Finally took the plunge out of curiosity and a desire to dump reddit at some point.

If you enjoy drama, this is the place to be.
If anyone's wondering what you should do first, the first thing you should do is block hexbear, and the next thing you should do is join any instance other than lemmy.ml. lemmy.world is a good choice, but there's probably one you'll like better.
If you want to know the most trans-friendly instance, it's lemmy.blahaj.zone. There are people who will tell you it's Hexbear. Those people are liars.
There is also a 196 community here on world, and a third community on blahaj, because the original mods are a little cray cray.
We've definitely seen an upswing in registrations this week, we usually have 1 a day and we are already on 8 today.
I saw a mention of Lemmy on a random thread in r/politics so I'm tentatively having a poke about, since I've already tried to quit Reddit once (for Tumblr - it didn't stick). I remember forums pre centralised internet, is it something like that?
Welcome! Great to see people choosing our instance :) Like Blaze said, feel free to ask any questions, it can be a bit overwheling at first!
Yes, you can consider it like a web forum but with the default sort set to "new post" not "new comment" as is done on Reddit. This tends to favour new content over longer discussion, although you'll get active threads like this quite often.
And thank you for choosing feddit.uk, I hope you enjoy your time with us and if you have any other questions then fire away.
Thank you!
Welcome! Yes, it is something like that.

Ah, thank you! I downloaded an app first, since I primarily use my phone for everything and apps are just easier. I think the one I'm using is called Boost? It is less confusing than I was worried it might be :)
Boost is a good one, enjoy!
Id like to point out there are also some really good mobile apps for lemmy. I use sync for lemmy. Hopefully others will recommend there favorites. There are quite a few good ones!
Jerboa over here!
Boost is now a Lemmy app!
Seconding Boost for Lemmy, was my favorite before reddits api-lypse.
I use Thunder :3
Connect never gets love but is great too
