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.

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!

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!

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. (:

I just want to say I’m excited to be here! Feels like how message boards used to feel back in the day with the number of users not being crazy high like other social media platforms.

HI all! Another from Reddit. In my mid 40’s, west coast US, and was really looking for a community like this.

I was a gaming geek growing up (Commodore 64 through all current gen consoles) and even worked in the industry as a game tester in the late 90’s to early 00’s. Grew up with an uncle working for IBM in the early 80’s and was exposed to REALLY early personal computers when they were not a “thing” yet and I have loved them ever since.

Other hobbies / interests are graphic design, photography, and for work I use AutoCAD and Revit as a designer. It was not what I got a degree in college (graphic design)…but I get paid to draw so I can’t complain :)

Looking forward to BeeHaw!

Hello all! I’m in my early 40s, living in the PNW. I’ve been a bartender most of my adult life, and got a liver transplant not too long ago. I’ve been spending my time since recovering from nearly dying, going back to school for a career change, and in general being more mindful of how I want to spend my limited time in existence.

Longtime redditor exploring new territory, to me at least. Digging that there is somewhere else to feddit and trying to get a feel for things here on Beehaw.

I like my coffee bold, black and pipping hot.

Hi, I’m a gozt (pronounced “ghost” if you care) and I’m a 30 year old dude who’s trying to learn how to code. Taking a course walking me through Javascript at the moment and I’m rather enjoying it even if some stuff takes some head-bashing to understand it. Not sure if I’ll be able to make a career out of it but I’m hoping for the best.

I have pretty broad taste in things, I like to believe there’s something in any genre or variety that I will love. I think the quality I appreciate the most is sincerity; if you’re into what you’re making, and you put your all into it, I will probably love it.

Aside from that, my hobbies are gaming and drawing. I don’t put as much time into drawing as I probably should but it is something I enjoy. And as for gaming, I play too much stuff and I’ve already gone on long enough.

I’m another reddit refugee, I’m in my 20s, I like watching movies and tv shows at double speed, I’m an expert in digital piracy and I’m hoping to make some friends here

I’m Hyperz and I come from the land of waffles, chocolate, fries and beer (Belgium). Was a reader of Reddit for about 15 years and a member for about 11 of those years. Before that I used to be very active on some niche forums until Reddit went Pac-Man on traditional forums. With the way Reddit was going the last few years, and especially now with the incoming API changes, I’ve decided I don’t want to support that anti-user platform anymore. I’m glad I found out about Lemmy (can’t believe I hadn’t heard of it before!) because not only does it look like a viable alternative to Reddit, it also brings back some of the aspects I’ve been missing from the old forum days.

hey everyone! i actually discovered beehaw just today; been interested in the fediverse for a while now, the decline and recent events of reddit pushed me to take a closer look ;) i am a software developer, and interesting in all things tech, history, nature. happy to become a part of this community!

I’m Audrey, a long time Reddit user who signed up yesterday. I initially joined Reddit during the collapse of Digg, so, yeah, I’ve been there a while. I also dumped Twitter shortly after Elon Musk took over and switched to Mastodon; that was my first experience with the Fediverse. So far, I’ve had nothing but good experiences with the people I have met on fedi, and I hope that continues here.

Anyway, I am a 35 year old trans woman who lives in the Pacific Northwest, and my interests include video games(both modern and retro), movies(particularly the so bad it good kind), sports(well, I used to care more than I do, I only follow Seattle teams now), books(sci-fi, fantasy, history), and tech(to a degree). I do stream on Twitch from time to time, and I’m planning on switching to Linux when I build my new computer soon.

I can also be found on Mastodon at @UngodlyAudrey@retro.pizza

Nice to meet you all!

Howdo champions!

I’m Darren. He/him. I live right in the middle of the south of England with my wife, where I work in quality and health and safety management.

I have a background in radio, podcasting, and welding, so if you want any tips on those very connected subjects, I’m your man. Music is my main love, but I can’t play a note.

I have ADHD, which is why I’ve been posting on here so much instead of doing what I’m getting paid to do.
