The groundwork made in the apps, frontends, tools and instances is finally paying off. The masses are noticing the value!
I finally made the move to setting up an account here and wean my reddit usage.
It's getting so bad on there, so many bots, trolls, and paid agitators. Plus the uptick in fascist apologists. Smaller communities with higher bars to entry produce better conversation, in my experience.
Welcome!
This place is so much better for actually discussing things.
I’ve logged back onto here for the first time in ages because I do not trust big tech.
because I do not trust big tech.
Dude, same. I mean, I get that's why many are here, but it's just gotten so much worse lately.
Starting to build my first Linux machine to use as my daily driver laptop. Been meaning to get into it all for years, but Microsoft's constant shenanigans as of late and everyone on Lemmy really pushed me to take the plunge.
It'll be a "baby's first project" of a used Thinkpad running on Mint, but it's a start to getting out from under these corporate fucks. Every step away is a step to which I'm not planning to return.
Welcome back!
Hard to believe how many of us there actually are, yet social media has conditioned us into believing a website is dead unless it has 50 million daily visitors.
We certainly aren't hurting for content (well, yes, we are, but the archive is being built as we speak.)
I was on reddit for sixteen years, and on digg and a little slashdot for several years before that. I spend a lot of time in places like these. I'm not even on a super popular instance, and there's plenty of content here.
Thank fuck, maybe I can go back to being a lurker lol
I've probably posted more here in just the last couple months than my entire decade+ years old Reddit account LMAO
I tend to lurk just because I have nothing to add to the conversation lol
I don't let that stop me.
My app tells me I upvoted you 12 times in the last 10 days. Thank you
As a fellow lurker, I sincerely thank you and everyone else that has been putting in the extra effort to post threads and comments!
Fellow lurker at heart here. Kinda heartwarming to see a bunch of lurkers doing things out of their comfort zone!
So we have about as many users as the subreddit dedicated to Taylor Swift's armpits
If only we could find a way to have such quality content here! If only...
This is hilarious, but I need facts.
All together, we (Lemmy) are hotter than oatmeal, but we're less interesting than office chairs. (On Reddit).
Everyone is comparing active users to total users though, Lemmy's total users is about 10x the number of actives users at 477k. I think you have to post or comment to be marked active?
Think it was changed to include upvotes/downvotes. Could be wrong, saw it on a similar thread.
Ooh. Interesting. Thanks. Might need to revisit. See if we can compete with office chairs, after all. Lol.
Lfg!!!
Yeah, I can tell; I've had a sharp uptick in people picking arguments and then sticking their fingers in their ears.
No you haven't!
I mean, if they drop a hot fucking meme like this every time I wouldn't even be mad.
