Hello all good people of Beehaw.

I’ve just signed up here and thought this would be a good place to break the ice.

Hello everyone! I’m JP, still undecided on pronouns (any for now). I tend to be a lurker even IRL (I’m the quiet person who just likes to be there), but I’d like to start participating more in the spaces I enjoy and maybe find some sense of community.

Lately I’ve grown tired of my hobbies, and I’ve been looking for new ones. Growing up I read a lot, I used to draw and write, I played a lot of videogames, and I practiced martial arts (Karate and Judo). Later in my teens I learned to play guitar and bass, some friends got me into anime and manga (although I don’t watch or read many anymore), and like most people, I’ve enjoyed many movies and TV shows.

Recently I learned how to code (just the basics in Java, I still don’t know how to build a full web/mobile app), I started learning gamedev in Godot (I did the basic tutorials for 2D and 3D games), and now I’m trying to learn 3D modeling in Blender, but I’m pretty slow and inconsistent. I also spend a lot of time online learning about social issues, probably to the detriment of my mental health.

Other hobbies I’d like to try in the future include cooking (I suck at it, but I’d like to get good); sewing, knitting and crocheting; painting, and I’d like to get into reading and writing again at some point. I’d also like to learn how to make music, since I only know how to learn songs, but not how to write, record or produce one. My favourite music falls into the “alt-rock/indie-rock” umbrella, and lately I’ve also been discovering post-rock, which I love.

Nice to meet you all! So far, Beehaw seems like a really nice place to be(e).

Hello. I am also a cat dad of five, I like music theory and composition, creative writing, board and card games, and sometimes drawing. I am an ally to Furries. I identify as heteroflexible.

Hi, I hate glitter and my name is not Lance. I do cross stitching and play the occasional video game. I also like books, cross stitching has enabled me to listen to audio books. I like sci-fi and adventure/mystery but I read romance novels too from time to time.

Hey hey, I’m bijuice.

I’m a cat dad from Kenya who’s into poetry, art and gaming. I also mentor at a wonderful tech focused program called KamiLimu.

I’ve been here for about a week now and I’m loving it so far. Y’all are so nice :)

Hi, I’m Whelmer, never maintained a reddit account but I was a chronic lurker and was pleased to discover this whole Lemmy thing recently. Always had a love/hate thing with reddit and this place reduces significantly the latter part of that equation.

I’m an organic orchardist by trade, novice gardener and beekeeper as well. Been into Linux and FOSS for the past decade or so. I also like to play and build synthesizers. Though these days I’m not finding a lot of time for my non-economic hobbies.

Thanks for creating and maintaining this community.

Hi all, I’m Michael, your friendly neighborhood aspie. I joined the Fediverse around ~2 months ago with the Reddit migration. While I have lightly participated in Beehaw’s communities since then, I’ve only just now made an account here and intend to participate here more.

I’m an avid gamer with a pretty low tolerance for BS monetization. Some of my favorite games are the Soulsborn series, Deep Rock Galactic, Victoria 3, Risk of Rain 2, Rimworld, and Kingdoms Reborn. I’ve recently stumbled across the physics driven medieval brawler Exanima, and I’m thoroughly addicted right now.

I also have several other interests like Music Theory and History, but I’m sure there will be plenty of time to talk about that stuff in their respective communities. Thanks for having me.

I’m a cat parent of one from Australia. I came here as a reddit refugee and am appreciating the cultural differences here. Much easier to curate a healthy front page here!
