I'm here! Trying to figure things out in terms of the culture. :D I don't want to turn this place into an exact Reddit clone. We're like an invasive species to this place since it's so small!
But I wouldn't mind a little OttawaLoudNoises community. :)
I think I've found a new place to throw shawarmas at cyclists. Now we need to get BaconSheikh on here.
I was on r/ottawa for 8+ years under a different username.
Once BaconSheikh and that Arthur guy are here, Reddit can burn to the ground for all I care.
Looks like shawarma's back on the menu, boys!
Yup. I've got my complaints about driving, house prices, cycling, and dog parks all ready to go. /s
So far Lemmy seems fine. The Android app hasn't been great, but the web UI is workable.
Can you please add free roaming cats to your list?
Yep, hello from Gloucester!
Yup. Deleting my accounts and settling in. :)
Hello and I wish you a warm welcome!
Yep another refugee here.
New Reddit immigrant!
I suspect more will be migrating to Lemmy or Kbin, since Reddit is killing their platform
And they recently fix the Lemmy.ca to kbin issue so now it doesn't matter which instance you choose!
Finding out about so many new social media alternatives today.
Yep just found this, hope it picks up some more traffic
I find some of the more popular instances are struggling connecting to each other. So hopefully that sorts itself out!
raises hand
Hello there!
Hello!
I am shocked at how they're strongarming the 3rd party apps. I've deleted my Reddit account - yes, and even my alt - and I'm not going back.
just dipping the tow in, so far so good.
yup, and i think there will be a flood of new users like me in the next few days
Yeah it definitely needs some time to settle! Like I can't access this community yet from kbin. But that will come with time :)
Pretty much everyone here is from Reddit
I'm assuming most of us are from Reddit considering the mass exodus that happened
Yes sir. I'm surprised at how active this Ottawa community is already!
Jerboa on Android has been treating me well so far. Don't know about other Android options or iOS.
Pickings seem kind of slim - for now.

Yep, but from the west side of Canada. Reddit's eroding and there are plenty of places for folks to get comfy around here.
Hello yes. Used to live there but lurk forever
