Hello There

I moved here about a week ago at the start of the blackouts at reddit, figured it's time to say hello. Initially I was just looking for a reddit alternative, but I'd actually been growing more interested in the federation concept already, so Lemmy was really cool to try to learn. I'm still figuring things out, but quite enjoying it.

I wound up on partizle.com from join-lemmy.org where this instance had a description along the lines of "friendly and tech-minded." I'm a CS student and consider myself fairly friendly so here I landed. I originally saw it as a portal to the rest of the fediverse, but I'm digging the local community too.
