Hi! I’ve been mostly a lurker on reddit, apart from a few niche communities, and I’m part of the current migration wave. So far, I really like it in lemmyland. Gives me kind of Usenet vibes.
Why this instance? Well, first of all, it was recommended on join-lemmy.org awesome-lemmy-instances. But I stumbled over SDF before, and it provides this warm feeling of the ancient days of dialup UUCP, so why not. :)
Edit: fixed where SDF Chatter was recommended.
SDF is a great community. Glad you’re here. You mentioned a warm feeling which reminds me of the book The Friendly Orange Glow which seems like something you would really enjoy reading. I first learned about the book from jwh here on the public access unix side of SDF. Such a great book!
Thanks for the book recommendation. I’ll check it out!
That’s a cool looking book.
