I really like fanfiction. Reading and writing it. Nobody in my life knows and I plan on keeping it that way.

No one IRL knows I help run a Lemmy instance and I plan on keeping it that way for now as it's going to take too much explaining.

I've tried explaining Lemmy to people and they do not understand. They are like "just use reddit bro"

I stopped using Reddit when the API protests happened and haven't gone back. I honestly think Lemmy is far superior. I love seeing and interacting with the same people in varying threads. Feels like an actual community.

"Reddit but run by non profits" is the simplest I find, even though that's not completely accurate

"Like reddit but not owned by a single company" is how I've put it.
