Mabuhay at maligayang pag-alis sa Lemmy! ✈️


An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! 🇵🇭


Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

Turning this to a monthly random discussion thread. The_Yaya is down and not really in the mood to create daily threads that have 2-5 posts each.

It was painfully obvious that the revolution lasted for like one month, and I'm in the forefront of the butt end of all the jokes.

Thank you for keeping the PH community alive here on lemmy kahit di malakas ang engagement. I’m considering using this same format sa communities na minomod ko, kasi basically 0 engagement din sa kanila

Baka pwede weekly thread plus the usual asklemmyph? Thanks for all you do here btw.

Kala ko bot si yaya, feeling ko automated xa. Ok lang monthly sakin basta buhay ang thread

"She" is. Pero nagka-issue the last few days, coincidentally when yaya on Reddit also went down. I've been manually posting the RD threads during that downtime, which can be tiresome. Can't be doing this every day every dawn.

thanks for the dedication. guess it cant be helped that the discussion here is not comparable to reddit because we still are a very tiny group.

the amount of material here is not as many but the garbage is not as widespread as well.

Buhayin si lemmy.ph, a monthly thread would be somewhat depressing in my opinion. But I indeed might be the minority, having actively avoided all things reddit since the fiasco. I don't think I've opened any reddit link for a month or so now, the only time I see reddit is through screenshots lol.

I still go to Reddit at least every other day, albeit just as a casual reader and not a participant. It's the only place where you can find answers to most questions, specifically obscure passions. Lemmy isn't there yet.

Lemmy still has a ways to go nga, what will hurt them a bit when it comes to attractiong new users is yung Section 4.0.2 nilang inimpose a few weeks ago inb4 there's some specific nuance(s) talaga as to why

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

but that's for lemmy.world, I don't think other lemmy instances don't have such a rule, correct me if I'm wrong tho

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

It's been a very slow burn, but thanks for keeping PH on Lemmy alive. Don't put too much pressure on yourself to bear the weight of the community's longevity, though. Just as long as may pwede kaming puntahang alternative PH online community, okay na yun.

At the moment, mas okay nga yung monthly thread until we hit a certain volume.

Much better. Polluted ng RD posts itong community natin.
