This seems like as good a thread as any to make my first post in as a Lemmy user. I’ve been on Reddit since '09, and was on slashdot back in the 90’s. I really am hoping that these new, federated services take off. Onboarding still seems like the biggest hurdle.
Yeah, the front page was a little intimidating and it took a little time for my to get the account confirmation email. But otherwise, this space feels and acts very similar to old.reddit and some customization (like night mode) … which is a good thing!
Woo hoo, me too. Was there for the rise and fall of each (and Digg). Also - I think its up to us to go back and encourage users from all our niche communities to come on board to these other places. I know a lot of them won’t at least not right away. But we can encourage it.
Ooh, I forgot all about slashdot!
I can’t wait for Lemmy to be my time waster and news grab all in one ❤️
I’m looking forward to lemmy becoming my primary time waster 😁
Given there is no algorithmic recipe to hook you, I’d wager Lemmy is far better for everyone’s mental well-being. You’ll ultimately squander less of your time mindlessly scrolling.
That’s what I love about Fedi in general. The algorithms are either fully gone, or are almost entirely working in favor of the users rather than against them.
Funny how even the small wave is enough to take down the city 🤣. I hope Lemmy can grow to be my primary time waster. There’ll be downtime and hiccups, but I’m a patient man.
Bleeding edge is bound to cut you a little
Here’s hoping the place will polish up a little more over time.
Yep agreed!
I apologize in advance as I’m one of the many reddit refugees seeking alternatives. I can’t believe how fast reddit is unraveling and you’d think with u/spez’s recent AMA he would try to placate the community instead of inciting the situation even further. Anyway, Lemmy’s pretty cool so far.
It’s open source I think its gonna get a lot more development just from Redditors
They have people astroturfing hard right now arguing that reddit is not wrong for anything they are doing

Forget waves then. Reddit gonna slip into the sea like Atlantis
Reddit gonna be Digged
That’s would be the point of no return for me. Never in a million years will I use the new design
Hello i’m from the wave !
which one -)-)
(・_・;) the one of the normal people of course.
The sub with all the waifu plane girls?
Nah, waifu car girls is where it’s at.
Brace yourselves. Porn is coming.
Lemmy doesn’t have adult content tho
Lemmy.ml doesnt. But any instance can host it if they want to.
There is that trope about how porn tends to dictate technological advancement. Probably will have some sway in this whole debacle. That said, not being as big as reddit is kind of nice. The best online communities are always smaller.
Bandwidth is the issue, and server space. I wonder, can Lemmy servers be setup where say, someone runs an ass appreciation server. That server, when people post, sends the image to redgifs?
Then the server space issue is mute and porn, or even erotic art, etc can thrive
I think this is where tildes.net is being smart with text only, saves massive on server costs and also is safer to run for the owners with less moderation needed due to no chance of any illegal porn being uploaded
Most subs hosted their content to external sites anyway from what I saw due to how terrible reddit’s video player was.
I’m part of the problem. How’s it going guys?
Well kbin.social and beehaw.org have both gotten the hug of death over the last 25 minutes so that’s fun haha. Might have to hop over to a smaller instance to spread the load out
Its fitting for Reddit to give multiple hugs of death as it ends brings back fond memories of crushed servers
I don’t really know how this system works but if I’m on one instance looking at stuff on another does that help at all? Is stuff cached to help spread out the load?
That’s the impression I got from the devs and admins here, but I’m not certain my impressions are correct or what kind of impact external users posting to beehaw communities impacts beehaw’s instance
Our current coding work should help, but ya it’s not been an easy time for us server admins, when reddit fucks up so bad that half the site tries to join the fediverse.
We still need a good mobile app for Lemmy. I tried using the Jebora one, and its scrolling speed is abysmal.
Silver lining, I am looking forward to all the new things getting developed for lemmy and the like when they can’t make things for Reddit anymore. Their loss is our gain.
Praying that Infinity for Reddit moved to Lemmy 🙏
Amen
That would be a amezing! I do really hope some of the third party apps consider moving to Lemmy
It’s going to be tough for some communities. Some of the Lemmy devs are literally avowed Communists and that is bound to cause friction.
Interesting. I’m using Jerboa right now and while I have a few complaints, scrolling speed isn’t one of them. I wonder if it’s a phone specific issue.
The dev from RedReader wants to integrate support for Lemmy.
RedReader is a fantastic app. I hope the dev works it out.
I use the website for mobile, and it works really well
Once, Apollo shuts down, this site will get hit hard. I look forward to it and want to make as many posts as I can to increase the level of activity.
I sure hope Lemmy has good crowd control… as a reddit refugee myself
That’s why I’m here!
