How long you been on lemmy?

Since June 2023, like 90% of the users on here.

click on my name :)

Holy shit. How did you get to know about Lemmy and why did you join?
- Not OP but reddit and the piracy subreddit
- At the time I knew what the fediverse was and I was using Mastodon quite consistently, and I was waiting for a federated alternative to reddit. Raddle at the time was already a thing, but federation was not on their roadmap.
  As per how I found it... here's a comment from four years ago :)
Why it say 4y ago but account created 2023?
- Instance admins can change literally any of that information in the database. There's a user whose account info says she's been on lemmy for a century.
- Probably a federation bug
huh I'm close
The hero we need, but not the one we deserve
Are you one of the Elders of the Internet?
- just lemmy eheh unfortunately I haven't had the chance to witness the birth of the internet

Just since The Incident at the Other Place.

Before the dark times. Before the Empire.
In the before times, in the long long ago

Since June 13, 2023.

::: spoiler hex emoji

I created my account last year but only started using it properly during the APIcalypse

June 22nd, 2023.

I was simultaneously desperately hoping RIF for Reddit wouldn't die...

Now however, I'm still sad about RIF, but very happy about being here on Lemmy!

More than 3 years now

Counting from my first account almost 4 years, a bit over 3 year on this one

June 16th, 2023

16 June 2023 - my account appears newer than that because I switched instance.

Since the mighty exodus. I’ve not been back to that other place, I don’t spend as much time on here as I did there which is a win for me.

Longer than I thought. When I tried to register I was annoyed that the username was taken, but it turned out they also dropped the info in my password manager back in 2021!

July 26th 2020, a day that will live on in infamy as the first day of Hexbear.

June 1st, 2023 = 102 days

Since January 2021. I left Lemmy for about a year, then came back during the Reddit blackout.

See my cake day.

3 days now. I miss the abuse of reddit. Jk

My very first account was in Feb of 2022, but i kinda abandoned it until the 3rd party apps blackout on June 12. Then i came back and really started to kick the tires.

since the beginning of time! Like 2 months ago, it was a Tuesday I think.

Just a few months ago.

June 7th, 2023

I signed up to see what it was about during the Redditmageddon. I'm still on both sites and always will be though.

2-3 months I think? I could check, but that's just too much effort.

Like it a lot so far though!

December of 2022. I was moving away from closed-source social media, and after Twitter -> Mastodon, Reddit was next. I didn't become active til the whole API thing tho, because Lemmy didn't have some communities that I liked. So I made one lol

3 months.

Since the day before the Reddit strike… so mid June?

27th August 2023

I knew about Lemmy for nearly 2 years prior to The Blackout and slowly gained some traction after the birth of the instance I created my account in (which started as a subreddit but for reasons around one year ago their exodus began)

an hour.

hi

(to be fair i did check things out here every once in a while since the api debacle but i didn't sign up until now)

Two years, apparently. I posted like two comments and came back after the Reddit API crisis to never look back.

4 years, everything was great until the redditors brought their bullshit.
