I think this is very true. Your identity changes depending on who you’re around, and that’s fine. There’s a lot to about building identity, and it’s all about social acceptance within a group as foundational.

Yeah, I think this is the real reason its older folks here: We remember the old Internet. The old Internet was interacting and talking to new people. The modern internet is just dodging ads, and making data for companies serving ads.

We can just talk about Americas team then. That’ll unify everything, right? 😉

You need both though. Memes and shitposts to scroll though and chuckle, and then quality stuff to engage on. Lemmys got that, and the momentum will keep it growing.

I tried lemmy like a year or so ago, and it felt so stale. The technology is there, but the content just wasn’t. That’s clearly changed now. 😊

This place is feeling a lot like the Reddit from 2008. Just get some rage comics back and this place will be 🔥🔥🔥.

Lemmy takes a bit more curation to start finding communities and has some rough spots, but I’m super excited for this.

After being here a few weeks, your “home” server doesn’t matter too terribly much, as long as it stays federated with other servers. You can subscribe to communities (subreddits) in other servers and they’ll appear on your feed. It’s kinda cool. You do have to do a little more work building your communities you want to see and participating, as there no algorithm to tell you what to see. It’s with it though! Sort by Hot or Top Day and you’re good to go!
