I have been on Lemmy for a couple of years and I am very happy about the influx.
I think Lemmy (and kbin) have a lot of potential and just need more attention from users, mods, developers and other organizations;
- There are a lot of private forums and comment sections for News/review/blog websites. Theoretically they could have comments on articles federated and made available on Lemmy/Mastodon.
- The markdown format seems somehow better than reddit and we are starting to see really high quality posts like this one
- hopefully some more integration with mastodon happens so that lemmy users could comment on someone's mastodon post or something similar.
I'm not sure how to make a link to communities so that it works for everyone sorry. But yeah the ! Does indicate a community usually
r/piracy with a message to us lemmy:
r/programming is private even though I think a lot of the mods were reddit employees, I think even u/spez. what is going on lol
I am on both and kbin seems less active.
Perhaps the numbers are counted different?
lemmy might be counting people who have posted this month and kbin might be counting anyone who has visited the site.
Big respect to all the devs for handling this growth so well.
There was talk of someone populating a Lemmy instance with reddit data.
There is a lot of reddit data on a torrent somewhere aparrently.
Lemmy go brrrrr
No, jerboa isn't filtering anything. They mean they don't have access to some beehaw communities because beehaw isn't federating with Lemmy.world.
I don't know why they are saying this though considering they are in the programming.dev instance
