It's all good I'm still mostly getting 1 upvote, similar to reddit
You're doing your best and that's OK!
Why was Obama crying?
He was moved by the speech Obama gave for him.
Oh wow, of course, duh. It was so obviously obvious.
It's seems that my audience was also mostly just one person... That person is dedicated though.
That calls for a c/suicidebywords :D
Seeings subreddits namedropped makes me teary-eyed 🥺
~~(I know Reddit is still technically alive, but it’s dead to me now)~~
Now you got 68 since the community here is awesome. :)
My account here is 4 years old. I was so excited to learn about Lemmy back then, but the user base was painfully low. I'm getting that same excitement I had back then.
Please new people, make this your permanent home and forget Reddit!
Forgeddit
I'm grateful to see open source softwares blow up online
Yes, I'm very proud of the Reddit community for several times over the years mass-recommending open source and federated options.

I miss the old lemmy from a week ago when i signed up haha, feels like it blew up so much.
Yeah, Lemmy has changed alot already for us "old timers" :)
What do you mean? Lemmy started last week right? /s
Lemmy! THE HOT NEW REDDIT SENSATION CREEPING THE NATION!
REDDIT WHO!?
EXACTLY!
LEMMY'S GOT TECHIES, IT'S GOT TREKKIES, IT'S GOT MASTODON INTEGRATION AND ISN'T OWNED BY A CORPORATE ENTITY, OR ANY GOVERNMENT! RADICAL!
This is the redditest comment on Lemmy i've ever read
scrap the current https://join-lemmy.org/ we need a screenshot of this comment up there and nothing else NOW
Let's get this to 500!
I think we reached 500 already. To 1000!
Yeah, just passed 600...
"I'm doing my part!" is probably the most used meme on Lemmy
I feel nostalgic in advance for having stumbled on an inside joke that I was almost around early enough to be on the inside of but can nevertheless clearly project myself there.
My first comment was the most upvoted comment on a subreddit. I got 19 upvoted.
People are just much more supportive and friendlier here. But I guess because we are in a state now before all the assholes join from reddit...
I joined a year ago and it's crazy, i remember getting excited over 20 upvotes, that AMA and the whole 3rd party fiasco really brought a lot of people here!
y'all better keep that at 20
I'm doing my part
The Earth Federation thanks you!
I remember before federation was an implemented feature and there were like 5 instances that couldn't talk with each other. I feel old now.
I remember reddit before even subs when it was just a single page for tech news :(
I still can’t get my iOS app to let me comment
Oh shit it actually worked, upvotes for all. Sorry for shitting on you mLem!
Wait is there a specific Lemmy person? Because I initially though that this site was some Motorhead fan page that evolved into a reddit alternative lol lol. Im so old.
Nah its named after Lemmy, but not a fan page haha
From their Github:
Why's it called Lemmy?
- Lead singer from Motörhead.
- The old school video game.
- The Koopa from Super Mario.
- The furry rodents.
Holy shit, you’re famous
Hey it's that guy who got 20 upvotes!
Go Lemmy!
Hopefully this will increase next week!
Ok boomer
Where do you track your upvotes? O use jerboa BTW
There's no karma total, lemmy only tracks you individual post/comment vote counts. Break free of the shackles of Karma Addiction!
Top right of comment next to comment age. Besides that, Lemmy does not calculate total karma
I rather like how total karma isn't tracked. I wonder how other people feel though?
It is a good thing, objectively. But at least on Mlem there is kind of an equivalent of the karma in the profile page (comment score and post score), if you miss that. 😎
Some may interact less though if there is no karma; gamification works after all. I guess we’ll see.
It's perfect and I wish Reddit did it ages ago. It's the same as Forums with account levels, it makes you think someone has more input than they actually do, and it opens up the system to people selling accounts or botting accounts to later sell (which is a rampant problem on reddit and there's now anti-bot bots).
