Discussion
I have an account on [lemmy.ml](http://lemmy.ml), but I want to move elsewhere. Since I can't use my GtS account with apps like Voyager, I need a lemmy one.
Is it worth spinning up a single-user lemmy? Or should I join another instance1?
Unlike microblogging, I don't care much about owning my data on Lemmy, so someone else's server is an option. ↩︎
@algernon I don't have an account on lemmy. I was on reddit for a very long time, but can't see myself going back. Thinking specifically about following hashtags you're interested in, what does lemmy offer you that mastodon doesn't? Different people? The way it's organized?
@fullywoolly Pretty much the only thing I currently do on Lemmy is search for "iocaine" from time to time, and chime in if needed.
I don't post links, and rarely engage in any discussions that aren't iocaine.
@algernon in my experience, lemmy tends to attract hardcore reddit types the same way mastodon/the fediverse repels twitter types.
@petko Heard that too, but... hasn't been my experience so far. Then again, my Lemmy usage is pretty much "search for iocaine, reply if need be", and that usually lands me in places where reddit types don't go.
I rarely engage with other parts of the Lemmyverse.
For some extra context: my use of Lemmy is pretty much limited to "search for iocaine, reply if need be". I rarely engage with the platform otherwise.
I don't post links, and don't plan to. I don't partake in discussions other than ones about or related to iocaine, and I don't have plans to do otherwise, either.
