I am ready to give up Reddit, we need more communities to move here!
One of my largest pain points with Lemmy is that there are multiple active communities for the same topic, causing quite a few duplicate posts to show up in my feed that is difficult to filter. Hopefully there comes some kind of solution, outside of userbase, this is (what I believe) one of the larger issues compared to Reddit.
However, I still switched over to Lemmy for my primary ‘Reddit’-needs.
I’m glad to be part of this renaissance of the forum.
LONG LIVE THE THREAD!! LETS GOOOOOOOOO
Nice. Might as well leave my first comment here. Hi!
Yesterday was the first day that Lemmy activity tipped over the threshold, and there were too many overnight posts for me to read all of them over breakfast.
Probably we can thank king Trump and the magnificent 7 horseman.
Is anyone else just enjoying seeing people create actual user names again and not just using the automatically generated ones reddit has done for awhile?
I use autogenerated names from Bitwarden for my usernames everywhere XD
Welcome all
This is what happened when I joined obviously
Reddit’s auto moderation has gone haywire. You can’t say anything bad about nazis now.
I legit got permabanned for implying that fascists deserve the fate of Mussolini.
Insane.
They can nazi how bad that is for them either
A lot of folks here are talking about Reddit being shitty but I switched because I’m in Europe and I don’t want to enrich especially US Companies off of my personal data.
Same here: Deleted my 13y Reddit account along with every other US tech account except Google, as I need that for my livelihood.
Censorship wasn’t the motivation, I rather want to permanently remove my support for the US economy in any way possible, given the shocking geopolitical events of this year and the way they are treating Ukraine.
Besides, the Federverse feels like going back to the internet’s roots and I’m here for it!
Then you’ll be happy to know that Lemmy is 100% EU funded.
I’d be here more if I didn’t need to re-log in every few pages. It’s annoying, and I haven’t found a solution.
“What?! Logged out again?! Well, screw it, at least Reddit doesn’t log me out every time I refresh a page.”
That’s really good to see. But it will be far more interesting to see what the numbers are a month and longer are from now. If they don’t stick, it’s pretty meaningless.
They won’t all stick. That’s just the nature of things, no site/game/service/what-have-you boasts a 100% retention rate. Hell, not even heroin does. But with every MAU bump, some amount of them do stick around, and with every such increase to the baseline MAUs we get closer to critical mass.
Ready for this
