there’s a ham community already here, but it’s very barren. i just started to study for my tech license too!

do you know da wae??

so far, the UI and everything makes sense. the mobile app i’m using as well, Mlem for iOS, is VERY nice.

if i lived in a perfect world and had more time to set things up, i would of selfhosted my own Lemmy instance. however, i went ahead and found lemmy.world (i happen to also be on mastdon.world as well), and created an account there.

but yeah, so far so good! i feel like i’m on a SMF/phpBB forum a little, which IMHO makes me feel right at home. over time, more communities will be made and more people will join them, thus creating more content to read.

i’m already using mlem, and it’s quite nice! yes, it needs some polishing still, however it’s a great alternative to what i’ve been using for 3 years (Apollo).

after seeing /u/spez doubling down on the API changes, i went ahead and deleted my 10 year old reddit accounts posts and comments.

also literally made this account as well, but i’m 100% done with reddit.
