My account here is 4 years old. I was so excited to learn about Lemmy back then, but the user base was painfully low. I’m getting that same excitement I had back then.
Please new people, make this your permanent home and forget Reddit!
Forgeddit
I’m definitely considering taking up permanent residence
And the Reddit blackout hasn’t even started yet. Gonna be interesting to see what this place looks like a week from now. I’m excited!
blackout?
People stay if there is enough content and the user experience doesn’t suck. So fare, more and more people try to engage and build new communities. Just try to add value. Also the UI and Apps improved quickly but its fare from perfect :-)
we are come that you may have engagement, and have engagement more abundantly. - lemmy jesus
That’s the idea 😉
Donezo. Not missing reddit.
What do you mean? Lemmy started last week right? /s
Lemmy! THE HOT NEW REDDIT SENSATION CREEPING THE NATION!
REDDIT WHO!?
EXACTLY!
LEMMY’S GOT TECHIES, IT’S GOT TREKKIES, IT’S GOT MASTODON INTEGRATION AND ISN’T OWNED BY A CORPORATE ENTITY, OR ANY GOVERNMENT! RADICAL!
This is the redditest comment on Lemmy i’ve ever read
F
Might as well carry on as usual. I like to think nothing changed and we just moved.
The community is thousands of times more important than where it happens to be.
scrap the current https://join-lemmy.org/ we need a screenshot of this comment up there and nothing else NOW
Everything started last wednesday.
It’s all good I’m still mostly getting 1 upvote, similar to reddit
You’re doing your best and that’s OK!
Why was Obama crying?
He was moved by the speech Obama gave for him.
That calls for a c/suicidebywords :D
Seeings subreddits namedropped makes me teary-eyed 🥺
(I know Reddit is still technically alive, but it’s dead to me now)
It’s seems that my audience was also mostly just one person… That person is dedicated though.
My audience is one person to me I’m dedicated to being my biggest fan though
I’m grateful to see open source softwares blow up online
Yes, I’m very proud of the Reddit community for several times over the years mass-recommending open source and federated options.

It’s like a warm, beautiful sunset.
My first comment was the most upvoted comment on a subreddit. I got 19 upvoted.
People are just much more supportive and friendlier here. But I guess because we are in a state now before all the assholes join from reddit…
Maybe it’s just me but Mastodon seems still way friendlier than Twitter, I guess partly to do with the people but also the platform structure that seems to have less incentive to attack people. Hope it’s the same for Lemmy.
I joined a year ago and it’s crazy, i remember getting excited over 20 upvotes, that AMA and the whole 3rd party fiasco really brought a lot of people here!
Yeah, u/spez being a terrible CEO/person might be the best thing to happen to the fediverse. I tried Mastodon a few months ago but the community wasn’t big enough to get me hooked. I joined Lemmy earlier this week and I really like the community that’s developing here.

Same boat. It’s kind of amazing, you can literally watch the userbase grow with popular entries getting more and more general upvotes.
I miss the old lemmy from a week ago when i signed up haha, feels like it blew up so much.
Yeah, Lemmy has changed alot already for us “old timers” :)
I jumped on a week ago. The change in that time has been totally insane! I went from being able to scroll for an hour maybe for the first few days, to now, it’s developing into a full blown doom-scroll addiction…
Hopefully this will increase next week!
Osti meilleur même hahaha j’suis mort merci
Go Lemmy!
I remember before federation was an implemented feature and there were like 5 instances that couldn’t talk with each other. I feel old now.
Let’s get this to 500!
I think we reached 500 already. To 1000!
Yeah, just passed 600…
“I’m doing my part!” is probably the most used meme on Lemmy
Yeah…but I used the doge version!
I’ve already readthat
I blame phone posting :/
I feel nostalgic in advance for having stumbled on an inside joke that I was almost around early enough to be on the inside of but can nevertheless clearly project myself there.
Hell, I was surprised when I got 20 on reddit. Specifically once something hit /all your comment never gets read.
Holy shit, you’re famous
Hey it’s that guy who got 20 upvotes!
