Hi all, with Reddit’s big API change I thought I’d get my foot in the door for another home. I’m back in Minnesota after being born here like 20 years ago (that’s how long it’s been since the 80’s, right?) I’ve lived in Lafayette, Indiana; Kansas City, (both sides), and Eau Claire, WI. I was a semi active, mostly lurker in a bunch of subs for ereaders, Minnesota, Marvel stuff, Forged in Fire, etc…

Stereotypical nerd: Books: Fantasy & Sci-Fi Gaming: Mostly Tabletop & Board, but PC & Console aren’t out of the question. PC: Typically a Mac because I like having access to a big name with integrated Unix, though I have windows Pcs and *nix utility boxes around. Last job: IT support, now stay at home dad.

Hiya, all! I'm originally from IL and am now bouncing around the Upper Midwest a bit. I'm interested in a little bit of (almost) everything. I'm another person moving over to a Fediverse alternative to Reddit. I was an early adopter of Mastodon, which has been my main social media presence for some time.

Hello everyone! Yet another Reddit Refugee, here. I'm a network engineer and DIYer with a passion for calculators, fountain pens, and mechanical pencils. Been on Red Matrix/Hubzilla for years, and I'm looking forward to seeing what this part of the Fediverse is like!

was searching for some other communities and i noticed the following servers are blocked?
lemmygrad.ml exploding-heads.com

Is there a reason these are blocked should we steer clear of any of the communities on those servers?

Chicago resident, pizza enthusiast, web3 maximalist, excited to break free of Reddit 🤙

o/ Chicago native investigating potential alternatives now that 3rd party apps on reddit are getting nuked. Happy to chat, and interested in hearing more :)

Hi, I'm Shawn (38) from Ohio. Married with two children. I've been a teaching assistant for children with special needs for over 15 years. I'm a liberal, geek, and enjoy technology, reading, science-fiction, and playing Minecraft. Probably over-sharing, but am interested in meeting other like-minded individuals. o/

Indiana/Ohio native here. Interests include tech, cooking, running, and nature. Been on the Fediverse for a while and figured I'd give Lemmy a try.

For my introduction, hello!

I am a geeky CTO focused on encouraging a distributed grid and clean energy production/optimisation. I am a long-time Linux/UNIX user and spent my early life hacking on things when we called it infosec.

I live in the small rural town of Standish, Michigan, "up north!"

My interests are clean energy, tech, Unix, security, energy policy, aviation, EVs, and travel. Great to join a fellow group of Midwestern Geeks.

St. Louis metro area checking in. Long time Reddit user transitioning away from that site. IT guy. Older but not cantankerous (yet) : ) I like board games, playing and listening to music, hanging with the family, gadgets, Linux, 3D printing, homebrewing, blah blah blah.

Just started to use lemmy. Seeing if I can post from my mastodon account.

Hello, I'm Brian Lawson and live in Lebanon, IN (just a little NW of Indy). I'm the owner of the hoosier.social Mastodon instance and am expanding my reach a little further into the Fediverse.

Hello everyone. I'm from S.E. Michigan, north of Detroit. I happened across these communities by accident. I don't like to troll or harass. I was raised with old morals, treat others as you would like to be treated, respect is not given, it is earned and so on.

Hope ya'll have a great day.
