minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish89•5 months agoThis is my first post, on my first day here, and it feels pretty good.
minus-squaresp3ctr4llinkfedilinkEnglish6•edit-25 months agoHere, 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.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish47•5 months agoIt’s kind of a rush picking a username knowing most are still available.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish10•5 months agoand the best part is that if a name is taken on one instance you can just try another!
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink12•edit-25 months agoSo tasty names still available (There always will be many good names available since every name can exist once on every instance)
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish20•5 months agoI 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.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish4•edit-25 months agoHaha 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 :)
