I’m yet another reddit refugee. Just wanted everyone to know that there’s a combination emoji for a bee wearing a cowboy hat:
🤠 Beehaw brother
I hope you know this emoji has made it to the Discord 🤭 Welcome to Beehaw!
Nice! Is there a public Discord server for Beehaw? I can’t seem to find a link to one.
i’ll DM you an invite to it; we just dropped it from the sidebar for now because we’re already a little thin with attention and don’t have discord mods yet who can specifically keep an eye on it.
We have a Discord but it’s private for the time being, I’m sure it will return to the front page sidebar as soon as things settle more with the instance itself.
Hi, I’m four babies in a trenchcoat. My interests include grown-up things like businessing and adulting. I am definitely an adult. Ignore the first sentence.
Vincent Adultman :-)
Hi! I’m not just a Reddit refugee, but an everything refugee. Or at least, that’s how it feels. I’ve been online since the mid-80s, and I’ve seen platform after platform be acquired and burnt down under me. I’m pretty much used to it by this point.
That doesn’t mean I like it.
I’m an old-time geek. Huge bibliophile, particularly fond of old science fiction, fantasy, mysteries, children’s books, YA, classics, and humor. Oh, add graphic novels and manga to the list. I’m also a long time tabletop RPG player and GM. My system of choice is the Avalon Hill edition of RuneQuest 3; my RQ site might be the oldest one still existing. Of course I play other systems as well. I’m into deep role-playing, and would definitely like to find people who are interested in that sort of thing!
My primary activity over on Reddit was recommending books. I have a resource of nearly a thousand book recommendations that I have created over the years. Hoping to be able to make recommendations on Lemmy, too.
What else? I’m a pretty good public speaker, and was an invited program participant (i. e. panelist) at a regional New England science fiction convention for over 25 years. I’m an atheist, but I advocate tolerance and understanding between atheists and theists (and yes, I’ve done panels on that topic too; they were great).
I was a redhead when I had hair, with a redheaded son. I’m the single divorced father of a newly-adult son. I’m currently unattached. Oh, and I’m apparently demisexual.
I live in Massachusetts, USA. I like cats, cooking, walking, and well-written TV and movies. I’ve been refining my grilling techniques for about 35 years now, on a lifelong quest to make the perfect burger.
Hi, I’m an architect and I eat too much mayonnaise. Used to be on reddit and forums and bbses and I found my way here. I love reading scifi but I wasn’t too active on reddit because of the enders game brownshirts. It’s nice being here
Please say more about the Ender’s Game brownshirts. I’m curious whether that’s related to the film adaptation or the personality of the author.
Hello there! I’m Smiley, lovely to meet you all. (✿◡‿◡)
Like a lot of new people here I’m a Reddit refugee. I’ve always been a lurker so making posts and commenting is rather daunting, though from what I’ve seen this community is really nice. :D
I look forward to posting my art, photography and cat pics! 🎨📸🐈💖Hello, I’m green_witch!
I’m a travel-weary drifter from the festering ruins of “that place”, where I spent most of my time lurking.
I enjoy herbalism, mycology, bushcraft, botany, nature, and consider myself a student therein. I’m unfortunately pretty timid, and my grasp on language is tenuous at best, but I’m trying to open up more and (hopefully) be a part of a community.
I hope we can all treat each other well and make something neat together.
Hi, I’m Omni. Older cis het white dude. Likes math. Not as dipshitty as the previous two sentences imply, I hope.
In a previous life, I wrote a moderately successful indie game. Currently, working part time in R&D for a small nuclear engineering company, and spending the rest of my time in independent study. Currently working on group theory.
Hello I’m a nonbinary/masc leaning lil guy. I work with high risk populations at a non profit in the pnw. Feels weird to not be a programmer or something, seems that’s what all the bee-hawers and fediverse users are into these days. Um, I’m autistic and have adhd, in my mid 30s, like to ride my bike, play pikmin bloom, garden, and take up hobbies quickly and then leave them for like 3 years. Oh I am also a really yuge music nerd, like, actually. Mmmmmmmyeap
G’day all, Dalek_Thal here, having walked through a door to a new dimension by doing midichlorians.
Definitely looking forward to what Lemmy brings, my hope is that I’ll get my old subreddits back, given time.
An all pronouns using aroace agender with a deep love of tech, videogames, writing, art, and gender non conformity. I recently graduated from high school, and I am planning on going to tech/writing. I’m also planning on building my own PC soon! It’ll hopefully help me understand technology a lot more :3
Here from Reddit (Apollo user).
I am a HS Biology teacher with a previous career in game development. Very involved in gamification and VR in education (creating in VR, the apps that can be used in a classroom are lacking at the moment).
If it dates me, I had a Digg account back in the day and have spent more time on MySpace than Facebook.
Fellow HS teacher here. Definitely interested in your thoughts on VR–I imagine you’re imagining things like visualizing parts of cells?
Sure! Gallery walk experiences of anything that can be represented with a 3D model is a fairly straightforward first step for VR in the classroom. This last year I had students use the “nanome” app to look at receptor proteins and the compounds they interact with and they can attempt to see where they think the active site might be as a 3D puzzle exercise.
For a while, Labster was doing interesting work in the VR space with immersive Biotech labs (they gambled on Google’s VR hardware and software platform and pivoted to remote learning apps when Google dropped support). I liked how they made it safe/memorable to mess up a lab. For instance, there was a chemistry lab where it would tell you to wear goggles but would continue the experience if you didn’t actually do the goggles step. At a later stage, if you mixed compounds wrong, the reaction explodes and if you hadn’t worn goggles, you go “blind” (game over / restart level). Students talk about such moments amongst themselves as if they’re discovered an Easter egg, and when you instruct them to wear goggles during a real lab they are a little faster to comply. :)
Hi! :)
Like so many others, I came from Reddit and I’m gonna stay here. It’s nice.
I’m somewhere between 30 and 40, a writer and full time nerd from Germany, I stream and game, I paint and draw and I have two wonderful cats. I like pen & paper rpgs, games in general (except horror), reading, knitting, crocheting, animals, manga, comics, music and listening to the same song on repeat. Also, I probably forgot something.
Thanks for having me here!
Glad to see that I am not the only one a bit lost but excited with this transition from reddit.
Hopefully this fediverse-thing will be way better and more resilient than everything past.
I was finally able to subscribe to other instances. YAY!
Hi all! Another one of those pesky "reddit-fugees” as it were. It was my only sort of “social media” which I mostly used to post pictures of things I baked and try to have positive interactions with other online community members. So needless to say I’m glad I found this server/instance and I’m looking forward to participating in the community.
Beeeeeeeeeeeehawwwwwwwww!!! 🍁
I look forward to seeing things you bake. I am the worlds worst baker but joined all the baking related subreddits to live vicariously through others!
If you were on all the baking subreddits you might’ve already seen a bake of mine. I’m not exactly the best with deco (working on it though), but I’m pretty good with flavor and texture—not that those things translate well in a digital medium lol. Either way, hopefully I don’t disappoint. 🍁
Hi! In an effort to not be a lurker, I’m going to introduce myself. I’m mid thirties, product manager by trade, dog person who recently came to have a cat when a kitten wandered into my house two weeks ago. Cis male. Bad at posting. Excited to see where this goes!
