Just checking the vibe. I see that this community doesn’t have much activity, but maybe people are interested in migrating here amidst the reddit controversy.

    I migrated fully from reddit. Deleted my comments and account. This will be my replacement for r/archlinux

    I can’t even remember if I subscribed to r/archlinux over there, I’ve eradicated my account now so it doesn’t really matter. The important bits are (1) I’m an Arch user, amd64 and arm7hf mainly. (2) I’m subbed to this community. May it live long and prosper!

    I’m a Redditor immigrant. I think Lemmy is a much better fit for the Arch community, and have had this transition on my mind since the Twitter buyout. I’m hoping this push will bring enough of us over that it sticks.

    I’ve been feeling a bit done with reddit for a while now. This is the first time I see such a viable alternative! I really think if things like this pick up traction the internet will get better for once.

    I just joined recently and I’m really enjoying lemmy so far. It’s great not having an algorithm trying to guess what I want to view all the time and it’s just nice having the power to search for topics that I actually want to discuss.

    yep! the only thing i used reddit for (other than funny pictures, which we could all realistically do without) was tech support and discussing linux-related topics. And it seems, at least for now, the userbase swings pretty heavily towards tech savvy people so I’m sure this place will be great :)

    I am really tired of Reddit. Unfortunately, Reddit’s user don’t care about the API decisions. Screw Reddit.

    Definitely, ditched my Reddit account. I was already unhappy with Reddit for some time, so while others are mad about the API changes, for me it’s the best that could happen because it made me discover Lemmy.

    I’m down for seeing where this trip takes us. If nothing else it’s an opportunity to meet new folks.

    I’ll give Lemmy a try, now and currently this seems to be the “to go” community for Arch Linux. So I’ll be around here for a while.
