Are you new to imzy? Come and say hi to the imzy community!
Hi there!
Hi! I'm hfwang18. I've had an account with Imzy for a few months now, but admittedly I've been mostly lurking. I'm a 21-year-old Reddit emigre who could no longer find a place there, as the subreddits that I was subscribed to and participated in turned nasty.
How did I end up here? By chance, I joined a chatroom with @greenie, and she introduced all of us to Imzy. I sincerely hope that Imzy will be a better home for me, because I would like to see some positivity in the communities I'm involved in.




Hi there! :) What's your favorite thing to do on imzy so far? (besides lurk :) )
Answer polls, and now I'm beginning to post stuff.
Welcome! Lots of people lurk for a while before participating--hope you find lots of communities you love here!
I just joined today! I ended up here in a sort of similar way - found that the places I liked on reddit had become unpleasant over time, heard about imzy, and jumped for it. What do you think after being here for a couple of months?
I haven't found anything objectionable that I don't already see elsewhere, but given the smaller size of this site it did seem to be a bit more comfortable a place.
I'm hoping it stays smaller, but I'm not sure how realistic that is...
Right now it could use more people and more activity. But you're right, once this place is open to the public, it's a lot harder to control. This is why setting the tone is so important - we need to be clear in our actions what kinds of behavior are encouraged and not encouraged here from the outset.
I think we can stay feeling smaller while getting bigger than reddit. That is what we're going for anyway!
It's definitely something to strive for!
All of my subreddits became rude too! So excited to find a website that will be kinder and less hateful!
Rudeness is so tiring. We need your help here!
Yay hi hfwang! Hope to see you around these parts more :)
Also, guys: I've created a new community. /socialjusticedebates if you want to learn more about it.
