Lemmy is booming
I have never before received so many reactions and comments on my Lemmy posts before, so it’s obvious to see, that there are many new members here.
Welcome to all the new! And I’m looking forward to see more of you here.
Cheers!
Maybe I’ll become more active now 🤔
Let’s hope Lemmy becomes a real alternative for reddit. The infrastructure looks good, now we just need the communities.
Exactly my thinking. Very impressive so far, and my only complaint has been finding the communities and the conversations I want to be in. But it will get there! (I hope)
The Reddit exodus has begun! My only regret is not learning about lemmy and the fediverse before things blew up over there.
As one of the emigredditors, hell yeah! Personally though, I’m still testing the waters and making myself more comfortable here; it’s eerily quiet here as compared to reddit, but I hope it’s just a matter of time :)
I’ve been using redfugees but I think emigredditors is better
Man I knew there had to be a more witty word for this. I’d happily trade the word with redfugees XD
Its so nice to see decentralized social media becoming more mainstream hopefully everyone will be off the big platforms soon
This site’s like a breath of fresh air, small communities and the excitement of not quite know what you’re doing lol, no muscle memory open close and open again
I did that with reddit at least 3 times a day

Lemmy and the fediverse are such unique and cool concepts. I hope to see Lemmy grow even more in the future!
I hope Lemmy does well whether reddit implodes or not. Great concept!
Messaging from the Jerboa app I just downloaded from the play store.
A few nights ago I discovered Lemmy as I needed to find a Reddit alternative fast knowing I will longer be able to use Reddit is Fun.
I’ve been a Redditor for almost 12 years now, I remember when it was a wild community where there was freedom of speech, few bots, it was the best source of memes next to cheezeburger, which was how I discovered Reddit.
I used it nearly everyday, and watched it’s decline, I remember when Elena Pao or whatever the fuck her name bought into the company, since then it’s become snipped more and more to the point I don’t recognize it anymore.
It transformed into some sort of money hungry beast, that is destroying its self from the inside out, trying to get people to use their shitty ad riddled app with a shitty interface.
I am so happy I found you guys, I really want to see Reddit’s blackouts go on indefinitely, infact I just wanna watch it burn. It’s dead to me, the owners suck, it’s just as bad as Facebook and the other main social media platforms now.
Any person I know who uses Reddit, I will point them here.
it’s absolutely awesome here! :-D
I feel like being part of the internet of my youth again.deleted by creator
Yes, it is. You can even do new posts by tagging a community such as @lemmy (this one). Put your title on its own line at the start of the toot, and probably put the tag at the end of the toot otherwise it messes up the formatting in the title.
reddit refugee here! So far so good except there’s not a native app for lemmy on iOS so I’m using a safari “add to Home Screen” webapp for lemmy.ml , works pretty good!
Try mlem. I think you’ll need to install TestFlight to get it working.
Never installed TestFlight but it said I had to opt in or something. Does TestFlight mean beta apps that aren’t approved to be in the AppStore?
Yes. An update was released today for mlem and it seems much more stable to me. It’s a good time to get in and try it out.
Well alright then I’ll give it a shot!
It’s kind of awesome :) A question to others here. I mostly see stuff from beehaw and lemmy.ml on All. Are these the most active servers?
Except for lemmygrad, yes.
That seemed like a very strange place :|
Strange is a rather euphemistic word for it.
Well I knew many people who were in a similar place in real life. Most of them were unhappy and struggling in real life and got sucked into an ideology that seemed attractive. Eventually after understanding how it doesn’t actually solve the problems they struggle with, most of them end up with non-extreme political learnings.
Many of the people I knew struggled a lot during this period and were exploited by others wanting to take advantage of their lack of exposure and experience.
Tldr; I try to be sympathetic to the people there as I’ve seen many people suffer a lot in real life going through the same. YMMV.
They are not cultists. There are more people from outside the anglosphere there so you might find them strange but try talking to them, they are normal people.
It feels like you’ve basically not read anything I’ve written. You’d be glad to know that I’m not in anglosphere and I don’t think people who believe in communism are cultists either.
I’ve lived in one of the few places in the world where a communist leaning government has been elected on and off for many years and they haven’t gone down the authoritarian route but participated in democracy.
None of that make the points I made invalid though.
i tried lemmy a few months ago but i didn’t find enough content. I’m happy to see popularity is going up, and the new android app is a real game changer
What’s the new Android app if you don’t mind me asking?
i use jerboa ( available on fdroid)
i use jerboa too (from fdroid) and it’s my first post ever with it :)
boom !
