In other news, Sync is coming to Lemmy.
the interface is just so clean. it feels like early internet and I love it.
Exactly! I’m so happy it finally seems to be an alternative to Reddit, which has mutated into such a weird monster
I’ve tried moving away from Reddit several times with varying degrees of success, this time though it’s felt really easy - the more i learn about Lemmy the more i like it and look forward to seeing it evolve. There are some really nice communities here too, feels like a lot of the most interesting people have come here but the spammers, bots and trolls haven’t yet – i’m sure it’ll change as things grow but i’m going to enjoy it while it lasts.
Were you using new reddit? I don’t find it that different from old.reddit (which is fine by me).
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$.
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.
Agreed. It’s really nice to see top posts having a lot of thoughtful engagement. Hopefully we’ll have enough to start seeing people branching out to smaller niche communities too.
The small niche communities are pretty much dead, sadly. But there for sure is hope!
For example, your comment is the first one I have seen that has over 30 upvotes since I came on board a week back.
It’s been amazing to feel like we’re part of something that’s growing so fast. I’ll miss Reddit but I expect Lemmy will fill in the role sooner rather than later.
Ngl, I’m gonna miss these early days I think. Hopefully we have instilled some type of decent, thoughtful culture on here that can keep us grounded and keep flourishing.
I really like getting in on these big threads later at night when everyone is chopping it up and making me think.
How easy is it!
I just used my Reddit name and continued here.
No effort what so ever.
Bit to wrap my head around the idea of subs being completely different communities on different servers, but I LIKE that idea… no Fascist Overlords to control the groupthink.
I guess (if this is how the Lemmyverse/Fediverse works) is some AWS/cloud instances are going to be spun up hard and fast!
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…
Yeah that’s a bad instance.
I think with the extreme novelty, there will be LOTS of devs trying out new scripts and auto-doings.
I suspect that will be learned pretty fast, published to a group, then many of the bots will simply die out.
There are many more bad instances like this in the statistics. I think it will become a problem for Lemmy sooner or later.
Probably! But in the mean time I bet some real people will join just because they see the numbers going up.
I believe instances can block other instances entirely, right? Or have I misunderstood that? This would mean none of those bots in there could ever post in our threads here. I’m sure there will be cooperation between the instances on this.
yes, it’s called defederation.
The admins of those instances could just look at the DB, and DROP all the users who post nothing. Those IP addressees could also be added to a shareable ban list. CAPTCHA needs to be added to sign-up without delay. I’m sure the experienced Lemmy admins can help out the newcomers with this. Pruning of the tree needs to begin now, before it becomes too busy to make large deletions to the DB on-the-fly.
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.
I keep seeing new communities daily and we’re already the size of a decent city and much larger than the city I grew up in. We had all types from punks to queer kids to commies and fascists. We’ve got enough users to fill any niche I can think of and probably a lot more. And we’re still growing, I don’t remember reddit when it was this young, but there’s a bit of an early 4chan (minus all the racism and homophobia and hate) vibe going on that I totally dig!
How do i stop lemmy from spewing out new 1 point posts when I’m viewing the top posts like weekly or daily
Far and away the biggest problem at the moment, lol.
It will be fixed in the next update says a developer, here
replace the “1” in the url with “0” – so “/page/1” turns into “/page/0”
it’s an easy bandaid until they fix it!
On desktop in the address bar change the end from
/page/1
->/page/0
;)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!
Soon, the novelty accounts are going to start showing up here again.
something something undertaker mankind cage something.
I want to see shittywatercolors here in the fediverse!
Where are you shitty? We want your colors of water
I read shittymorph’s most recent Undertaker post in a thread the other day. It felt like a semi retirement post; at least that’s the vibe I got from it.
Maybe some will migrate here, maybe new ones will pop up. End of an era either way though.
He moved on from being a redditor, and we should too.
We’ll know Lemmy truly is the future when we have the first shittymorph post.
Hey, I’m just here to shitpost and promote “Barbie”, OK?
Please, let’s bring the conversation back to Rampart.
???
Maybe google shittymorph
/shrugs. I got my old username. I’m happy.
Not https, your account will never be secure
I got my old old OLD username…AIM style…hotmail account too lol. My Reddit name has sunk with the ship. It was just after cheezits anyway
And I’m happy for you too.
Honestly the only thing missing now is a good app for iOS. However I’ve been using the mobile browser version and it works just fine. I hope Apollo’s dev sees an opportunity here and goes for it.
How are you using the browser version? I just can’t browse /all without having a new post pushing down the feed every 5 seconds I find it unusable.
set it to new instead of active on the top. Active refreshes whenever a comment is made while new only refreshes when a new topic is made.
There’s a couple iOS apps in development right now (Mlem and Memmy). Can’t wait for them to hit the app store.
Sync is in the works!!
You should grab memmy and join their discord. They’ve posted some screenshots of what the UI overhaul will look like in the short term and it looks incredible. If you love Apollo, it should be a pretty easy transition
Artemis for Lemmy/kbin looks like Apollo’s spiritual successor
I’m sure it will happen. There are already a few apps for Lemmy, and I know Sync is in development. I’d be rather surprised if no other apps are coming…
I don’t use iOS, but I know there’s an app for it, named Mlem. You could give that a shot, even if it’s just a placeholder while you wait for something better. :)
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

s, which I tend to like a butterfly collection.
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
I’ve always been able to grab my username. Of course, I originally (in a different context) tried “timholt”, which was taken, then “thetimholt”, which was also taken.
You could always host your own instance and be the only user with your special user and connect to other instances’ communities.
Ditto!
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!
Usernames only have to be unique on each instance, kind of like email. Even if Lemmy is growing exponentially, not all that growth will be on lemmy.world.
You’re very grad
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
@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.
Lets fucking go. Fuck you spez.
AND MY AXE!
