Well, whew! As a result of Reddit's recent spark of genius, the number of users looking for a new home has been growing at quite a brisk pace. In the last 12 hours, over 30 new membership applications were received. This has never happened before in Sopuli's short history. It's a bit like what happened to Mastodon when Twitter had its own spark of genius. I'm surprised and also excited.

Anyway, welcome to new users! Feel free to check out Sopuli and Lemmy in general. If you have any questions, you should first check FAQ if the question has already been answered. A list of communities, both on Sopuli and on other instances, is conveniently displayed in Communities and here. If you are planning to create a new community for a topic, you should check there to see if one has already been created and if the topic is fitting for it.


No huh huh! Redditin viimeaikaisten neronleimauksien seurauksena uutta kotia etsiviä käyttäjiä on tullut varsin reippaalla tahdilla. Viimeisen 12 tunnin aikana tuli yli 30 uutta käyttäjähakemusta. Tällaista ei ole Sopulin lyhyen historian aikana tapahtunut aiemmin. Tämä on vähän sama asia kuin mitä vuorostaan Mastodonille kävi Twitterin neronleimausten takia. Olen yllättynyt ja myös innostunut.

Joka tapauksessa, tervetuloa uusille käyttäjille! Tutustukaa Sopuliin ja Lemmyyn ylipäänsä vapaasti. Jos on kysyttävää, kannattaa ensiksi katsoa UKK:sta, jos kysymykseen on jo vastattu. Listan yhteisöistä sekä Sopulissa että muilla instansseilla näkee kätevästi Yhteisöt-näkymän kautta ja täältä. Mikäli aikoo perustaa uuden yhteisön jollekin aiheelle, kannattaa katsoa, onko sellainen jo perustettu ja sopiiko aihe siihen.

Holy crap! The jerboa update fixed linking!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I guess I should post in here to express my gratitude!

Thank you for running this thing, and more importantly for having us :')

Also, what is it like living in Finland?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Oh thank you!

Also, what is it like living in Finland?

At least it's warm and sunny right now.

Welcome, Tervetuloa!

Signup approval waiting sucks, but we will approve them within 24h!

About Sopuli

Sopuli and other Lemmy servers like beehaw.org offer an alternative to link aggregation social media sites like Reddit (which is no doubt the reason for this influx of new users). All these servers communicate together, so it doesn't actually matter which of them you register at as long as the rules and admins suit you. You can post to beehaw communities from Sopuli and vice versa.

More detailed info will be compiled in the FAQ.

What is Lemmy?

Lemmy is the software that powers the websites.

Why Sopuli/Lemmy instead of the other Reddit alternatives?

With Lemmy, you can choose your administrator or choose to administrate yourself, and still be connected to the same overall network. An inherent benefit for this is that no one corporation, entity or person can own the network and you will not be under the whims of one corporate leadership.

Thank you for allowing me to participate in the greater community from this instance. I'd be interested to help pay for server costs since I know they're not free. The forum is dead, long live the forum!

Kiitos, että sallit minun osallistua suurempaan yhteisöön tästä instanssista. Olisin kiinnostunut auttamaan palvelinkustannuksissa, koska tiedän, että ne eivät ole ilmaisia. Foorumi on kuollut, eläköön foorumi!

Thankyou for taking in so many Reddit refugees.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

8 year reddit user here looking for a new home. Thank you for letting me join.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Hello! Did my part and moved here from Reddit. Interesting to see what the future holds for Reddit.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Thanks for letting me in! Reddit is going down the drain right now...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Thank you for this community! I am a long time redditor and quite sad that it all turned the way it did in Reddit. At the same time I am grateful that there is this community. I am looking forward spending my time here.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

One question for the admin; I see an instance hasn't been federated with sopuli (it's not blocked either), what should be done to be able to subscribe to the unfederated instance communities? I just get community_not_found error when trying to access the community URL via sopuli.xyz. Search doesn't find it either.

Miten me voidaan tukea tätä toimintaa täällä?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Tämä kysymys on ollut ilmassa jo jonkin aikaa, ja vastauksena tein juuri Patreon-tilin tukemista varten.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Onko täällä jotain erityisesti suomeksi jubailevaa paikkaa?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

noniin, kyllähän tämä tästä! ja teinpä [email protected] myös

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Kiitos pääsystä ryhmään ja muut boomerjutut. Tulin vaan testaamaan miten tämä toimii.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Anyone else having issues with the sign up page? A friend of mine is trying to sign up to sopuli but after they enter their details and click ‘sign up’ it just spins endlessly. I’m assuming it’s because a lot of people are trying to sign up now?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

When did this friend of yours try to sign up first?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Last night around 23:00 US Eastern time

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3036 Did your friend have a looong and complex password? This may be the culprit. Otherwise this is really frustrating as the server logs are not saying a t hing.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Haha actually they did. Generated a random one to sign up with. I’ll tell them to try again with a simpler one. Thanks for the help and this is a great community you have here!

Edit: out of curiosity, what is it about the long/complex password that messes it up?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm not a developer, but it has apparently something to do with the database. This same problem has popped up several times, and now I updated the FAQ.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I've seen this, too. Interestingly you may manage to make an account with a long password, but logging in with the password may or may not work.

A very odd bug. Why would there be such a small limit and didn't anyone but users notice? Or maybe it only happens to some users.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

First time on a Lemmy instance, and I though Sopuli looked inviting. I appreciate you taking me, and some of my fellow supporters of the Reddit blackout, in during these dark days. So far, enjoying my time here and learning about Lemmy and federated services! I hope I can learn to do more than lurk.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Thanks for providing this place for people. Im hopping this can become my new front page!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Aattelin vaan tulla sanoo Moro!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Moro.

Käyttäjänimesi on parasta internetissä pitkiin aikoihin.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Se ei ole vielä hirveän paljon, mutta kiitos 😅

Nimi tosin on varastettu. Poimin sen yhdestä 1990-luvun lopulla julkaistusta peliväkivaltaa käsitelleestä artikkelista, jossa noheva toimittaja kertoi Nukemin Herttua -pelin aiheuttamasta kohusta 💪🏾

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Thanks for letting me in. Also wanted to test posting!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Hello world! Thought I'd say hello, and thanks for a great alternative to Reddit. Pleased to see the fedeverse show some promise. Feels like the old internet so far...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Did we just blink the lights?

Thanks for the approval! I'm hoping to overcome my lurking ways and make a contribution in this community.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Very happy to be here.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hey everybody, another Reddit refugee here! Thanks for the welcome.

Tai kuten sun mutsi sanoisi veisbuukis suomeksi: "kIiToS RYyHmÄäN pÄsYStÄ"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

"AV! YV! Jono!"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

YesYes! I guess the finnish way suits me more than the beehive way. I have been on Lemmy for two days, following with much sleeplessness this playground -- it's like children unpacking the big christmas packet, with awe.

If there is anyone here who has a little bit of knowledge about github/coding/layout, to help with some changes to make the sign-up process go more smoothly, please go ahead! Here are some suggestions that were made in the temporary server overload thread yesterday:
https://lemmy.ml/comment/457578
https://lemmy.ml/comment/82311 (a more explanatory subheader is already in the works, hope they see that it apparently needs to be done via the translation tool)
https://lemmy.ml/comment/450975

So, let's hope this doesn't go downhill with the expected influx!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Thank you for approving me! I'm a refugee from reddit is fun.
