Fedi/Lemmy, etc....are going to see a historic deluge.
Good luck and thank you for busting balls to help put reddit out of business and into the trash heap.

MODERATORS
I apologize in advance as I'm one of the many reddit refugees seeking alternatives. I can't believe how fast reddit is unraveling and you'd think with u/spez's recent AMA he would try to placate the community instead of inciting the situation even further. Anyway, Lemmy's pretty cool so far.
It’s open source I think its gonna get a lot more development just from Redditors

I'm part of the problem. How's it going guys?
Well kbin.social and beehaw.org have both gotten the hug of death over the last 25 minutes so that's fun haha. Might have to hop over to a smaller instance to spread the load out
I don't really know how this system works but if I'm on one instance looking at stuff on another does that help at all? Is stuff cached to help spread out the load?

One of the first posts I just saw was that there is already an NSFW only instance crested. The Internet was truly made for Porn.

Digg -> Reddit -> Lemmy
Yep… Bought Sync and Apollo long ago. Moved to Lemmy today. Slowly moving all of my main socials to decentralized/federated platforms because the greedy corpos breaking their own shit.
I would kill for a Sync for Lemmy
Mlem if you have iOS or ~~Lemmur on Android~~. There’s many more too (just off the top of my head)
Jerboa for Android

Is there porn on Lemmy? I’m not asking for scientific purposes or for a friend.
All of the main servers I've seen have a no porn rule. I suppose it's only a matter of time until someone's willing to stand up their own Lemmy porn server and take on the responsibility of moderating that.
I suggested to PornHub that they should host their own lemmy instance for porn. It's stuck in limbo though awaiting mod approval.
Edit: I'm curious, I see I've gotten two downvotes, can someone who downvoted provide a reason why? Just anti-porn sentiment? Do you not want porn on lemmy? Don't like the company PornHub? Think it's a stupid idea for some reason? I'm serious, I'd like to know why you seem to disagree with the suggestion that PornHub should host a lemmy instance explicitly to post porn on. It's entirely possible I'm missing something here.

We still need a good mobile app for Lemmy. I tried using the Jebora one, and its scrolling speed is abysmal.
Silver lining, I am looking forward to all the new things getting developed for lemmy and the like when they can't make things for Reddit anymore. Their loss is our gain.

When the main servers get hit hard (such as lemmy.ml), will users and/or communities using other servers be less impacted by the wave? Or will the wave hitting the popular servers be a problem for everyone?
Will federation save us to some extent?
I think if people can get past how it’s a bit complicated they can pretty easily just pick a random smaller server to sign up to. I’ve been on Reddit recommending sh.itjust.works because it doesn’t ask for an essay or some shit, just a username and password, as god intended

Longtime Apollo user, just moved to Lemmy. Hoping the blackout brings many more with me, and hoping Lemmy can handle the surge
Glad to have you! Tell the apollo dev we'd be happy to have them make an app for Lemmy!
I created our android app, jerboa, and there's also an open source one in development for iOS called mlem
