I usually give it a watch here and there during the 24hrs. My favourite race is the GT Challenge EU Spa 24. The past couple of years, 1st and 2nd place have been finishing within seconds of eachother.
Edit; it’s amazing watching a NASCAR roaring through Le Mans!
The Lemmy community are very welcoming. I’ve been here for a few days now and enjoying things so far.
It’s obviously still early days regarding the whole Reddit fiasco, so there’s not a lot of options for more mainstream and streamlined apps. I’ve been using the Jerboa app from the Play Store, which is good, but not perfected yet. So I decided to login to Lemmy on Chrome and install the web app version which is working for me right now.
What I’m keen to see is Lemmy grow and to come into its own. While it’s both funny and sad watching Reddit kill itself, and is obviously the hot topic at the moment, Lemmy needs to be seen as the Reddit alternative, so when Reddit users come here - they see that there are community’s here ready to go with each specific community posting and talking about their on-topic subject / news.
Lemmy / the fediverse is a little confusing (for myself anyway), as an outsider, I’m still learning the ropes of instance’s and how things work specifically. As time goes on, I’ll be more comfortable here without looking too much like an idiot, I’m sure.
I’m an ex Reddit user. It seems inevitable that the Reddit admins will lock out third party access - I could be wrong but based on recent years, Reddit doesn’t like to listen to it’s community.
I hope that the toxicity stays away, but it’s likely there will be toxic users at some point. My main gripe with Reddit was the lack of actual reading. Most mainstream subs were just memes / circlejerks / pics. I’d much prefer to learn something or read something of value over “lol-ing” at a pic.
I’m keen to see how Lemmy grows.
