Welcome! Feel free to introduce yourself here in the c/main channel if you’d like.
Bonjour, I’m Mak out of the Great Lakes Region. I’m out of NEOhio. I do Anarchist shit from time to time.
Good morning, midwestern Lemmites! Actually a Hexbear refugee, I got banned when they found out I organize with Trotskyists. Don’t worry though, my IRL organizing work creates enough personal irritation that I don’t need to harass people who disagree with me in order to get it. I’m just here cuz its a leftish space of localish people, who post memes and stories I can comment on. I like Music, art, videogames, tech, books (history, social theory, sci fi)…well I actually have too many hobbies and interests to list. Thanks for letting me in your little instance!
Welcome!
Hi!
Ohioan here… I too am a recent reddit refugee… anyone else having digg deja vu?..

Been on Mastodon for a few months (suck it twitter) and with Reddit’s recent money grab figured I’d check out other parts of the fediverse.
Was not around for the Digg exodus, but I’m hoping this will be the historic Reddit exodus. I had felt this would be coming, especially after hearing about the Reddit IPO. Unfortunately these things always turn products to shit. And here we are. Hoping we can all reclaim the internet. Feel I’m living the cyberpunk dystopian future when I jump online nowadays. Reddit was my last internet refuge. But I had to leave. I was a dedicated Apollo user and have to take a principled stand after what they did to Selig. Reddit account deleted and excited for what the future holds for Lemmy.
From a Wisconsin Exurb of the Twin Cities. I am an astronomer and instrumentation physicist, most of my day job is debugging software and electronics. But sometimes it is looking at galaxies and exoplanets. I am getting back into running after an injury and am currently reading about political economics.
Welcome! We have many software people on the instance. Come join the Matrix channel.
Hello, all. I’ve done a bunch of weird stuff from injecting people with radioactive stuff, a pit stop at writing and publishing fiction, to renting virtual apartments for real money. Currently spend half my time in northern IL, half in southwest OH.
Yet another long time Apollo refugee joins the instance. Greeting from Omaha, home of the Henry Doorly Zoo, Runza and… uh… Berkshire Hathaway? M/39 software dev with some young kids and a dog. Looking forward to the same bullshit on Lemmy I enjoyed on Reddit: D&D memes, programming, college basketball (Rock Chalk) and video games.
Hi there! I’m in Madison and am pretty active on the subreddit. I’m making my way over here slowly but surely. I am in grad school for urban planning. I enjoy talking and debating politics and philosophy, and am active on the Social Democracy subreddit.
Hello all, I’m a network engineer currently living in Grand Forks, ND, but from Sioux Falls, SD, and planning to move to Minneapolis in a few months.
I’ve been off Reddit since they killed 3rd party apps and figured I should finally replace it with something else.
May I create a South Dakota community? I noticed there’s not one. We’ve got North Dakota, but not South Dakota.
For context, I live in South Dakota.
Hi everyone, another Chicagolander here, this time from the western suburbs. I just moved over here from kbin.social, which has been broken quite a lot lately. Prior to that I was on reddit for an embarrassingly long time, bailing on it when the shit hit the fan last summer.
I’m also on Mastodon where I post very infrequently - I prefer the link aggregator with comments style services such as Lemmy over microblog things.
I’m a middle-aged immigrant dude who is into a lot of nerd shit like scifi, books, video games, electric vehicles, as well as photography and motorcycles. I also ride bicycles for fun and exercise when the weather doesn’t suck.
I’m a new Lemmy user, teacher, and cyclist from the St. Louis area. Hello everyone!
Hola… from Colorado here. Hope everyone is doing well out there……
Hi y’all! I’m from Indiana. Nice to meet you all!
Nice to have you here.
Sup nerds. I’m Miah, I’m from Western Michigan. I’m a UNIX/Linux nerd, Right to Repair advocate, and transgender woman. I’ve been working on our cars by myself and would love to make some car nerd friends. My wife and I have 24 chickens, and a budding garden.
trans, married, AND you have 24 chickens? you’re winning at life
I’m certainly trying =)
Hello 30 year old central Missourian. Had a Reddit and Imgur account, left Reddit at the last purge of subs and users. Have been using Imgur exclusively since then. Not quite the same, except for it also slowly getting worse as they monetize it. I enjoyed woodworking, blacksmithing, leatherworking, ren-faires (shocker given those previous two), and cooking. Past tense as I now have a 1 year old and there’s no time for anything besides work and parenting a baby/toddler with my spouse. Wasn’t planning to interact much, as agreeing to a popular opinion isn’t helpful and I don’t have time for arguing something pointless, however a post below reminded me that I should, as engagement does help grow this new platform. An attempt will be made.
Hey! Welcome. I understand the first year struggle since I have one of my own. Glad you decided to join and engage. If you want, join us on the Matrix channel. We have a lot of great fun talking there. Also, take we have a fatherverse community that might be fun for you as we all recount things about parenting.
