I'm on Lemmy now!
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Following reddit's decision to monetize their public API, I decided to
simply get off the platform. I'm however a fervent lurker, and love to
mindlessly scroll through links and memes posted by random people.
Hopefully for me, a bunch of nerds were already working on a
decentralized link aggregator: Lemmy[0] (see also kbin[1]).

It's a link aggregator one can self-host, but which can talk to other
software involved in the « Fediverse ». Long story short, all servers
can communicate together, and with an account created on website A, you
can read, post and comment on website B. Many software use this
principle of federation, starting with emails (but also Mastodon,
Matrix, …).

Because of reddit's fuckery, the « Lemmyverse » exploded, and saw a
massive amount of users looking for a better land to post memes (and
I'm definitely one of them).

I decided to join through the SDF instance[1], as it's the community I
feel closest to because of their interest in reviving old techs! I
never had the occasion to create an account there because I already
selfhost my own website, gopherhole and every other service they
propose, but this time I have not interest (yet) in running my own
Lemmy instance, so it's the perfect time to be one of them, yay!

You can now contact me on lemmy as @[email protected][3], see you there!
