    I honestly can’t say about the influx. Since I’m part of it.

    But man…

    This does feel like home.

    I was already loving Mastodon.

    Honestly, the real question is:

    What took us soo long…

    I was lurking on Lemmy for a long time now read only mode, not signed up, but never had the urge to actually making an account.

    I try not to have so many feeds where I’m active at once, to try and better manage the time I spend on this feeds.

    Twitter and Reddit were the ones I engaged the most

    Twitter became Mastodon and Reddit became Lemmy on that matter, so that I can focus on being active and helpful whenever possible.

    So, what took me so long…?

    Definitely something I will be asking myself for a while, since so far the experience here have something that reddit just don’t. The quality over quantity aspect.

    Finally…

    Thanks for having me here, I hope I can contribute the best I can to maintain Lemmy awesome as it is. I don’t post or reply like a madman, but I like to participate on constructive discussion every now and then.

      what took us so long

      “Inertia is a property of matter” -Bill Nye the Science guy

      What I mean by that is that it takes a force to move a large mass. People behave in much the same way. It takes a push to get people to move in large numbers from one place to another. I personally have been philosophically very pro-fediverse ever since I heard about it, but I was waiting for it to reach a critical mass before really switching over.
