ABANDON ALL HOPELESSNESS YE WHO ENTER HERE
Its good to see more competition again.
Woooo look at us go!
Still seeing the lil dip when all the apps went dark. Everyone went to say goodbye…🥺🥺🥺
Lemmy feels cozy. Reddit feels unpleasant
I could almost cry 😢 Toothpicks and rubber bands, your just like me, Lemmy.
Holy fucking shit that's insane. What's wild is, if I understand it correctly, that's basically linear with how many users have joined, meaning people are posting more than ever before (on a per user basis).
It feels like it is possible to have a conversation here. In Reddit I felt like my comments were getting buried
It's been really cool witnessing the activity of this place grow.
I'm doing my part. I had two posts on Reddit. One was superniche and got 30ish points. Whatever, I was happy. It had useful info for the other people on the sub. Then I posted something to the broader community and got two downvotes in like 1 second, killing it. How did they even look at it? I think someone was sitting there gleefully downvoting every fucking thing. I never posted again.
I've been here since mid June and have made 264 posts, like WTF. I'm having more fun here than I ever did on Reddit and I don't get that sick feeling I used to get from seeing all the outrage posts and mean comments (to everyone, not just me).
Loving Lemmy.
This is so exciting seeing something new grow before our eyes!
We done did it, doin it out here, big things, wildin, etc.. Seriously though, I'm happy to be a part of this as a recent redditfugee. I'm never going back. I miss r/emo, I miss r/oneyplays, I miss r/twosentencehorror, I miss all my saved posts and threads, but I'm not fucking around with Reddit on principle, and also as everyone here has been so kind and helpful. I was in a community that posted something about Lemmy being founded as an anti-corpo movement and that's cool as hell and aligns with how I am. So yes yes, I'm all in on exploring and growing this Undiscovered Country
Really glad I get to witness history in the making. This is definitely the future and stoked to see it growing so quickly.
That's an insane stat. As a Reddit immigrant, I would love to know the percentage of those who posted on Reddit and/or were mods, have migrated as well. That would correlate with the increase of posts in Lemmy, as well as the degredation of content on Reddit. Let's see how this goes.
Lemmy feels like Reddit 10-15 years ago, which is great.
