Honestly, I also try to be more active as a user in Lemmy, and it feels way more rewarding because it feels like a more tight-knitly community here. Like it a lot!
im really liking how lemmy works and i think its interesting to learn about the details and i like the philosophy it runs on. im glad to be a part of this community!
For reference point:
On July first 1 am, we had 62k people.
As of right now, we’re at 75k
80k
And on June ~10th we first got 2k people. This growth is equal parts insane and inspiring.
The most impressive thing is that ruud has kept up with the growth and this instance is still running.
I guess that’s because “World” is a pretty bold statement and suggests an expanse that can accommodate a truckload of migrants. Add to that the open signups and my natural aversion to smaller instances (I tend to think someone with a few users may feel tempted to pull the plug at any moment), and here we are. By the way, I have had a great experience with Connect for Lemmy - if anyone is interested.
I did my part. By which I mean I made an account and made a single comment (well, two now.)
Still hoping to find a good comparable app to Slide for Reddit. Liftoff for Lemmy has fairly similar comment layout at least.
Is there any concern that world’s population might overload the server? I keep reading that we need to spread the server load to other instances.
Is lemmy slow for everyone or just me? I’m wondering if I need to switch instance
For me lemmy.world was quite slow for me but every other instance works just fine.
Yeah it’s just growing pains
Love to see the success Lemmy is seeing with the Reddit migration. It’s a key time where a lot of people are looking for Reddit alternatives, and first impressions go a long way. I hope Lemmy continues to see growth so that it can become a true competitor to Reddit.
Lemmy perfectly represents the adage “building the plane as you fly it” and it’s been so much fun seeing it take shape.
Love the decentralized model. I’m so over corporate run sites looking to make a profit
If you use it YOU GOTTA GIVE. EVERYBODY GIVES!
Friendly reminder to donate to your home instance if possible! Every little bit helps :)
Reddit refugee here. F spez.
Glad to see Refugees like myself finding a new home. I’d be interested in sporting some merchandise it some of the proceeds go back into covering costs etc…
Glad to see people moving here from reddit. I might move to another instance if these errors persist, but it’s ok for now while I familiarize with the whole fediverse thing
