Were you using new reddit? I don't find it that different from old.reddit (which is fine by me).
So now I just gotta build up a new feed from scratch, that's the part that sucks the most. So many nice niche communities I've discovered over the years on reddit... But it was time, reddit has been going downhill for years.
I'm in the middle of doing the same. Its a shame when you go through your list of subreddits and can't find an equivelant community on here. Nevermind niche subs, there will still be plenty of 1mil+ subs which are missing from here.
Nor do I want to create and be the only mod of about 20 different subs. I feel like that requires a special sort of person lol.
I am building my wall of Subscribe Pending
s, which I tend to like a butterfly collection.
Lets fucking go. Fuck you spez.
AND MY AXE!
AND MY BOW
Sadly those are bots, real amount of users is around 150k. Source: https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/post/176547
This is my first comment on Lemmy , excited to be here as we embark on a new journey away from Reddit.
I'm excited for Sync coming to lemmy , my go to app for reddit browsing was Sync.
And obligatory fuck spez
Just heard the news about Sync and instantly registered here. I'll still be hoping for Boost to cross over, but Sync is infinitely better than Reddit's app. A decent client was all that was missing for me to make the plunge, let's hope that's the case for more people.
And yes, fuck Spez
Whatever the number, I've definitely noticed in the past few days that there are getting to be enough people having conversations and posting content for this place to feel like a legit community instead of a ghost town. I'm really glad to see more people joining and taking part.
I came here in search for an alternative for reddit. I am glad I found this place
Same, and I'm already loving this place
How do i stop lemmy from spewing out new 1 point posts when I'm viewing the top posts like weekly or daily
replace the "1" in the url with "0" -- so "/page/1" turns into "/page/0"
it's an easy bandaid until they fix it!
Just a wild guess - but those "front page" algos must be tough to master, especially when a site doesn't have real data to play with. I'm sure the situation will improve soon!
Unfortunately most of the communities I'm interested in are ghost towns
Give it sometimes and post yourself
The best way to solve that is post some links and get the ball rolling. Can't get engagement without something to engage with. (I am guilty of not posting links myself lol)
This is my first post on Lemmy and I just want to say that I'm so happy to be here guys. Finally my dream of seeing a decentralized social media platform gaining unprecedented traction is coming true.
This has been a dream of mine as well! I kept saying “why hasn’t someone created a better social media platform, especially an anonymous one like Reddit?” I didn’t know Lemmy existed until I went to post a negative review for Reddit and saw it plugged in someone else’s negative review for Reddit. I’m so happy it exists!
Tons upon tons of spam accounts on spam instances:
And some, I assume, are real users.
Line goes up?
You failed to continue multiplicative growth therefore your investors are going to pull their money... Wait there are no investors, there is no ipo. I'm going to donate 10$.
Love it, and we’re not even at 1st July, when all 3rd party apps stop working (shame or not I still go back to reddit with Apollo to enjoy the drama).
Also, we don’t need 400 million users to have a variety of communities with good discussion and content - a few million is more than enough, probably.
The growth is insane, fediverse is coming!
I've been on Lemmy since last Monday (like 10 days). It's meteoric!
Back then, simply posting ANYTHING automatically meant you made the front page.
Hello everyone! Waiting for the mobile app so i can leave reddit for good
Jerboa is a mobile app for Lemmy!
I really hope they make it better. I have really weird issues while using the app some random technical errors while I'm just browsing the feed
I think it's either bots or some spooky spammers that are falsely reporting the number of users. e.g. lemmy.k6qw.com currently claims to have 44k users with no posts...
@MicroWave the fact that there are almost a million people that are users on lemmy shows that there are a million more on the fediverse as a whole. i am very glad lemmy federated on activitypub. so i can use mastodon to communicate to lemmy communities.
Hi all, here from Apollo.
I'm glad I caught this username
HOLD DIAMOND HANDS
I joined like 10 sec before
I don't doubt there's a great amount of user growth, but it appears that many of those are account creation spam on instances with 1 active monthly user though.
Edit to add a comment I made on another post Basically there might be about 200k real users right now including lurkers, growing at a rate of basically 13.5k per day.
Oh man, I hope this server can maintain. Support if you can. There is no CEO but there is a server admin who has to pay for us to be on it. No centralization means its up to us to keep it going. I don't know the history of lemmy world and I'd hate to see it go because it was too expensive for it's popularity. Something to think about.
I just joined lemmy and this is the first social media service where I could grab my short username instead of a longer one no one uses I'm very glad
You could always host your own instance and be the only user with your special user and connect to other instances' communities.
I typed my old Reddit username in at first then said “wait a minute…”, somehow nobody took my simple first name in the first several hundred thousand accounts created!
