I’m on a 3 year old account. Made it way back when this was still only dev.lemmy.ml and there was no federation.

I have mostly been sitting on the account, lurking occasionally, waiting for something like this to happen. Glad people are finally moving away from reddit

*edit: can’t count

I’ve been vegetarian for just over a year now, and have no intention of going back to eating meat. The most difficult thing for me is relearning how to cook, I mostly try to find replacements for meat proteins in recipes I already know, so seitan for pork, impossible for ground beef, mushrooms for steak. But my biggest problem is chicken, for the life of me I can’t find a good replacement for chicken and my chicken based recipes are (were) some of my favorite comfort foods.

I’m also always learning completely new recipes involving veg and tofu. But I miss my chicken casseroles and chicken enchiladas dang it!

I think it would actually be pretty long and painful :(

Yeah the Lemmy admins said that they want people to make new instances and such, but if Lemmy were to take off I think what we’ll see is reddit communities replicated on the main instance or a currently popular alt instance like beehaw. I’m personally waiting a little bit for my favorite subs to pop up here with alternatives because I don’t have the time to mod, but I fully expect them to show up on the main instance if they show up on Lemmy at all.

OBS is the one that gets me. A lot of streamers I follow talk about how they use OBS because it’s such a reliable standard and works the way they expect. Pretty cool that an open source app is the standard for something as mainstream as livestreaming.
