Except the problems I had with Jerboa, it's great! And now, I don't seem to be time-out on Jerboa today

Well, I'm here !
I have removed my Reddit account after 10yrs + 100k + karma and more hours invested than I would like to admit.
This time, I'm legit done with the place. I don't like where they are headed and decided to give Lemmy a go.
So far, so good :)
I got my account approved and I'm good to go. This is my first comment of many, many more to come.
Good to be here folks...

My experience has been great! I’m trying to open up and contribute more to help this place grow. I made accounts on lemmy.ml and mastodon.social. While initially it was hard trying to find people and communities to follow, I think I’ve got the hang of it and am finding new content every day! There were some good posts on Reddit that helped me find lists of Mastodon users and Lemmy communities. By the end of the month I’ll be telling all my friends to hop on and helping them with the migration.
I still use reddit (for now) but I'm very much enjoying the smaller community feel on beehaw, while being able to join in on conversations in other instances whenever I feel like it.
There have been some stability issues on most of the more popular instances because of the sudden influx, but of course that's to be expected and I just take it as a hint to get off the internet for a while, lol

There's A LOT less spam posts and reused joke comments.
It's been okay, the main instances has been somewhat slow and some posts take time to show up in the feeds.
However, once I started using my self-hosted instance, it's been great! Snappy, content shows up pretty fast and federation has worked well for the time being.
I wish Jerboa was a little more polished for when I'm on my cellphone, but otherwise, the app is pretty good

So far, my experience has been pretty painless. Took about a day to really get used to. Its not nearly as big as Reddit, but I kind of like that.
Was also a reddit lurker before joining lemmy. It’s been pretty good so far! The only issue I had was that my first password was too long but it still let me make the account, so I couldn’t log in until I reset it to a shorter one. Other than that no issues other than thing occasionally taking a while to load. Loving the friendly community!

so far so go. i'm an old fart so familiarisation takes longer, and is easily forgotten ! 15 years on reddit before getting a permaban for saying "go outside fatso". Not my proudest moment, but there you go.
reddits downfall is multifaceted, but its certainly not helped by career Mods, who mod 20,30,50 different subs and network extensively.
