That’s why I’m here Obi Wan meme
Check this out!
Can’t do that on reddit!
or this
There’s always a better meme.
Do we have a /c/prequelmemes? I love me some prequelmemes
I think is just Star Wars, search to find it.
Found it right after commenting
Hello there!
The amount of people has increased, even within the last few days, a bigger community is always better, but I’d like us to keep the same optimistic and appreciative attitudes we all seem to have at the moment, that would really make it so much better than Reddit
I just got 500 Internal Server Error
༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ take my
energydonationThey could really do with better explanation of the federated servers before people sign up. I did do a little research before I knew which instance to use
Well, that’s why open source is so powerful - everything can (and, in fact, should) be done by community for community
Usually developers aren’t good writers :)
I still hope it will become easier one day to Docker-host a Lemmy instance where other Docker setup and containers are already present and cannot be changed just for Lemmy.
Yeah, I admittedly havent looked into it too much but if it were easy enough I’d set up an instance at the very least to host users.
Yup that’s why I’m here lol
Whoa, joined 3 minutes ago. Welcome to lemmy!
I was an editor at a school magazine!
Another happy landing
There were 5500 users 4 day’s ago.
We are already here.
I mean I’m happy to see more users coming, but I think most of us that will stay have already made the move. we will see.
I’m not so sure. I think only a minority of people are the type to seek out options before their previous habit actually stops being possible, but I could be wrong.
I’m one of them (created this account 10 days ago, but had another one from 15 days ago when I finally decided to join Lemmy and wanted to test this, the other one is from an instance which has some blocked instances, so I came to Lemmy.world), I hope Lemmy grows a lot, not to compete with Reddit, but to build a big and diverse community where we don’t need anything from Reddit (interesting and informative posts, guides, tutorials, etc for example).
A lot of people have already left
RedditFuggit and moved to Fedi as we have seen over the past couple of weeks.And those who are still sitting there, they are either in a dilemma and unable to make up their minds, or they live under a seriously big rock and have no idea what’s going on with this API saga, and the Third Party Apps stopping to work on July 1 will be a nasty surprise for them.
In short, it’s unlikely that they will overcome the surprise/dilemma in just a day and jump over to Lemmy immediately.
The Fuggit --> Lemmy migration will continue as it is today, but I don’t think there will be a catastrophic spike on July 1.
I think the apps no longer working will be the impetus for many to actually search up options. They almost certainly know about the API saga, but not necessarily about Lemmy or the fediverse. Until now, many likely held onto hope that this shit would turn around, and they won’t have been considering a plan B.
And many will just move to oficial app
There is totally content that I miss being over here but it’s very much niche small communities that just don’t have a real motivation to move or individual content curators that do it for fun and aren’t being impacted by the changes.
I have to agree with this. It’d be nice to get another spike like we had last time, but I really doubt it. Sure, people may still come after the 30th, but not like the previous spike we had before.
There may not be as much of a user spike, but I would think there will be a content spike. How much Reddit content is posted using 3rd party apps, and how many of those content creators are going to swap to the official app vs utilizing alternatives such as Lemmy for future postings?
I hope so. More good content would be nice. Still wishing some of the smaller subs I was in reddit migrates to lemmy. And fair point about the TPA users, although I can imagine many of them already moved to lemmy previously.
Already here
I left Reddit weeks ago. Not looking back.
I do sometimes look back, kind of, but more like watching a train wreck with popcorn than anything
Joke’s on you, i jumped ship a couple weeks ago.
I really don’t understand how people can still use reddit with a clean conscience especially after their treatment to Christian and other 3rd party developers. They’ve made it clear with their words and actions that they don’t give a fuck about their users, so how can a respectful person still choose to stay? It was a lost cause since the beginning, the protests were never going to work. I appreciate the ones who’ve decided to abandon the ship and join us here.
People are desensitized.
Most services or products have some toe dipped in shady shit, so people have been forced to learn to reconcile with participating more or less in a least some unethical bullshit, just to have a normal life.
Want to have a t-shirt? Probably just supported slave labour.
Want to talk to a friend? Probably just sold you digital soul to a megacorp, and at least two foreign powers.
Absolutely true, when i saw that there are even people defending Reddit i just had to get rid of it.
I want to distance myself from this shit or my blood will boil over.
Cheers to a new home with people doing something against these megacorp practices these days.
“But companies must make profits! It’s what they are for!”
It’s disgusting. As if corporations technically being soulless, justifies them behaving in the exact way that implies they would, and do.
I get what you’re saying and I also completely understand why people have become desensitised but there’s nothing more dangerous than an apathetic society.
We can’t end world hunger, but we can atleast feed a poor person. We can’t end child labour, but we can atleast sponsor a child’s education and basic necessities.
Just because we can’t end it all doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try and contribute to make our society a better place in whatever way we can.
I agree, and its one of the reasons I push the people around me to think about how the world works more.
I can’t fix everything, but I’m doing what I can, and I try to get the passive people I can get to, to snap out of it.
You said you couldn’t understand these people, but it’s possible. And doing so, is step one of getting through to them.
Your so right. All these things are because of capitalism. If we could tear that down we may get a chance to fix things. But as long as it exists the world will keep getting worse.
undefined> But as long as it exists the world will keep getting worse
The hope I have is that one day, with all the wealth this country has amassed through capitalism, the government can redistribute that wealth to improve the quality of life for citizens. Use that wealth to improve health care, affordable education, build a shit load of homes for people, I can go on and on.
It’s not wealth itself, it’s the way it’s used.
