I’m hoping to be done with Reddit and to let Lemmy in as a new home. Anyone else in the same boat? Do yall know of any other trans communities?

    Anyone else migrating from reddit?

    The vast majority of users on lemmy and kbin are from the recent reddit exodus :)

    The main alternative sub is !transgender@lemmy.ml

        Maybe a dumb question, but can we use our logins on here for Mastodon? I’m still figuring out the Fediverse.

            Kbin is supposed to be compatible with both lemmy and Mastodon, tho I haven’t been able to access Mastodon posts from outside of the main kbin instance yet, so either I’m missing something or it’s not set up yet

    Also slowly migrating from Reddit. I was never really active until very lately and mostly I have been just answering questions and trying to help people figure out they aren’t alone in the world.

    I’m from Reddit too. I had a weird bunch of subs for barefoot running, ergonomic keyboards, movies and such. Kinda "bro-y” maybe but it was also fun and queer.

    I’m hoping to find some of the same things here on Lemmy.

      Using Jerboa at the moment. That and a version of Kiwi browser with about a hundred extensions added to it. I still have Boost installed but it’s going to go away too most likely.

    Currently giving it a try(along with other alternatives). Main thing is going to be finding different groups to join on here.

      @bootyberrypancakes @WrenofDelpan
      I believe you used the link feature correctly (normally the client takes care of resolving it without redirecting to a different website (not sure how lemmy handles it))

      If you want to access/repost old reddit memes, there were bots to mirror some subreddits to the fediverse: @egg_irl_bot @traabot
      (Note: I’m not sure if lemmy supports opening these and these are only bots, but maybe someone looking for memes might find them helpful)

      Also if this gets through:
      Hello from my akkoma instance.

      Got to love the fediverse for all of these communities to interact with one another.

    Yup! I’m quitting Reddit because of everything they’re doing. Since the protests, the quality of my feed is significantly less, and I don’t really want to support them. Time to migrate and help an actual alternative get off the ground!

    I’ve pretty much given up on Reddit at this point. Love the community here and on Mastodon!

    Fellow former redditor here! Lemmy already has some great groundwork for the trans community, and its only grown since I got here. I’m done with reddit for good, I have faith in the community of lemmy. It might be smaller scale but I dont think that takes away from it at all!

      Feels a lot like the first week of a new reddit sub, and a little like reddit when I first joined in 2009.

      I hope it keeps the good parts without the garbage.

    I’m trying to, yes. I’m just hoping we see some r/traaa revival in the future
