thanks for taking in a poor refuge like me
already nuked everything on my account, once 1st comes around gonna delete it
I sure hope Lemmy has good crowd control… as a reddit refugee myself
Happy to be here
Digg -> Reddit -> Lemmy
Oh no. Our non-centralized website system will get more users. Aaah.
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.
Don’t apologize. All refugees are welcome here. Although… there is one small thing you could do to help. Maybe make an account on a less crowded instance? Too many people see “dev-run” and think “main instance”. We do need to spread out a bit to make this sustainable.
I’m new here, too. How do I switch instances from the mobile app? Edit: I’m using androids jerboa
They have people astroturfing hard right now arguing that reddit is not wrong for anything they are doing
It’s open source I think its gonna get a lot more development just from Redditors
Longtime Apollo user, just moved to Lemmy. Hoping the blackout brings many more with me, and hoping Lemmy can handle the surge
I’m looking forward to lemmy becoming my primary time waster 😁
Given there is no algorithmic recipe to hook you, I’d wager Lemmy is far better for everyone’s mental well-being. You’ll ultimately squander less of your time mindlessly scrolling.
This has not been my experience so far.
F5
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.
Praying that Infinity for Reddit moved to Lemmy 🙏
That would be a amezing! I do really hope some of the third party apps consider moving to Lemmy
Amen
This right here. Infinity is/was my go-to. Fingers crossed!
It’s going to be tough for some communities. Some of the Lemmy devs are literally avowed Communists and that is bound to cause friction.
Brace yourselves. Porn is coming.
So am I
I saw admin here say ‘not on this instance’ because it was too difficult to moderate.
I think separate instances are actually perfect for porn, there can be an entire instance dedicated entirely to people’s specific tastes - making that their problem and not ours.
Would Lemmy.ml defederate from instances like that?
I think that’d be best, basically an entire porn federation completely isolated, we can name it horny jail!
