Long time no see, Lemmy. I hope Reddit ending is for the best, and I hope all my precious communities migrate to open source software.
but i don't have anything to say
other than fuck spez of course
Always a bad sign when one of the top comments is trying to compel users to engage.
I couldn’t agree more!
In effort to try to add value to posting, I found a mobile app for iPhone. It’s clearly in beta. I’m not associated with them at all, and I hope they don’t mind me posting the results of my Brave search.
You're right, I'll try. I enjoy reading, but often get overwhelmed with trying to respond, so I end up just giving up and not finishing my
After 14 years on reddit I’m tired of watching it die, the death of Apollo is what pushed me over the edge, I loved Apollo. I’ve been browsing in here for the past few days. I like it. Trying to get used to it. Fuck reddit and u/spez all of the situation was trash. Thank you all for recommending this site!! I’m excited to be apart of it!
I try but I rarely post. I did seem to kinda revive the !beeandpuppycat@lemm.ee community so that's dope. I hope people keep posting there.

Honestly, I feel more comfortable participating on Lemmy than I ever did on Reddit or Twitter.
Do we get any benefit from hosting our own Lemmy server? I am a tech nerd and love new IT projects. Sorry if this is off topic, please redirect me someplace else if there is a better thread to ask my question in.
The main benefit is being in total control of your experience on lemmy
If you're on someone else's server, you don't really have any control of federation, and your instance admins could just decide to defederate some instance that you enjoy seeing content from without your say. Similarly you may want to defederate from an instance, but on a public server you'd have to appeal to the admins to do so for the entire server.
Other than that it's mainly a "because it's cool" thing
Ok here's a meme that is unrelated to anything we're discussing but always cracks me up:
test post please don't ignore
Interesting comment here, please upvote
Shush! let me lurk....oh no
I feel personally attacked! I will not tolerate this, and I will do the one thing no lurker would ever think of under normal circumstances!

This is kinda exciting ngl
I really, really hope the open internet takes off again
Much of the meme content is in the form of GIF and as fare as I see, Lemmy does not support uploading GIFs. Will this format be supported in the near future?
You can hyperlink to them, see my Rick and Morty gif a few comments above, i didnt upload that.
Trying my best! I have an account on lemmy.ml but with the increase in traffic I’m barely able to use it! Moving to this one which has already helped. Anyone reading this feel free to send a message and say hi!
hello, fellow human!
If you just quit reddit because they dropped support for same mobile application there is a lot you should learn. Learn what free software is https://www.fsf.org/about/what-is-free-software learn about Aaron Swartz.

I lurk most of the time because most of the time i have nothing to say
Yes, people who are leaving reddit are making Lemmy more active which was the only missing thing to make me delete reddit entirely. Before that it was too slow to get new content but now it is alright, thanx to reddit, long life to lemmy .
