Honestly, after spez described this protest as "noise".... I said F- that. And, now I host lemmyonline.com.

Cheers to the movement.

I'll start posting content as soon as the server stops being overloaded ;) My first 3-4 attempts at submitting a post timed out so far. For some reason comments seem to work fine, though.

Did you guys keep your Reddit name to be recognizable or did you make a new one to start over??

There's one thing i need to know before trying to make content here. Does this platform have any showstopping issues? Mastodon has one where you can't view older content from other instances without going to that instance first. On mobile you can't even do that. If there's something like that here then I don't have much reason to go all in yet.

I got a buncha communities setup though I'm still debating on the best way to share em, since obviously don't wanna go all on the self promotion stuff and all, but engagement always helps out.

I think I saw some thread requesting ideas for new communities. I just can't find it again, but it's a great idea.

Less experienced users could just comment what they need and more experienced users could create the communities for the most upvoted ideas and thereby having a userbase from the beginning.
