Personally, I wouldn’t mind if Beehaw changes forum software. I first came here to check out Lemmy on what looked like a safe instance, yes, but I stayed because I appreciated the calm community. I stopped participating when the Reddit migration happened, however, and Beehaw got more attention than before from other instances, and posters who don’t appreciate Beehaw’s policies. TBF however, recently I’ve gotten into more traditional forums, so perhaps I’m biased. But I believe that Beehaw is more than a Lemmy instance.

Welcome to Beehaw!

Ding, ding, ding! 🎉

Yes, I was thinking of The Sims.

Live out your fantasy life.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but people on Mastodon can follow Lemmy communities and create or comment on posts. The reverse can’t be said for Lemmy.
