New around here? Want to introduce yourself? Here’s a thread! Or if that whole practice makes you want to disappear, uh…Make someone up, or introduce your pet instead!
Whatever floats your boat, and hey, if you have a boat, introduce that boat!
Oh, and before I forget (again), I’ve written a relatively brief FAQ to help folks find their way around here.
Wow it’s crazy having an intro thread - it’s like a forum from 25 years ago! I love Lemmy feeling quite small and welcoming like this, awesome.
I am in the UK, have followed through various platforms since the 90s. I am old and sensible as my grown up screen name suggests.
I write and play a lot of table top roleplaying games (TTRPGs)!

*crumbles into dust*
I kid, but welcome! Speaking of TTRPGs, have you seen where some of these are on Itch.io these days? I’ve never gotten into them myself (not much for RPGs personally, and I don’t have a tabletop group to play with), but I’ve found some of the art & settings interesting!
There are so many on itch - I have my games on there! The indie TTRPG scene is thriving and bigger than ever - I play mostly online, and Discord is a huge part of that nowadays. Very active communities!
Hello! I’m 58 from Missouri and I just signed up here tonight. I’m fairly techy. I remember connecting to various BBS while in school with my 24k modem on my Tandy 1000 from Radio Shack. But this is all a bit overwhelming and a little confusing. I’m committed to getting the hang of it all and ditching the other place. Picture of my dog that likes to sit on rocks.
I honestly miss all the local BBSs and FIDOnet. Life was much simpler.
Hello world.
I mostly do tabletop hobby projects, I’ve got both a huge backlog to post and some new stuff coming up. I also do generally creative projects including worldbuilding a little scifi space adventure universe that I started way back when I needed to keep myself sane at work.
I’m here to add as much original content as I can for quality.
Hello 👋 I will first introduce my 10 year old cat Simba. He loves going outside and smell trees and flowers. He do not like to play for long because he hates losing. Loves cuddles and is very social with everyone. He sleeps a lot too close by 😂
And my self (with out Pic).
I am a developer. I like reading Manga and manhwa, play games, do any kind of physical activity with others. I also seem to like lemmy a lot because I have never written this much publicly before.
Thanks for having me :D
Simba’s beautiful, and that’s a cute pic. That’s how my and my significant other’s cat is, he loves to lay on our keyboards when we’re working or gaming. There’s nothing quite like having a pet in close proximity to spam the F1 Help button when they’re sleepy.
oooh he helps me deleting and writing a lot. He really likes laying his head on the keyboard so i put my hand under his head acting like a pillow. I have become pretty fast at writing with only one hand because of that 😂
Ha ha. Cat owners unite! I appreciated reading that and experiencing it vicariously. He sounds like a good boy!
He is the best of boys! Pukes only in the bathroom and sit down and wait until i tell him he can eat. He pees weird but that is fine because i bought him a huge liter box so it will stay inside haha
Hiya, thanks for visiting!
Also let's be real for a moment here...
You’re really Simba, aren’t you!? =P
Damn you got me! And I even did such a perfect fake sleep photo too!
Snazzy looking keyboard as well! Are you a mechanical keyboard enthusiast?
I am all about it in a reasonable budget. It can be so extremely expensive very easily 😂 It should feel great but it doesn’t have to be perfect. These are ec Sakura from varmilo :D they are great!
Hi! Here are a few of my wee friends - they’re very hard workers and I’m very proud of them.
Crappy photo because it’s hard taking a photo in a bee suit and gloves. :-)

Hey all! I live in the Southern US. I’m an IT director. Hobbies include lifting weights, manga/manhwa/manhua, RPGs (currently running a D&D 5E campaign and playing in an OSRIC campaign), and cooking.
I deleted my Reddit account a few days ago, including all my posts and comments. I’m all in. Lemmy has been fantastic.
Hello. I’m a a Reddit refugee, I mostly lurked though. I’m in my mid 20s. Here are my birds.
Gorgeous cat! Looks super happy and content with you and with life.
Yess! They’re so fluffy! Thanks!
Hello there! I’m a fellow Reddit refugee that quit after 10 years when Apollo shut down. I’ve got two very silly pups named Pippin and Sunny, a tortoise named Bowser, and a gerbil named Oreo.
I’ve been gaming since the 80’s and haven’t slowed down a bit. I’m currently playing WoW, Diablo 4, Tears of the Kingdom and Final Fantasy 16. I’d have to say that my favorite games of all time are Portal 1 and 2. I’m a big nerd and I love Legos, movies, books, art and ice cold martinis.
I’m very happy to be here :)
Hey, I’m Tobor. Migrated from another instance and I like it here! My interests are all over the place, but at the moment: Zelda, drawing, poetry and plants. Nice to meet you all 🍃
I’m @nihilist_hippie, I came here to scroll. I was on Reddit from 2011 till today. I’m hoping Lemmy takes off, and some of the interface kinks get ironed out. I’m considering trying to get more people to come aboard. I like techie stuff, and music, and news, and memes.

👋 - Have mostly been lurking various lemmy instances (beehaw, lemmy.world, …) and finally decided on creating an account here! Looks like I will need to create multiple accounts though due to defederation on some instances. No biggie, lol.
Hope to contribute content here and keep lemmy alive and well even as Reddit management is threatening many subreddits to open back up.
I’m on here and Beehaw as well. I like both places! Plus it gives me twice as many places to waste time on.
Hello Lemmy! I have joined this community due to the current API crisis and the increasingly worse experience I’ve been having on Reddit recently. I hope I can permanently settle down in this place and call it home from now on! Too bad there aren’t any communities for some of my niche interests atm though. 😢
It’s time to create those communities! Be the change you want to see!
