I’m trying to never go back to the other place, but the thing I miss is that there was always a lively conversation going on somewhere. On lemmy, it seems people don’t want to just have a conversation-it’s either serious or techy- I’m looking for light conversations?

Does this happen anywhere on lemmy where responses to your comments come sooner than a day, and people are just sort of in the ‘lobby’ chatting?

    Lafayette Louisiana here. I just think because it’s such a techie group it tends to have a lot of introverts. Me included.

    What got my sucked into Lemmy admittedly is the federation nature, which I’m new to. The reddit events was the push I needed to commit to setting up my own instance!

    I assume you joined also because of the reddit stuff?

      Louisiana crew! I’m from Shreveport, but I live in Colorado now. My ex wife is from Lafayette. Been there a few times.

              How long have you been there? I left LA the first time when I was 17 for 10 years (military). Then came home for about 8 and left again for here and I don’t think I’m going anywhere.

                Since the 1980s lol. I said BACK to CO only because I spent a summer in Estes Park, and always imagined I’d come back to live out there

                  Oh wow. I would highly recommend it. I love Colorado. I was hesitant to come, but I can’t imagine living in the South again. Mostly the politics and racism. I’m half Korean and I just never felt accepted in the south. Always felt out of place.
