It really feels like Lemmy is alive because of you.

When I first checked out Lemmy, I wasn’t expecting there to be so much content, so much discussion, and so much community. But I’ve spent the better part of two days glued to my screen, browsing content all day. I’ve seen so many posts, so many interesting discussions about the fediverse, and of course, plenty of memes. It really feels like the start of something incredible.

I’ve gotta get back to work soon, but wow. I think this whole fediverse thing really is the next step for social media. If I find some extra time, I’ll definitely consider contributing to Lemmy’s source code to help this project and the FOSS ecosystem grow.

    The avid and intelligent discussions I see on Lemmy are heartwarming in itself. Ngl, I never really got that with R*****. Lemmy feels like home. Just wish I would’ve been apart of it earlier than a few weeks ago

    I’m new here, from Reddit, and can honestly say thank you so much and it’s been a warm welcome. I’m getting the hang of Lemmy slowly but surely. The community has been helpful to new members and chill as hell. I’m glad to be here as Lemmy grows!

    So far I’ve only used Reddit to look at OSRS updates, because that’s where the mods interact with the community and there’s the biggest community giving feedback on the updates. Other than that, for general doomscrolling, Lemmy is great. When Lemmy.World has kept up.

    Yes I know I can use other instances, no I didn’t know that when I created the account and I don’t really want to create another don’t @ me.

      Not sure “Starship Troopers” is the best inspirational message for Fediverse users. I mean, the entire franchise is really about the effects of fascism and indoctrination, the humans-versus-aliens combat is just a delightful bonus.

    Just a reminder that Lemmy is intended to not be addictive. Go out and enjoy your life. Lemmy will be here when you’re pooping or when you have downtime, you don’t need to be glued to it

    When I joined Lemmy one year and some months ago (the instance I’m talking from), this wasn’t a desert, but this wasn’t a living place either. Maybe I didn’t subscribe to some communities, but I could see two or three new posts per day, with a couple of comments in the best case scenario. I didn’t do my part either as much as I’m doing it now.

    But now, between holding poop for 3 days, or eating beans, or the abundance of users on every instance, this is a neverending party, and I’m happy. I’m still not doing my part posting, but I comment very often. And I even have one account on two instances each (is that correctly said?).

    With correct mods, with wholesome admins and with polite users, even disagreeing, these places will be forever my virtual home.
