And we love you for it

The change was merged in Dec 2023 (see here). The Reddit Exodus was in summer 2023.
Thanks

I agree - but I also appreciate that all instances of Mbin and PieFed combined currently have fewer monthly active users than lemmy.dbzer0.com alone, which is only the seventh biggest Lemmy instance. So for now it doesn't make much of a dent whether we're counted or not.
I know, but it's the principle of the thing.

Absolutely. Feels like it's 2005 again, and you discover all kind of new places on the internet.

I feel the exact same, and I’ve been hanging around here for almost two years (the great 3rd party app exodus of ‘23).
This place feels more like a community filled with people versus a firehose of internet wrapped in layers of corporate and right wing BS.
Reddit was almost exclusively read-only for me. Here, I am commenting all the time.
This is one of the reasons I stayed. It was still small enough back then that you actually started to recognize people you had conversations with, and not just the troll farms.

To anyone new wondering about phone apps for Lemmy, I use "Thunder" and it works great.
Also, feel free to say Luigi without getting banned.
I personally prefer Raccoon at the moment, but the gestures are starting to wear on me, so I might be switching back to Thunder. Honestly, can't remember why I left it. I'm a persnickety bitch about apps sometimes lol

There are no followers on Lemmy
there are on mastodon

I’ve never moved, but I assume you just create a new account and start over. Or is there more you can do?
it's possible to migrate your subs on lemmy
it's possible to both migrate your subs and make a redirect on mastodon for followers, but the redirect requires the old server to remain in service.

Insta-ban!
I love that neither of us made it a point of which side is right

Yeah in a few days I'm going to delete my Reddit account, liking this place so far, you get news and genuine discussion.

For real we need more uplifting subs, my feed is just Musk and Trump diarrhea.

I'll just say, the more I hang around Lemmy, the more I enjoy the genuine conversations. It feels like less snark, less joke replies, and just a generally more community-type feeling. Reminds me of when I first tried Reddit after leaving Digg way back when.
Hopefully, us exiles can leave the Reddit back at Reddit.
