Hello LemmyWorld! My name is Nicklas 🇸🇪, and I’ve been a Reddit user for almost 11 years, but I started getting disheartened when I found out that Reddit is shutting down Apollo and many other apps due to the extreme costs of Reddit’s API.

So, hello to all of you, or as we say in Swedish, “Hej” 👋

    Hi! Almost never used Reddit (I’m an old-fashioned forum user…) but now I’m running Lemmy.world I can see why people like this way of communicating. Welcome all!

    Hi! I joined reddit ~10 yrs ago. Deleted all my account posts and comments today once I found the fediverse. Happy to be gone from there for good, and happy to be here 😀

      Now you’re free, finally! 😅

      I’ll be using Apollo until the end of the month, and then I’ll remove every little puzzle piece from my Reddit account!

    Hello! I was also a user of Reddit for nearly 11 years. Reddit is not what it used to be, besides the corporate administration, the community has gotten too bloated and separated. Looking forward to finding a new community here!

      Thanks 😊 I recall that Reddit hasn’t always had good or beautiful moments in the previous years, unfortunately. Reddit stopped caring about its members and focused on profit, which is sad.

      Glad to be here, had issues with a Lemmy app on my phone, hence the delayed response.

    I’m a new user here also and decided it was time to try Lemmy for the same reason. This is my first comment here and I don’t really know what I’m doing yet.

      Hahah, Same here 😅, but there is certainly room for improvement with Lemmy.

    Hej! I’ve also been a Reddit user for over 10 years. It’s been fun exploring the fediverse.

    Hej, Nicklas! Similarly, reddit user for 8 years here. Also thought I would check out Lemmy after the reddit API announcement… Boost has been my go to app for many years. Will be interesting to see how the community grows if more people decide to dip their toes in the water of the fediverse.
