Welcome! People are kinder here, overall. You'll find yourself less defensive, more willing to engage, less snarky, easier to be around irl - man, Reddit was (is?) toxic AF, and whether or not I came here I was definitely leaving there.

Remember to block early and often here - back there that was almost pointless bc a never-ending stream of Reddi-trolls was ready to take their place, but here that actually works!:-)

Check out !newtolemmy@lemmy.ca for many more tips. You are going to like it here:-).

Also, since you mentioned PixelFed, check out PieFed as well as a Lemmy alternative - it has e.g. "categories" of communities rather than making you find and subscribe to each one individually, so it's a whole different style compared to Lemmy where you have to browse by All to find new content. I'm speaking to you from it right now.:-)

But either way, I find that (most of) the people here are more worth talking to than Reddit:-).

I kissed four so the universe is now back in balance and there's nothing you can do about it.
