I gotta say, I respect what Lemmy does and hope it succeeds, and I think it’s a good place for discussions and such (and I will remain), but good god if this place isn’t unfunny as hell. I’m struggling real hard to find some place with actually funny content on here, which leads to me getting exceedingly riled up by politics.
I will shitpost harder.
I’m doing my part!
One of my largest pain points with Lemmy is that there are multiple active communities for the same topic, causing quite a few duplicate posts to show up in my feed that is difficult to filter. Hopefully there comes some kind of solution, outside of userbase, this is (what I believe) one of the larger issues compared to Reddit.
However, I still switched over to Lemmy for my primary ‘Reddit’-needs.
Nice. Might as well leave my first comment here. Hi!
I am ready to give up Reddit, we need more communities to move here!
What constitutes an active user? Is a new lurker like myself counted or is there a threshold of minimum action needed to be counted?
Lets make this a new reddit but better!
A lot of folks here are talking about Reddit being shitty but I switched because I’m in Europe and I don’t want to enrich especially US Companies off of my personal data.
Is anyone else just enjoying seeing people create actual user names again and not just using the automatically generated ones reddit has done for awhile?
Yesterday was the first day that Lemmy activity tipped over the threshold, and there were too many overnight posts for me to read all of them over breakfast.
Reddit’s auto moderation has gone haywire. You can’t say anything bad about nazis now.
I’m glad to be part of this renaissance of the forum.
LONG LIVE THE THREAD!! LETS GOOOOOOOOO
How many people use reddit
If you are here and want lemmy to succeed, please consider donating. The devs used to get by mostly by nlnet foundation grants but are trying to shift to a more sustainable donation based model. You can see how they are doing on the join-lemmy website when you scroll down to the bottom, there are also links to their liberapay (preferred option) paetreon, etc.
