Welcome Reddit Refugees

I'd like to step away from Reddit, but not lose out on the benefits of the Homestead community--I imagine that you're in the same boat. I appreciate your help in building our own community here

Thanks for joining me! On reddit, I was 99% a lurker, so this is a good opportunity for me to be more actively engaged and actually contribute.

I'm here too. Homesteading is all about self reliance. And I think lemmy aligns with that value.

Hell yeah, the self-reliance mindset is exactly why I'm drawn to both homesteading and platforms like lemmy - it's all about taking control of our own digital and physical spaces!

Looking forward to this growing aswell. I need my fix of vicariously living through internet homesteaders while I'm living in the middle of the city lol

I'm with you there - need to get out. Working on a degree in forestry so I can (hopefully) get a job in a rural area that pays enough to buy some land with arable soil and water. Have you begun any kind of planning process? My spouse and I have a lot of planning already in place. We've even begun a business plan to help secure a loan for a market garden / homestead. Are you doing any urban gardening?

That sounds really cool. Unfortunately I have no plans other than long term ideas right now. I do quite a bit of urban gardening in my little plot, I'm lucky enough to have a nice south-facing garden and terrace. I love what I have but it makes me wish I had a yard!

Thanks for making the community. I don't have any land myself, but in a few short years I plan on having my own operation up and running!
