This is my first post, on my first day here, and it feels pretty good.
Welcome to Lemmy! I hope you have a great time here! 😃
Here, have some beans.
We don't do pay-a-social-media-ceo-to-win around here, we do beans. Practical, eatable, 100% all natural digital beans.
Some other users may be able to gift you a proper lemmy kilmister commerative gold token, but I don't have the jpg.
EDIT: oh right, a possibly useful warning:
About a month or two ago, lemmy seems to have attracted its first mass spam bot, dming thousands of users with basically a phising email.
If you get a message from 'Fediverse Chick', that's not her, someone stole her image, just block the user.
Or come discussing her at [email protected]
It’s kind of a rush picking a username knowing most are still available.
UltraGiGaGigantic2 is still available
Nicknames are per instance so your favourites are always available somewhere.
I know! I hadn't even thought of that until I saw someone's was like "mee" and now I need to get another account. It's like how people get caught off guard when I tell them my 20 year old email is just my name with no numbers or special characters.
I still have and use a hotmail email address.
Haha it’s great because there’s always another instance where your username will be available.
Or you can choose to be something different on each instance.
I just came over from Reddit too. It took me a day to settle in and understand how federation worked but now it makes total sense to me.
Start posting stuff with us welcome welcome everyone :)
So tasty names still available
(There always will be many good names available since every name can exist once on every instance)
and the best part is that if a name is taken on one instance you can just try another!
Welcome!!
The tankies have been notified. I expect you will receive a proper welcoming in the not so distant future.
Oh god, oh no. Hide yo kids, hide yo wife...
Welcome in.
