I don't know where is appropriate to post this, but it's low effort so this community seems appropriate. - eviltoast

Sorry if not.

I was on Reddit for a lot of years and enjoyed most of them, I really did. Almost all of that was through the Reddit is Fun app, it was one of the few apps I liked enough to pay for it.

I stopped opening RiF the day the API incident happened and I switched to here (using Connect, after some experimentation, because the UX was most similar to RiF). I wasn’t confident we would gain enough users to make it worthwhile to switch, but I wanted to try and I didn’t want to support spez. Just this morning I told my wife that we probably had several thousand users, then a few hours later I saw a post saying we had almost 1.5 million. That’s amazing!

I struggled a bit with Lemmy when I started using it, but either Lemmy or I evolved - probably both - and now it’s a wonderful experience to open every day. Y’all are great and I appreciate your presence.

edit: Probably should have said it in the original message, but in case it wasn’t explicit: thank you all.

    I checked the rules for posting here - they said “anything goes.” The part that convinced me to post this: including “banter.”

    Thanks for calling it high quality. You are one of many lemmings whom I love.
