I have learned more in the few weeks about self hosting, rust, flutter and other things in lemmy, mastodon and fediverse than in the last few years in Reddit and other social media. Maybe learned more in hacker news. It’s awesome here and love the people here who are wonderful and knowledgeable and teach me patiently without any prejudice. Thanks everyone who make this awesome place.
You are part of those who make this place awesome ☺️
You have broken out of the algorithmic chains that has tied up your attention and time to literal prolefeed. And it starts when you chose to abandon Reddit and go out of your way to join a Lemmy instance (often cited as the biggest barrier of entry: to choose an instance) so congrats! 😀
Biggest barrier to entry? Lmao that’s a very low barrier, even my dumbass understood it.
It’s easy to register on an instance, the hard part is choosing one. “Which one is the right one to choose and commit to?” is a newbie question that honestly is often overthought. Choice paralysis is real for some people…
