LETS GO LENNY!!!

I came due to protest, but staying for quality of fediverse users (posting from kbin)

I’m trying to keep up with the fediverse jargon, but what the heck is a MicroWave thread?

Hello from Kbin. It's nice that we can hang out.

I absolutely love it. I can't wait for the fediverse to thrive with lemmy integration for peertube and an imgur alternative

Exactly. In a "this is for the future" way.

I was here too!

Me too, it’s amazing to see how quickly Lemmy is growing now

Welcome to the Fediverse. To acknowledge your arrival, please accept the Lemmy Lemon Basket award.

Went from lurker to user today actually. It wasn't even the apps it was just the awful attitude towards users.

It's not federated yet anyway.

I believe Ruud has stated elsewhere (on Mastodon or whatever it is called) that they won't do anything preemptively, but they're keeping a close eye on what Meta does.

First, it is not just lemmy, it is the fediverse (replying to you from kbin.social - my preferred cup of tea). Second, I see that the mostly good people/posters are leaving Reddit, I do not see, for example, personal attacks when people disagree here in fediverse, I see no removed/moderated comments or posts. I am sure it happens here too, it is just so rare… it reminds me of the days of mass migration from digg. So, at least for now I think this is great, and it separates people who are ready to stand for principles from the rest. Welcome.

Yea so far it's great. I'd imagine once it's easier to access, well see a slow decline in quality discourse and content, but that's all things, so I'm just enjoying the moment tbh.

Sync for reddit show such message, can't waut for it to switch to Lemmy.

Also feel free to support Lemmy itself by donating to the project

Hmm... are you here for boost? That's why I joined Lemmy!

The devs have been working their butts off. They make post with complete transparency about their growing pains. The devs of leemy.world and others get together and troubleshoot as a team, especially lemmy.ml. everything is posted on GitHub. It's awesome to see and support. I've been here for about four weeks now, and it has been fun to watch it grow, and participate in the user community.

Me neither!

The great thing is that there's no competition between lemmy and kbin. We can use whichever we prefer and still have access to all the same communities.

The reposting has gotten to a whole new level, and the amount of content pulled straight from tiktok and twitter has increased. Also started to see some very uncanny subreddits climbing into r/all.

I'm done loading that place all together pretty much.

Not only is Rudd doing and amazing job as admin of the instance, they are also really transparent ab ob it the challenges in their frequent updates!

Maybe not from Lemmy.World but definitely with all the other Lemmy sites in the Fediverse.

Wife and I considering it and we are not movie going people.

FYI: Fediverse = One account let's you comment/vote on other Lemmy sites

A lot of subreddits moved to Lemmy.world so in turn I think a lot of the reddit migration ended up here (myself included). Mastodon.world already had a large user base so it probably just made sense to rely on their new lemmy instance to handle the new users. Other instances like lemmy.ml sort of froze new signups at the time so that also funneled more users this way.

It was the first to throw some real money behind it's server infrastructure. A month ago most Lemmy instances - even the "big" ones ran on $10 a month 2 vCPU VPSs.

There was another influx early in June when the API changes were announced but before the blackouts even happened.

Most instances with public signups started struggling but Lemmy.world launched and Ruud upgraded the server hardware almost daily to keep up.

Other instances even had to pause signups from time to time but world kept working and so gobbled up most signups on those days.

Once it got to be a top 3 instance and then top 2 and then first it became a self sustaining snowball as a lot of people chose the biggest instance by default.

Being general-purpose, having easy sign-up without needing an "application" or manual approval, and having decent reliability/uptime.

What happened with them?
