Hi, I just found my way here recently from Reddit and being told that Lemmy may be better. I have been approved by the admin here very quickly and I’m just starting to figure things out.
The Reddit avatar I had was dressed in a koala costume from a year or two ago since I found koalas to be cute and was looking into any Subreddits on protecting koalas due to them being listed as endangered, and have decided to call it Konala Koala.
At the moment, I’m not sure if I’m going to see any Sublemmies on similar topics or not show up here, but I have included a picture of my Reddit avatar here to find out if there is some way of using it here.
Also, I had 16,400 Coins on Reddit that I’m about to lose as of the end of tomorrow since they appear to be doing away with that as well.
There are some toxic Reddit refugees appearing, but apart from that you should find things much better. Don’t feed the trolls :)
It’s confusing at first, but there’s info out there explaining how to get started. There’s like 4-5 decent apps; try them all out and pick your fav.
While you’re looking for content and your feed to be customised, sort by Hot or Top Today for decent content.
You might want to check the Australia instances and communities for saving the koalas. We’re expecting a shit fire season this summer which is never good for the dwindling population, on top of the NSW and TAS deforestation.
Welcome 😁
