Cheers! Here's hoping for a bright future!
Just migrated from reddit, and I’m really excited to see Lemmy gain popularity and grow! This is about to be my next addiction.
Thank you. Just killed my Reddit alter ego so let's vsee what this will bring us. Glad to be here.
First comment on Lemmy. Is there a ELI5 for Lemmy to help get us started? I'm using the Connect Lemmy app!
Best I can say is that you have your local server, which is the server you originally signed up in. You then have all the rest of the connected (federated) servers that can see what you say.
Each server is its own mini-lemmy, so it is broken down into communities just like subreddits. Each has its own server administrators and each community has its own moderators.
Regarding content delivery, it seems to be about the same process: a link, image, video, or text from a certain community. The responses are similarly threaded with buttons for interaction.
The largest differences I have seen are that each server instance can have duplicate communities. Different servers have different tolerances for communities. In extreme cases, whole servers can be blocked (defederated) from your server. This is usually due to unwanted behavior from the users that is not curbed by the moderators or extreme communities that cause hardship for other users.
This is what I got after about a week of lurking. If I'm not correct, please let me know.
What's to stop a single Lemmy instance from going "this is taking too much time and money to run, I'm shutting this server down"? I guess that can apply to any service, but monetization sometimes prevents that from happening. But in this case it's all volunteer work and running a server takes resources.
What happens to all the users created under that Lemmy instance?

We're all refugees here
What Apps are people using? Wefwef?
Running Connect for Lemmy here on Android. It seems nice and minimalist. I was a little dissuaded from trying Jerboa with some of the negative reviews.

It's nice to be wanted.
Moved from Digg to Reddit 14 years ago. Happy to do the move again.
Me too! I was on reddit for about 15 years, passed through some stories there. I hope we have a lot of cool safes to open here. At the end, We should´ve come before. This is the model of internet we should encourage, but reddit was too confortable for anything else. Now is the time! The funny thing is that I neve spent money on reddit, but I already signed up for donations here.
Hello everyone! Thank you to everyone working to keep servers running during this influx of signups and all the helpful posts I'm seeing around explaining instances and generally how to Lemmy.
Thanks for the warm welcome : )
Still trying to figure this Lemmy thing out. I have an account with Lemmy.World, but I can still post/view other instances if they are shared? Anyways now that RiF is gone, guess I'm done with Reddit. Glad to be here!

Uninstalled the Sync app today.(RIP) Should be fun getting to know Lemmy.
I'm using connect for lemmy temporarily until LJ is able to work his magic. It has a similar sync vibe so far.
Cheers. I might check it out.
Wandering around, RiFless, looking for something to do on the internet.

Happy to try it though I haven't found a cell app I much like yet.
I think the biggest challenge is going to be transplanting the knowledge. There are so many tutorials and walkthroughs that are on reddit.
It's why what was working best was the Mods making everything private.
Wefwef is working well for me on iPad. I was used to using Apollo to browse reddit, so this has been a godsend. I’m starting to feel more comfortable with using Lemmy a bit more as I’m figuring out what is going on! I hope that the youthfulness of lemmy (to me anyway) is a nice filter from the overwhelmingness of reddit… the downside is that it feels very niche so far, but as adoption becomes more apparent, it will be a budding new “front page” for me.
But if you’re an apollo user, I’d suggest maybe looking at wefwef, and use that to interact with lemmy.

As my first post here, I feel welcomed with the highest geek honor!
a new reddit refugees sounds like dream.
First post here!
As a former Apollo user, I’m super impressed by wefwef. Does anyone know what’s in store for its development? I’d love to see a native iOS app.

I love how massive this community is getting
First comment on Lemmy... Been a lurker on Reddit for years who's recently become more active... Looking forward to contributing more on Lemmy! Network errors galore right now, but that's a good thing right? Everybody coming over from Reddit in droves, I would imagine... Let's f'in goooooo!
Edit: this comment gave me all sorts of problems while attempting to post, sorry for the duplicate versions... but I imagine this will calm down soon and all will be right as rain in no time 👍
