Yep! This place is great!

Yes I’d be an idiot to go back to a closed system under corporate control. Its not the first time this has happened and it won’t be the last. We are seeing the web closing up now and if we don’t vote with our choices and content we will only be left with corporate walled silos with paid subscriptions to read, ads to watch, tracking on everything… Skip and few steps and we and up with black mirror.

The narrative needs to be democratic. Same thing with privacy , if youbcant have a private conversation you can’t bring about change. I hope you’ll all stay too

Absolutely! This place is fantastic!

I think I’ve figured out Lemmy and this Fediverse thing. So with that, I’ll be sticking around.

I’m never going back. I like Lemmy. I hope reddit dies a sad death. If Lemmy didn’t exist, I probably wouldn’t have left reddit. I see much higher quality content here.

Maybe, it seems cool. Still got alot to learn. Like why am I seeing stuff I’m not subscribed to when I filter by subscribed. At this point I don’t know if it’s a problem with the app, the instance or what. But I’ll learn I’m sure.

Part of the crew, part of the ship

So far, so good. Keep the bigotry and fascists in check and I’ll stick around. I tried to make a community (a page for my band) just now and it just loads and loads when I hit submit. Anyone else had that problem? I turned off all my ad blockers. The issue persists.

edit: I was able to make a community today. Check out !jambands if you’re into that kind of thing! :)

edit2: 12/13/23 Lemmy has lots of bigots and incels now.

edit3: 2/14/24 Lemmy now seems to have bigot and incels mods running many “front page” communities.

I’m liking it so far!

I think it’s looking very promising. I’ll agree with others here that if the users come on, some of the bugs get worked out, and an Apollo like app gets created Id be happy to call this home.

I’ve been a serious Reddit user since the digg incident so it really is like the end of an era.

Almost certainly. I just signed up to pay $5/mo through Patreon for .worlds. I’m happy to pay and not SEE ANY GD!#)$$U@) ADVERTISING!! I mean that alone… lol

Communities are filling up, that’s what matters. Code works fine. The android Jerboa app (only one I could find; is there another?) won’t run on my Pixel 6 Pro but I’m fine with the web interface.

I’m gently suggesting in the subreddits I inhabit that it’s time to move, here. My usage there dropped a lot with the shenanigans there; I suspect it will never return to its former self. Fine by me. Everything is a TAZ; gotta stay flexible.

The culture matters, not the platform.

deleted by creator

I’ve been around Lemmy for under a week so far. This feels enough like Reddit (more than Kbin) and…seems(?) to have more activity than Kbin so I deleted my account there and decided to stay here. I’ve already created a bit of content here to grow this place! ❤

I hope I’ll see more communities arrive here what are not yet here but in Reddit 👀

I will stay as long as they don’t do what Reddit did.

i’ll stay on lemmy once more of the popular content extends beyond “lemmy vs reddit”. I’m liking lemmy a lot and with better mobile apps, it’ll encourage me to stay.
