MODERATORS
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
Are you personally paying the server costs? How can we help subsidize?
Ah. There's a donation link on the front page. Just set up a recurring donation.
I would totally donate for running costs.
At this point you will be probably the biggest instance before the start of the new week π

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

Is this where the cool kids are hanging these days? (Just joined as a refugee from that other place)
I can Digg this place
Hello fellow Digg refugee.
Just signed up myself! Long time RIF/old.reddit user, hoping to find new (better!) communities. Hello everyone!

That's great! I remember just a few days ago that it had only 100 users, it's growing quickly!
Hello fellow reddit refugees. Very interested in learning Lemmy and figuring out how contribute to the community.
Good evening! All new to me too! Looking forward to figuring things out for a new start!
Just noticed lemmy.world is now 1 of the 4 instances recommended on join-lemmy. Congratulations on that too!
Wasn't it at like 200 just 2-3 days ago? That's a massive increase!
Yeah the server was just installed June 1st. Growth is crazy.
(But I've seen crazier with mastodon.world, which had 4000 new users per hour at the peak..
There is still time to see that sort of growth on here, particularly when reddit goes dark next week or shortly after that
appreciate you providing this service β₯οΈ
Hi from beehaw! Welcome to the fediverse and glad to have all of you join us!
It seems a bit laggy to me, but that's hardly surprising. I hope we can form a good little community of outsiders here! π
Can you tell me what's laggy? Only thing I noticed is the 'Post' or 'Reply' that takes too long.
Pretty much everything has a bit of lag on my end. Not complaining, I understand why, just letting you know.
The post thing is weird. Even when I'm on lemmy.world, but post on communities from other instances it seems pretty fast. But posting on a local community is slow. Very weird. Locks on a table somewhere?

Just made a new general Star Wars community! I have no idea how to grow something like that, so any Star Wars fans come on over and help!

That's great. Is this like the main page or what?
Another Reddit refugee here. I guess after June 30th member numbers will explode?
I hope. So far my friends seem hesitant to leave Reddit.
They don't have to leave leave. They can just join here and reduce the time they give reddit. Little by little they can just get out of that and into other stuff.
Ah, give it time. Change is scary. And it is easy to be complacent. But 'luckily' Reddit will chase them to here.
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!
Congrats! Thanks for accepting me. I can't wait to see where this site goes!
Omg nice! Glad to join the ranks!
Congrats!! That's quite a milestone in such a short period :)
Edit: sorry if this is not the proper place to ask but is there a way to donate for server expenses?
Yeehaw!
How can we make it 2000?
I'm doing my part. Just joined. The king is dead. Long live the king!
Finally managed to create an account! Phew⦠Hi Folks
Glad to be here for the party!
We're glad to have you! Here is your champagne π₯
Holy shit. Congratulations I guess? π
Congrats! I like the vibe here
