I'm excited. SO I HAVE TO SHOUT IT FROM THE ROOFTOPS.

Landing as I do at the boundary of millenial and Gen Z... I've never been so impressed by the internet as I have stumbling across the Fediverse at this late stage.

Okay. I'm done. Time to subscribe to some communities... or start some if I can't find equivalents to my favorites!

Welcome!!!! Love your excitement!

Thanks - it's easier behind a screen. Am I going to go off the deep end if I try to start a community all about rabbits? Reddit was my favorite place to share rabbit photos with the knowledge that I wasn't forcing them on anyone.

I think you should make that community about rabbits. And if some of them happen to have pancakes on their heads... well that's alright by me.

Next time I make pancakes... she'll get one on her head.

You can absolutely start a community about rabbits. I don't think that would count as "going off the deep end" at all. I think Reddit having its large, singular community for certain things ended up dissuading a lot of people from making communities based around things they enjoy.

The vibe I've been getting while here is that things are a lot more open. You can create a community that already exists, even with the same name, the only caveat being they cannot be located on the same instance. While I can see that possibly leading to a bit of fragmenting of some communities, It'll let people create their own little pocket of the internet and have it exactly how they want it.

Either way, you should absolutely 100% make that community!
