And saw a bunch of posts about the third party apps closing down, and lots of negativity about that whole fiasco.
… And I realized I hadn’t been there for a week… And frankly didn’t miss it. I am really loving the beehaw (and Lemmy as a whole) community. Thanks for being open, welcoming, responsive, engaging, and just generally nice people. I’m happy to be here. :)
When I was feeling overwhelmed by all the cumbersome clicks that come with getting used to lemmy, I found kbin to be a better way to just explore what’s across all instances.

It’s a different project but can access and interact with everything on lemmy.
It’s so cool to be able to use different front-ends to access the same content. I personally prefer Lemmy’s software, but it’s refreshing to have a choice in how we interact with a content platform.
I’ve ended up liking the lemmy interface more, but it was definitely way too overwhelming at first. Kbin helped me understand how content is spread out across instances in a much more obvious way.
That then let me know which communities I should sub to in order to make my lemmy account more what I wanted and expected.
