Anyone here from Reddit?

Looks like the Ottawa sub has gone dark. Anyone end up here? :)

Yup. I've got my complaints about driving, house prices, cycling, and dog parks all ready to go. /s

So far Lemmy seems fine. The Android app hasn't been great, but the web UI is workable.

Can you please add free roaming cats to your list?

sweca@lemmy.ca · 6 pts · 3y

Yep, hello from Gloucester!

I think I've found a new place to throw shawarmas at cyclists. Now we need to get BaconSheikh on here.

I was on r/ottawa for 8+ years under a different username.

Once BaconSheikh and that Arthur guy are here, Reddit can burn to the ground for all I care.

Looks like shawarma's back on the menu, boys!

Yup. Deleting my accounts and settling in. :)

Hello and I wish you a warm welcome!

New Reddit immigrant!

I suspect more will be migrating to Lemmy or Kbin, since Reddit is killing their platform

Prezhotnuts@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 3y

And they recently fix the Lemmy.ca to kbin issue so now it doesn't matter which instance you choose!

Awatto_boi@lemmy.ca · 4 pts · 3y

Yep another refugee here.

Lowpass@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 3y

Finding out about so many new social media alternatives today.

LilyIsWasHere@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Yep just found this, hope it picks up some more traffic

Prezhotnuts@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 3y

I find some of the more popular instances are struggling connecting to each other. So hopefully that sorts itself out!

doctorplasmatron@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 3y

just dipping the tow in, so far so good.

grahamj@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 3y

raises hand

KennyOmega@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 3y

I am shocked at how they're strongarming the 3rd party apps. I've deleted my Reddit account - yes, and even my alt - and I'm not going back.

UncleBadTouch@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

yup, and i think there will be a flood of new users like me in the next few days

Prezhotnuts@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 3y

Yeah it definitely needs some time to settle! Like I can't access this community yet from kbin. But that will come with time :)

Hello there!

Prezhotnuts@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 3y

Hello!

zaphodbeeblebrox@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 3y

Pretty much everyone here is from Reddit

Whooping_Seal@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 3y

I'm assuming most of us are from Reddit considering the mass exodus that happened

JCSpark@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 3y

Yep, but from the west side of Canada. Reddit's eroding and there are plenty of places for folks to get comfy around here.

LlamaSutra@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 3y

Hello yes. Used to live there but lurk forever

tartra@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 3y

I'm here! Trying to figure things out in terms of the culture. :D I don't want to turn this place into an exact Reddit clone. We're like an invasive species to this place since it's so small!

But I wouldn't mind a little OttawaLoudNoises community. :)

Jerboa on Android has been treating me well so far. Don't know about other Android options or iOS.

Pickings seem kind of slim - for now.

NotSteve_@beehaw.org · 1 pts · 3y

Yes sir. I'm surprised at how active this Ottawa community is already!
