the big stickied thread is getting cluttered with lots of new people and the “how was your week” thread isn’t a great fit for introductions, so it seems about time to make this a dedicated thread of its own so peoples’ posts aren’t getting lost.
tell us a little bit about yourself, folks. don’t gotta be too specific or revealing, just whatever you want to put out there. this’ll be a good way of getting to know all the people you’re now on here with
Guten Morgen!
28 y.o. German nerd (kinda, you know what I mean) that has just migrated over from Reddit because… you know. Since I heard about this new community, I wanted to be a part of it. Let’s make this grow, right? Anyways, I have been way too much into all kinds of tv series, recently rewatching Charmed as we speak. In general I do like all kinds of series tho, but I am not a fan (and beware, here comes the shame) of Game of Thrones or Lord of the Rings… yes, I know, how dare I. But it’s just not for me haha.
If my stupid PC didn’t break down about 9 months ago, I would still be all up into gaming. I love it, it’s my favorite hobby besides another one that I will mention shortly haha. But yes, my PC was old, very old, and it finally gave up the will to support my hobby. And since the prices are too high for my low-paid job, I can’t afford a new one.
So the other hobby I wanted to mention is writing. It is my longest-running hobby (if you can say it like that). I love it, but my writer’s block has been insane. Anyways, I just love expressing myself like that, creatively since I think (in a very humble way, believe me) that I am in fact very creative and it bugs me so much that thanks to my writer’s block, I can’t make good use out of it.
Before this gets too long, I want to stop it here, just some side notes: I really want to meet some nice people on here and make friends all over the world, since this is the biggest benefit of the internet, right? We have a big opportunity here!
Hi, another Reddit traveller here. I’m a 30 something Brit who analyses data for a living, with a love of choral singing, reading and gaming. Loving Two Point Hospital and Rimworld- on the PC and Skyrim on the PS4 at the moment (but my PS4 died so trying to get the courage to take the plunge and get a ps5). I love live comedy and go to Edinburgh every year.
I’m late to the party but I thought I could join and introduce myself as well.
Hello, I’m user geon and I’m 17 years old. I enjoy watching movies and shows, and I recently finished binging American Horror Story. My favourite actors at the moment are Mads Mikkelsen, Charles Boyer, Jack Nicholson, and Javier Bardem. My favourite movies of all time are The Shawshank Redemption, The Pianist, and Gaslight (1944). I enjoy old films as well, typically those from the 30s-40s. My watchlist at the moment is… incredibly long, but I hope to finish some movies this summer.
I plan on studying programming (will study c# next semester, maybe Python next year), and hopefully get a job within data/IT. I want to become a digital nomad and travel the world when I get older… I want to visit Svalbard and Siberia the most right now. My favourite animal is the capybara. I listen to a plethora of artists and groups, ranging from classical music to thrash metal. I like music from the late 2000s/early 2010s since those years are nostalgic to me. I have a thing for 70s-80s music right now though.
I used to be incredibly immersed in politics and the study of political ideologies. I still find it interesting, and I also enjoy speaking to people whose opinions differ from mine… I like getting new perspectives. I also enjoy philosophical discussions, even though I’m already quite secure in my viewpoints.
Sorry for the ramble… I realise I’m on the younger side of Lemmy users but I hope to engage in meaningful discussions on here with y’all. I’m happy to be here. (:
Helloooooooooooooooo out there!
Mid-20s queer trans lesbian here, yet another girl fleeing frantically from Reddit, but glad to have found a space that’s such a refreshing contrast from social media nowadays. (A social space? Being social? Imagine that!)
I am an extremely avid gamer (FFXIV being the game of choice for me right now), and a board gamer too, for that matter! I’m also finding myself down an anime/manga hyperfixation right now… and honestly being queer is a bit more of my personality than I might like to admit. Really, I’m hoping to find a sense of community here, and meet some cool folks, especially queer folks, in the process.
Immensely glad to be here!
Osiyo!
Late 20s Cherokee in the southeast. Love books, storytelling, art, music and figuring out how things work and fixing them when they break. Oh and also hats, tools, things tools go in, I could probably be here all day.
I spend a good chunk of my spare time working on mechanical things like car parts, machinery, electronics, whatever I can find in my own little lab that I set-up. Always love learning new things. Most recently I’ve been trying to learn as much as I can about audio equipment and how all that works.
