Your application looks good; you just need to write an ending for the following sentence: " Fuck ..."
Fuck that cretinous spez and his money-grabbing lobotomy business plan.
Double edged sword as it is, I'll probably prefer Lemmy anyway...
Application approved. Have a lovely day, and I hope you will feel at home here.
Even if you do nothing else, make sure to upvote content and comments, and subscribe to communities. Bringing content over from reddit (or even just googling stuff) to the new applicable community would be extra helpful (a lot of empty communities at the moment).
Things keep looking better here, so I'm optimistic about lemmy.
It is very clear that new content per day has been steadily increasing the past 14 days.
Lemmy is no longer just promising, it is already good. With signs of getting even better.
With more active users, more niche communities should soon be able to do fine too.
I already didn't read past the first few hundred comments on reddit- Lemmy already feels almost as good to use, way more than mastodon did coming from Twitter.
Mastodon is simply not as good. Lemmy achieves its objectives very cleanly and seems to leverage ActivityPub the best in the fediverse by far.
I've been mostly a lurker on Reddit for the past 10 years but something about Lemmy just makes me want to engage in the community more than reddit ever has. Also it's incredibly impressive how quickly lemmy improved over the last weeks.
I was frequent poster/commenter on Reddit before having a mini burnout by so many of my comment chains just randomly escalating into pointless arguments by toxic people, so I turned into a long-term lurker after that.
Conversations on Lemmy are definitely way, way more inviting to partial lurkers like me who want to join in conversations once in a while without having to think about some random toxic people basically hijacking the conversation I'm having to satisfy their need to vent their toxicity onto the internet.
I still think that Lemmy needs to be more user-friendly before it starts to gain a lot of traction. Right now, the decentralization is an aspect that makes it so great, but it also creates a lot of pain points.
I wasn't a lurker on reddit. But damn, lemmy has somehow supercharged me into posting and commenting at ten times the rate I used to.
This feels great. The posts right now seem a lot more genuine compared to reddit lately. Keep it up!
Man, I knew I made the right decision to promote "Barbie" on this Lemonworld thing instead of reddit.
Signed up like 15 minutes ago, count me in
Welcome! Search Lemmy for "3 Day No Poop" to be totally caught up with last week's major events here.
Just found lemmy today, and I'm already liking it
Welcome aboard. 👍
There will probably be another bump on July 1st, and probably more to come as Reddit makes more horrible decisions going forward.
100% honestly, I'm not married to the whole concept of the Fediverse - I think it's interesting and solves some problems plaguing modern social media, but has other issues of its own - but Lemmy has, overall, put out a good showing in the various instances' content so far. So here I am with an account and actively posting. Looking forward to continued growth!
I've definitely noticed the uptick in the number of communities and new posts. Exciting times.
And with all the apps pooping every 3 days it's getting even better!
And some even poop many times a day
Just realised I have not replied to anything yet, so using this thread to check it works.
Hope Lemmy grows at a steady pace so the resources can keep up. It's amazing it's handeling this amount of Traffic already.
As a Reddit user for over a decade that got perma-banned for reporting repost bots and blatant misinfo
Glad to see new site where I can actually be involved.
I’m excited to be here.
Hi guys just made an account and deleted the Reddit app (after giving up hope and deleting Apollo). Guess this is where I’m hanging out now
Fediverse social seem a thousand percent more chill and make me 100 percent less stressed and depressed than non fediverse social.
Had to restart my instance so I'm commenting here to make sure I add to the active user count. Looking good, Lemmy! Let's hope we can keep this momentum going into the next month (and beyond)!
Checking in ( ̄ー ̄)ゞ
More than 2k upvotes for a post, impressive compared to last month!
Go lemmy, cant wait for sync for lemmy to come out too!
using lemmy this past week or so just lurking gives me some hope for the future of the internet during a particularly bleak part of a general decline… i’m so happy to be here. let’s make this work!
i am the active user
Make that 47501!
Deleted my Reddit account yesterday. Feels bad since I used Reddit in lieu of Facebook and Twitter, and it always seemed like a better place... but time moves on and so do I.
It’s so exciting watching these new communities pop up on here!
Also, shoutout to all the devs working on cool Lemmy apps like Memmy, Mlem, Liftoff and wefwef. My week has been pretty entertaining checking these out!
This is great news for Lemmy, let's hope that community grows even larger, as more users leave reddit.
