I wonder what happened during the small dip . Very good news though!
Subjectively, Lemmy’s communities are much more robust and have a lot more content than they did during the Reddit API exodus. I imagine there will be more people who choose to stay this time around.
Yep, I discovered let me during the API Exodus, and then came back recently with this last wave. They’re definitely feels like there’s a lot more here than last time!
Also finding a lot of value in reading and actually interacting with comments and content, on Reddit I just felt kind of drowned out and a lurker
Yeah working a lot of OT seeding this joint!
The problem is that communities feel dead if they’re below a certain critical mass of users and the resulting content. If we can hit that critical mass it will take off on its own
Yep we all need to get posting and chatting to encourage others
I’m trying to do my part
Love your name BTW its adorable
Probably we can thank king Trump and the magnificent 7 horseman.
Is this something that should be really celebrated? I mean, the reason I joined is because it’s not reddit. And I feel that this place will turn into reddit 2.0 if we’re not careful.
New guy here. Signikg up was a bitch but glad to be here :)
What made it a bitch? Genuinely curious.
Instances - what are they and how does it work together. Also slow password reset emails. I have three accounts now.
I still don’t really understand but i am in 🤷♂️
Think about instances as email providers. You pick a provider (feddit.dk, feddit.uk, lemmy.wtf etc.) to access everything from all the other Lemmy providers + the rest of “the Fediverse”, which fx consists of Mastodon, PeerTube and Pixelfed.
Was it on Feddit.dk you had issues with slow emails? That might be something the admin, @[email protected] should look into.
Thank you for the reply. The thing is, and I think this will apply to others too, I’m just a casual user. Unknown boxes scare me.
Couldn’t they be hidden away on signup (prefilled) and only visible when you click ‘advanced’.
Also, I have a mastodon account too. Are they now the same thing?
Måske det hjælper hvis man skifter til dansk, så vi ikke bliver forvirret af sprogbrugen :)
Som @[email protected] siger så er fediverset decentraliseret - det vil sige at i stedet for at der kun er en udbyder (fx Reddit), så er der mange udbydere af sociale medier som hænger sammen. Man plejer at kalde hver udbyder en “instans”, altså Feddit.dk er en instans, lemmy.world er en anden instans. Så man vælger en udbyder/instans, ligesom man vælger om man går i Netto eller Rema (selvom de jo tit har de samme ting).
Mastodon fungerer på samme måde, dvs. der er mange instanser der kører Mastodon-softwaren som alle hænger sammen. Faktisk hænger Mastodon og Lemmy også sammen, da de bruger samme underliggende protokol. Det er der hvor det bliver rigtig fedt for så kan man begynde at skrive fra Mastodon til Lemmy eller den anden vej. Det ville svare til at skrive fra Twitter til Reddit eller den anden vej, noget man aldrig kunne forestille sig i de traditionelle kommercielle sociale medier.
Jeg forstår godt at meget af det her er anderledes end hvordan de traditionelle centraliserede sociale medier virker, og jeg er sikker på du ikke er den eneste der er forvirret. Jeg tror faktisk det ville være rigtig fint hvis du stillede dine spørgsmål og forundringer som et indlæg i [email protected], så kunne andre på Feddit.dk også måske få glæde af forklaringerne :)
What “boxes” are you talking about here, when signing up on a Lemmy provider?
Mastodon and Lemmy is different software, serving two different functions, but they are connected. So it is possible for a user on Mastodon to create and comment on posts from Mastodon, on Lemmy.
If you follow this link to Mastodon.social, you can see this post and our comments.
If it helps, you can check out PieFed.social - the topic areas are at the top, no need for an account until you have decided to become active with voting, comments, or posts, and in that case there’s a sign-up wizard offering to subscribe you to topic areas of your choice, and put up keyword filtering for “Trump” or “Musk” or some such, to either see that content never, only a little, or not filter it at all.
Maybe you don’t need all that anymore, perhaps you’ve already found an app that you like that does similarly (Sync or Connect?), but I thought I’d mention just in case:-).
I’ve been trying all the open social options and Lemmy is by far the most entertaining and active.
I can’t remember one instance of a company being bought out and then made better by investors. That’s why I came here. I just don’t like people like that. I hate how everything is about money.
I just really wish there was more active communities for things I like.
I made the Path of Exile community which is currently empty.
There’s no Burning Man community yet for SOME UNKNOWN REASON
All the EDM communities are dead including the one I made.
Send Help!
Glad to be here!!
That can’t be true. we only have 466 judging by the upvote count. xD
(check again:-)
What does “active” mean in this context? Is giving an upvote or opening the app enough, or do I need to write a comment/post?
Do people using RSS readers contribute to these stats at all?
This is what happened when I joined obviously
Woo more people to join our cult. Everyone will get their robes in the mail
Well at least Nicole from Toronto in their inbox.
Wait, I’ve been here almost 2 years, where’s my robes‽
You and I will be considered the early adaptors. People will guess as to why we migrated so early.
The real robes were the Caroline’s we got DMed by along the way.
Is Caroline like the new Nicole? The site’s moving too fast already, I can’t keep up!
No, I’m just terrible with names… blew it again…
You know what you did
I cut the sleeves off of mine, that was probably my crime. Sleeves are like pants; the fewer you wear the better your day is.
My guess is robe crimes
Namely disrobing at inopportune times.
He is a chronic feudposter and tankies live rent free in his basement.
So… he is a good landlord?
>:( you know too much now
What’s the password?
Tap for spoiler
Fidelio gets the Pianist into trouble
What is the reddit drama this time?
Well out right ban on the american hero’s name along with pandering to alt right and their parasite owners.
It’s the ever enduring brain melting Enshittification… I heard you can now buy decorations or something similar for your sub. I don’t have a source for this, but afaik they have been adding new features for reddditors to spend their money on.
Tension over there is huge. After I turned a little more political in my comments, it took me only 2 months or so to accrue 3 temp bans. The appeals were not heard, they are wrong and don’t care. The last appeal got me booted forever. Prepare for way more users.
Getting in trouble for upvoting restricted material. If you continually upvote stuff that reddit deems not allowed on the site you get banned.
