Influx of Lemmy brothers and sisters incoming. Already 3K and growing deep, we may as well rebuild together. Let’s do this! 🤝

Edit : Yes there are workarounds using Revanced. Check the comments for some awesome help on how to do this if you wish! Just know, in the future it will most likely end up being patched annoyingly and I therefore recommend looking forward to the future with us here.

    Switched yesterday and so far, really liking it. Might even say, it’s better than Reddit at the moment already.

    No heavy echo-chamber/ toxicity (yet). Just waiting that it becomes more active with more communities.

      The echo chambers are here, they’re just not quite as obvious. And, there are competing echo chambers so sometimes the whiplash between posts is a bit intense lol.

      It’s probably because of the instances that some of the subs I’m subscribed to are in lol.

        My last day on Reddit I shared an excited post about a fun thing in a hobby sub of mine and I got such awful negative responses and people telling me I was attention seeking. It was really ugly. So that was pretty much when I decided to uninstall my Boost app and switch to Lemmy full time

    Let’s go. I just really do wish this social platform does not get taken over by corporate greed or becomes a political right/left platform.

        This aged well. I’ve been seeing people go political on lemmy. I’m not even subscribed to anything. Im im on /all posts.

      Hi there - someone just mentioned a PWA (not even a full app, just a installable web page) called wefwef - look it up. It’s pretty usable beyond some of the other android apps out there already. Again, I emphasize and agree with you that the Reddit app ecosystem’s UI is still better at this point.

    Hopefully we can help create new communities on Lemmy. Nothing will truly replace Reddit but new groups will be created and over time they will become great.

      everything will be replaced eventually in time but whether lemmy will replace reddit (in this case) is the question.

        I don’t think Lemmy will replace Reddit, just like Mastodon didn’t replace Twitter. But I think we can build them into great alternatives for people who want to avoid using the big corporate originals (like me).

          I personally don’t want lemmy to end up as a reddit replacement. I’m scared the discussions will get worse like it did in reddit. Nowadays, people in lemmy actually discuss with you and not downvote-bomb or make a snarky comment for karma. I do hope we grow, though.

            Much like Reddit was in the early days. I think bots are a real problem and presumably nobody is making bots for Lemmy yet if that is even possible.

    This just popped up in my feed again. I had almost forgotten that reddit still exists. Fuck you.

    Never really posted on reddit, but enjoyed scrolling on Apollo to while away the time. Sad to see it go, but excited to see what Lemmy has in store.

    The popularity of this community might finally get me into pirating, lol. I subbed out of curiosity.

      I like that this community is dedicated to the concept of piracy based on their principals. I’m not involved, but I appreciate it

        I’m not involved either. I definitely would never do anything so abhorrent and inconsiderate of rights holders who purchased their copyrights fair and square.

        Never.

        Ever.

    got my data takeout request from reddit just in time

    ran powerdelete suite to delete everything

    it took almost 3 weeks to process the data takeout request, that means it is computationally expensive, everyone should ask for it to send a signal

    Can see clearly, this server is much slower than yesterday, like if thousands of users are switching here

      Beehaw has been riddled with crashes. Its a growing pain, but kind of a good thing
