New around here? Want to introduce yourself? Here's a thread! Or if that whole practice makes you want to disappear, uh...Make someone up, or introduce your pet instead!

Whatever floats your boat, and hey, if you have a boat, introduce that boat!

Oh, and before I forget (again), I've written a relatively brief FAQ to help folks find their way around here.

Hey there! I’m another Reddit refugee looking to make a new home here. After a couple of false starts (not with Lemmy) I finally looked at this site for ease of use. I’m hoping to bring over a few other Reddit refugees from my favourite subs in the near future and expect to be settling in quite soon. I’m also wanting to create a community for my special interest - just not sure how I’ll go about that at the moment since there’ll be a couple of decisions to be made. Now for a proper look around.

Welcome! If you need some pointers, I've made a FAQ over here, and if you have any specific questions regarding Lemmy.world operations or issues, there's !support@lemmy.world.

Also, for when you get around to making your community, remember to promote it over in !newcommunities@lemmy.world and communitypromo@lemmy.ca as well as elsewhere in the Fediverse!
