Lemmy

I am also part of the influx, but I'm worried that this is going to be a short lived thing and people are going to go back to reddit.

I'm happy about it, of course I might be a bit biased as I only came over yesterday.

This place is super nice and chill

I'm really digging Beehaw their lqbtq+ space is super welcoming

I am excited by the prospect of new communities and not excited fo reddit groupthink

It's cool The reason why I even joined lemmy is that the administration here allow magnet links

Honestly this platform is welcoming & people are dignified through conversations. Also informative.

Pretty charts are from here https://the-federation.info/platform/73

A little bit worried. I am a recent migrator myself so this may a bit hypocritical, but I feel a lot of people will want to "redditize" here, just like how people tried with mastodon a couple months ago or (in a larger level), how people want Linux to become "another Windows".

These are not replicas, Lemmy doesn't work like Reddit, neither does it try to be, and that is by design, not a flaw. Things work differently, over and under the rug, and I think users should be entitled to doing some small effort to readjusting and have an open mind.

I'm all for UI/UX improvements, like most community projects, the front design part is more of an afterthought, and in that matter Lemmy has a lot to improve, but always keeping in mind what it is aiming to be.

For example, I am thinking in working on some simple browser extension to rearrange the UI in a way similar to Reddit's (nothing fancy, the upvote/downvote and collapse buttons locations, simple things). Maybe even some redirecting magic so if you open a link to another instance's community, it instead opens it in your current one, so you can still interact without having to go to your instance and search this one.

If anything, as a FOSS and federated content advocate, I wish this project nothing but the best so that one day we can escape the clutches of greedy companies.

Man, I been waiting for this for years. I thought with the way Mastodon grew it'd eventually grow into a wider growth among the fediverse but it seems to happen in fits and starts. Glad to see people are federating too and not all dumping into just the mainline instance.

Next I'd like to see major names move off YouTube and Twitch onto decentralized platforms but that's gonna take much more to get there, unfortunately.

This is great to see!

Guys, what are you on about.

It's very clear that Lemmy is dead on arrival.

Redditors told me so.

Don't you see it?
