I’m new to Lemmy. I came across join-lemmy.org and browsed the servers by “most active.” Blåhaj stood out to me because of its cute logo. I’m a straight cis girl, but I love the LGBT community, and being an escort I’ve met many trans girls (and some gay guys) through my work, so I’ll always stand in full solidarity with them. I also noticed that the instance has downvotes disabled, which made it feel like the right place for me, lol. Curious how it went for you all.
I started on kbin.social because at the time, Kbin’s feature set and rapid development pace sounded a lot more promising than Lemmy. Not to mention the controversies around Lemmy’s core developers.
Once kbin.social died, I jumped to fedia.io with the other refugees.
