Hello new people joining the #Mastodon and #Lemmy sides of the #Fediverse! How did you find yourself here? What was the specific point that lead you to make the jump?

Hello to you, too.

I've been thinking about joining the Fediverse for a long time now but was always too lazy to take the first step. Now with the troubles over at YOU-KNOW-WHICH-PLATFORM, I finally did it.

Tried a few different instances over the couple two weeks until I finally settled with my current one. Communities seem to be generally much nicer and less toxic. Glad to be part if this - should have done it much sooner!

@liaizon @technology That's pretty dope. I'll have to test that on my end!

looking at the same post from:

monero.town/post/3793

seems like monero town is running an older version that doesn't support hashtags in posts

@liaizon @technology I wasn't big on twitter, but when Mastodon got popular in the wake of the twitter migration I saw an opportunity to capture back some of the joy in connecting with others that I felt had been kind of robbed over the years. Have been quite enjoying running a mastodon instance and now that lemmy and kbin are getting popular I want to keep things going!
