Context: Reddit made a few controversial annoucements, feel free to have a look at !reddit@lemmy.world
For people wanting to discuss why some people focus on Lemmy’s growth, here is a recent thread from !asklemmy@lemmy.world :
Interesting! We’ve had quite a noticeable spike of sign-ups on lemm.ee as well
I have been mentioning it on Reddit a few times, so glad to see that helps!
You are in enemy borders to get others to join our movement. Kudos to you, stay safe out there soldier. 🫡
Spez is a funny enemy as he is slowly breaking furniture while demanding loyalty in the fortress.
I hope you are doing a good job of converting more Redditors to Lemmy :D
He totally is! I’ve noticed Blaze’s posts a bunch -well assuming he goes by the same name lol. He’s doing a great job at shepherding and getting the info out there. @Blaze@sopuli.xyz
Also I took a peek at some of threads discussing the paywalls and noticed there seems to be increased awareness about Lemmy, dare I say interest😆
BlazeAlt is me, so probably!
I’m new here coming from Reddit.
Yalls subreddit needs links to here. And a short guide on getting started.
I had to scroll a bunch of comments to find the right name to Google. Then I had to find the most popular app to use. It was a bit of a hassle. Not too bad. But enough to be off-putting to newbies.
The benefit is also it’s curse. It’s all open, so there can be a bunch of names and a bunch of apps. Nobody agrees what the best app is.
But once you get your own ecosystem set up, it is amazing.
Which is a huge hurdle for new people 😬
I’m new here coming from Reddit.
Welcome! How are you finding it so far?
Yalls subreddit
Which one?
Please tell your friends to join LemmyWorld (biggest instance) and install the app Voyager (cross platform support) to get started on the platform!
tell your friends to join LemmyWorld
Is there a reason you recommend LemmyWorld? It’s not great to funnel everyone onto the largest instance. I usually recommend lemm.ee.
I just thought that LemmyWorld would be the easiest to get started from Reddit as it has the least discoverability issues with Lemmy communities.
For the vast majority of active communities, they should be discoverable from lemm.ee as well. It’s the second most active instance, chances that someone looked up that community is quite high.
We’ve definitely noticed an increase in signups at lemmy.ca when that news was announced. Not all active users yet, but a lot of signups
Can’t wait for more research and development on Lemmy from the new users!
Thanks for the insight!
every time spez opens his mouth a bunch of people go “hmm let me see if there’s something else”
I’m out of the loop. What dumb thing did he do now?
Paywalled subreddits and killing old.reddit.
There are a few threads on !reddit@lemmy.world
Old.reddit+res are keeping the website alive for me
Only 50k? I thought it would be much more than that. Didn’t know Lemmy was still this small after all these years.
There are probably a lot of lurkers who don’t vote or comment, but there is no way to know their numbers
I got banned from reddit for criticizing the mods of a popular subreddit. Perm-ban on a white vest account for saying the mods are crybabies as they once again complained about having to mod the sub.
Fuck reddit. Fuck spez.
I agree. I came here for two reasons:
- Reddit is proprietary
- Shit mods
- API paid
- Karma system
Though I still do crave the niche communities from Reddit and I might occassionally visit Reddit once in a while on my browser for them, otherwise the ads are pretty unbearable for me. The UI is also so fucking bloated. Fuck spez
Reddit mods seem to be something else lately
I pretty much got permabanned for ban evasion, even though I was on an alt that has no reference to the others other than being on the same IP, my other accounts got banned simultaneously.
Same thing happened to me. 7-day ban evasion suspension instantly into a perma on three accounts at once all because a single subreddit mod threw a fit when I accidentally posted there again off r/all on an alt.
They were all made with the same email address so I could have easily made another alt by now and kept posting but I’ve taken it as an opportunity to do a Reddit detox
Fuckers banned me too
Welcome!
I like Lemmy’s culture better. It isn’t perfect, and maybe someday I’ll create my own instance. And I can do that.
The culture’s a bit too reddit-like for my taste, but it’s alright and some communities are better about it
To me it feels like Reddit but before Reddit became so popular. That has both good and bad aspects, but overall I enjoy posting here.
There’s a bit of an echo in some places.
That’s just human s though. The only way to fix that is force everyone and everything onto All.
Every time reddit announces something dumb I open Lemmy again. I’d rather be here on principle but the content/users just aren’t here yet. Where are the cross post bots?
Why not cross post some of the content yourself?
I don’t have the time. This just fills the empty gaps in my day, before bed winding down
Isn’t that how it always goes. Everyone wants the end result, but nobody wants to do the work.
Yep. Weirdly, I didn’t do any work to populate reddit either. It’s almost like that would be impractical and unrealistic for an end user to do.
It’s only impractical for a small userbase. As the userbase grows, the amount of posts each user needs to contribute in order to maintain an active community drops to a realistic level.
Came here after the API bullshit. Takes a little getting used to but it scratches that same itch
THE YEAR OF THE FEDIVERSE
As a new user it’s nice seeing so many new users in this thread.
I’m here after the reddit news. Was a little confusing at first.
By the way, what are “subreddits” called on lemmy? I can see they start with “c/“ instead of “r/“.
The Lemmy equivalent to a Reddit subreddit is a community.
Thanks!
Welcome! Do you have any questions?
Thanks, and nope can’t think of any questions right now.
Alright, hope you’ll like it here!
Does this include people who don’t post or comment much?
Active means one vote, post or comment in the last month
I’m doing my part.
I’m now here due to the Reddit news. I’m still browsing both, but I look forward to changing over.
Welcome! Feel free if you have questions
Welcome. Please comment and post as much as you can. The more content Lemmy has the more people will engage and create more content
I like lemmy, people can actually see comments too, theyre not drowned out
Welcome! I have noticed the last week or two that there has been a real influx of activity, and it’s now basically the same experience for larger subreddits/lemmy communities. All we need is some niche community and better cross/instance community combining and we’re golden. Enjoy!
My oldest Reddit account was close to 15 years old and I haven’t logged into any of them for almost 2 years. All the same content and none of the Reddit BS.
