Brace Yourselves
(lemmy.ml)
We'll be fiiiiine 🥲 starts hyperventilating
Brace yourselves. Porn is coming.
So am I
I saw admin here say 'not on this instance' because it was too difficult to moderate.
I'm looking forward to lemmy becoming my primary time waster 😁
Given there is no algorithmic recipe to hook you, I'd wager Lemmy is far better for everyone's mental well-being. You'll ultimately squander less of your time mindlessly scrolling.
That's what I love about Fedi in general. The algorithms are either fully gone, or are almost entirely working in favor of the users rather than against them.
Funny how even the small wave is enough to take down the city 🤣. I hope Lemmy can grow to be my primary time waster. There'll be downtime and hiccups, but I'm a patient man.
We still need a good mobile app for Lemmy. I tried using the Jebora one, and its scrolling speed is abysmal.
Silver lining, I am looking forward to all the new things getting developed for lemmy and the like when they can't make things for Reddit anymore. Their loss is our gain.
Praying that Infinity for Reddit moved to Lemmy 🙏
So far I'm looking forward to surfing this wave. Sad to see Reddit burn, but at least there are alternatives.
Judging from my experience trying to sign up for a Lemmy instance for the past 2 days, it's going to be hard. Unless I was doing something wrong, I can see a lot of people having difficulty signing up and eventually giving up. kbin was much easier to sign up for.
I can’t wait for Lemmy to be my time waster and news grab all in one ❤️
Hell yeah, just got here and am ready boost some engagement! I already like it here, I forgot that being able to see the amount of down votes used to be a thing
*Looks like I'm the 69th comment here, what a start!
One of the things I love about Lemmy is that I'm literally over here in a different instance. I can willingly see other content but I also have this local group I can be close with. It brings me back to the old Internet with the benefits and reach of the new Internet.
Excellent point. A small community, that can easily interact with the larger community. This is what the internet always should have been.
Also potential loss of old reddit
Forget waves then. Reddit gonna slip into the sea like Atlantis
This seems like as good a thread as any to make my first post in as a Lemmy user. I've been on Reddit since '09, and was on slashdot back in the 90's. I really am hoping that these new, federated services take off. Onboarding still seems like the biggest hurdle.
After onboarding the interface is kind of rough to figure out. Mostly because the mobile web version isn't that great, and jerboa also isn't that great, and they're different enough that switching back and forth gets you confused. With reddit's problems, I imagine we'll see some more client apps and ui improvements show up in the next couple months with the added attention, and that'll be the end of that. Honestly, I thought it'd be rougher. I do wish I got more replies to my comments though, so i'm trying to make a point to post a bit more than I ordinarily would.
The desktop web interface seems pretty similar to old reddit/rif so I haven't had that much difficulty with browsing. The fact that I'll be losing my niche subs is the hardest part of moving entirely to Lemmy though.
Oh no. Our non-centralized website system will get more users. Aaah.
Lemmy doesn't have adult content tho

There's an 'anal' community, but there seems to be no content 😅.

So, is this lemmy? I just signed up for kbin wasn’t sure if this is lemmy and I can use this to reach other instances. Also an Apollo refugee.
Kbin isnt actually lemmy as far as i know, its a different project, but they can interact with each other thanks to the protocol of ActivityPub.
Could someone explain kbin for me? Is it like a different instance the way lemmy.ml or beehaw is? Or is it a different thing altogether?
