I’ve gone and made accounts of a handful of Lemmy instances, all of them larger, more popular ones.

… and I can’t access any of them directly today, likely due to the influx of users from Reddit.

Programming.dev is alive and well though.

    You recognise people in your replies like you used to.

    This is pretty cool. I’m still active on some older traditional forums, but I love this style of threaded discussions in comment trees here. So much easier to reply to an individual in wall-of-text discussions. I think we’ll also start recognizing each other by account birthdays, with a wave of folks all having similar ones in June and July. 📅

      Ah, I wish I didn’t listen to those people saying that signing up to the fediverse was going to be complicated, then I would have synced my account creation date with my birthday.
