I’m gonna install linux xcfe on my grandma’s laptop from 2014, windows 10 reached end of life anyway.

I definitely felt the lemmy community as a whole was a lot more repetitive compared to reddit when i was scrolling it like half a year ago. Also lacking more specialized communities. Trying it again now.

Been a rocky road for me, more than a year ago I created a lemm.ee account, even used that for a few weeks later, but got a bit bored because I felt there was not enough diversity in here. And then lemm.ee was taken down. Kind of a double whammy.

Yesterday someone in reddit brought up a discussion how signing up and using lemmy should be simplified, they had a link, clicked it and simply registered a new account there without even checking what instance it was (I simply can’t be bothered to do the research again), so I ended up with a thelemmy.club account. Then someone promoted piefed.social, said its easy, so I created an account for that too, so here I am.

Then I found out piefed.social has a philosophy to not show downvotes or upvote downvote percentages, I kind of like checking downvotes too, I mean its not youtube (yes, shots fired) so I tried to get out of that quite quickly. Luckily phtn.app supports piefed.social and looks nice, while on phone I already had Summit installed from lemm.ee times and that supports piefed.social too, even though its not a lemmy system or what you call it.

Right now I’m working through these 300 subscriptions that piefed suggested me, deleting some i don’t like, then i’ll probably read feed for All for a while to discover new communities. Let’s see how long I last on this fediverse thing this time.

I also have mastodon on my phone, but I was never into instagram / twitter etc, so im not very into that too and its kind of a ghost town. Same goes for pixelfed. I also have a Loops account (even though I’ve never used tiktok either), thats starting to look better, but still needs more people, I think.
