodon but haven’t expanded on that yet. I used to like the “everything all under one roof” kind of approach of Reddit, but I’ve grown to dislike it immensely. I’m finding that sometimes convenience is actually an inconvenience when it comes to real conversation or fact finding. I guess I’m still working it all out. But I like tinkering around with different modes of communication and learning.
@PeelerSheila I think that’s the beauty of the Fediverse, you can choose which way you prefer to view / interact, with many separate accounts eg treating lemmy/kbin like it’s Reddit, and Mastodon like it’s Twitter, or having one account to do everything. Or combine some things, but not others. I have several Mastodon accounts but have defaulted to using mainly one, and a Pixelfed account when I want to post public pictures a la Instagram.
I will probably not continue following this community from this account as it’s quite high traffic, but I wanted it see if it interacted as expected, and so far it’s doing all the things I was hoping it would.
I’m sticking around here until after June 30 then I’ll make a decision. Most likely I’ll stay here though.
the chaotic communication and the lemmy links removal have left a rather bad taste
Some of the posters are angry, some are confused and the rest are carrying on like everything’s back to normal. It should never have been this way.
