Lemmy is booming
I have never before received so many reactions and comments on my Lemmy posts before, so it’s obvious to see, that there are many new members here.
Welcome to all the new! And I’m looking forward to see more of you here.
Cheers!
Maybe I’ll become more active now 🤔
Let’s hope Lemmy becomes a real alternative for reddit. The infrastructure looks good, now we just need the communities.
Exactly my thinking. Very impressive so far, and my only complaint has been finding the communities and the conversations I want to be in. But it will get there! (I hope)
Messaging from the Jerboa app I just downloaded from the play store.
A few nights ago I discovered Lemmy as I needed to find a Reddit alternative fast knowing I will longer be able to use Reddit is Fun.
I’ve been a Redditor for almost 12 years now, I remember when it was a wild community where there was freedom of speech, few bots, it was the best source of memes next to cheezeburger, which was how I discovered Reddit.
I used it nearly everyday, and watched it’s decline, I remember when Elena Pao or whatever the fuck her name bought into the company, since then it’s become snipped more and more to the point I don’t recognize it anymore.
It transformed into some sort of money hungry beast, that is destroying its self from the inside out, trying to get people to use their shitty ad riddled app with a shitty interface.
I am so happy I found you guys, I really want to see Reddit’s blackouts go on indefinitely, infact I just wanna watch it burn. It’s dead to me, the owners suck, it’s just as bad as Facebook and the other main social media platforms now.
Any person I know who uses Reddit, I will point them here.
I hope Lemmy does well whether reddit implodes or not. Great concept!
Its so nice to see decentralized social media becoming more mainstream hopefully everyone will be off the big platforms soon
This site’s like a breath of fresh air, small communities and the excitement of not quite know what you’re doing lol, no muscle memory open close and open again
I did that with reddit at least 3 times a day
Lemmy and the fediverse are such unique and cool concepts. I hope to see Lemmy grow even more in the future!

Really enjoying my time here.
The Reddit exodus has begun! My only regret is not learning about lemmy and the fediverse before things blew up over there.
As one of the emigredditors, hell yeah! Personally though, I’m still testing the waters and making myself more comfortable here; it’s eerily quiet here as compared to reddit, but I hope it’s just a matter of time :)
I’ve been using redfugees but I think emigredditors is better
Man I knew there had to be a more witty word for this. I’d happily trade the word with redfugees XD
I’m done with Reddit once July 1st hits…it’ll be a change but once Lemmy takes off I can totally see it being a great replacement…already feels like home!
even if reddit backtracks, I like it here so much I plan to stay. Just feels so homey despite being here >week
Yeah, I much prefer Lemmy now that I’m actually here. Gives those “web 1.0” / IRC vibes when communities were smaller
reddit refugee here! So far so good except there’s not a native app for lemmy on iOS so I’m using a safari “add to Home Screen” webapp for lemmy.ml , works pretty good!
Try mlem. I think you’ll need to install TestFlight to get it working.
I can’t comment or vote. Is that feature not available yet?
Aren’t you commenting right now?
Not from the app.
Never installed TestFlight but it said I had to opt in or something. Does TestFlight mean beta apps that aren’t approved to be in the AppStore?
Yes. An update was released today for mlem and it seems much more stable to me. It’s a good time to get in and try it out.
Well alright then I’ll give it a shot!
I just joined today and first impression is great. Seems like a lot of nice people ended up under the same ceiling. :)
I like it here so far.
