    Hi all, I found my way here after the whole Reddit third party app fiasco. I’m coming from r/financialindependence where I was an off and on regular. Anyone else following the same migration path? If so, how have you found the adjustment to lemmy?

      That’s me too. Came from Reddit where I was mostly a lurker. Maybe I’ll be better about contributing this time!

      I migrated around the initial announcement from reddit about the API. Found this community a bit after joining lemmy. I was more on the r/Fire, r/personalfinance, r/leanfire and r/coastfire…but lurked far more than commented.

      It’s quite a bit slower around these parts, but give it time it will pickup. Everything is just stabilizing.

      hey me too! not as many subscribers are here compared to Reddit but hopefully it will grow with more engagement. The community foundation seems good and I suspect a lot of people are lurking here also.

      I also came from Reddit, mainly r/FIRE. I posted occasionally there, but there was usually enough activity that by the time I read a post, multiple other people had already posted responses similar to what I would have said, so I didn’t feel like I had much to add to the conversation. Also, lots of the main posts were asking for advice or feedback on investing and I don’t have enough confidence in my own investment ideas to recommend anything to others.
