lemmy.world just reached 1000 users.

Please remember that the server was created June 1st! So still might notice some startup issues... but so far so good! Welcome @all!

At this rate we'll hit 2000 in the next hour...

You can thank reddit CEO lol, he just held the most pathetic AMA I've seen, people are even angrier than before :D

p.s. also watch out for next Monday, that's when the reddit blackout begins

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Are you personally paying the server costs? How can we help subsidize?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

At this point you will be probably the biggest instance before the start of the new week ๐Ÿ˜‚

Is this where the cool kids are hanging these days? (Just joined as a refugee from that other place)

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

No just the grumpy old people. ๐Ÿ˜„

Hi from beehaw! Welcome to the fediverse and glad to have all of you join us!

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

My first comment, can't wait to use Lemmy for the next 15 years.

Fuck /u/spez!

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ah, you must also have been part of the original Digg exodus then?

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes but I actually liked Kevin, I enjoyed all the side video podcast and skits they did on the side.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Oh yeah the whole gang was great for a while, until it all got fucked.

[โ€“] [email protected] -2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Why only 15 years?! Why can do better!

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Great thing about fediverse, maybe @ruup goes full blown tyrannical, we can go over to another server.

If it's possible to build perpetual social media, this is how it would look

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Mildly Infuriating has nearly hit that milestone too! I am so excited for the future of Lemmy! GG everyone! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜„

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Great to see the progress!

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It seems a bit laggy to me, but that's hardly surprising. I hope we can form a good little community of outsiders here! ๐Ÿ‘

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Can you tell me what's laggy? Only thing I noticed is the 'Post' or 'Reply' that takes too long.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Pretty much everything has a bit of lag on my end. Not complaining, I understand why, just letting you know.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Over 2k5 already. Stats page says 2.52k

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Just signed up myself! Long time RIF/old.reddit user, hoping to find new (better!) communities. Hello everyone!

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Same here! โœŠ

Hi folks, just joined Lemmy to see what it's all about. This seemed like a good thread (is that the term?) to make a first comment :-)

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Sure is! Welcome to the club!

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Am I indirectly supporting lemmy devs by being on lemmy.world? I'd rather not be supporting tankies.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Just by using their software. They have no other involvement in this server.

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's great. Is this like the main page or what?

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Another Reddit refugee here. I guess after June 30th member numbers will explode?

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I hope. So far my friends seem hesitant to leave Reddit.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ah, give it time. Change is scary. And it is easy to be complacent. But 'luckily' Reddit will chase them to here.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I think the biggest impediment (besides the learning curve of the new format) is the fact that there are many more users and much more activity on Reddit. It will take time to build enough of a user base on lemmy to convince people to join.

That being said, the subreddit blackout starting June 12th will remove that advantage for Reddit. Even if most of the subreddits only participate for 48 hours, that might be sufficient to drive enough people to lemmy that it becomes perceived as a viable alternative.

Fingers crossed!

Hurray! My first post here
