Nothing important here. I just want to see how many people are moving away from Reddit.
How does everyone from Reddit feel about the lemmy experience?
As of this moment, there are currently:
- 476 subscribers from lemmy.world
- 61 subscribers from kbin.social
- 30 subscribers from lemmy.ml
It’ll take time, and most importantly content, to entice migration.
Content! That’s the key.
As for the platform, i like the inline commenting, but I miss markdown. Also, it keeps the interface in Greek(??). I do have Greek installed as a secondary keyboard layout for all my physics/maths typing, but having a Greek interface (which I have to change everytime from “Browser’s default” to English, is weird.
Still dont 100% understand everything about this site or sites but I have some of the communities I interacted with so I’m pretty happy
The number of communities are a lot smaller for sure. But the ones I need are here; i.e. Iinux gaming, popos, anime, hentai.
I know it’s early days, and this wasn’t exactly something that could be planned for, but have you considered whether this community should be on a separate lemmy instance? What I mean is, it looks like the main motivation to reopen r/pop_os is to keep that content publicly available. But it shows the conflict of having that content on a platform that’s not controlled by the Pop project, or its users, or S76. So far I don’t imagine a conflict with the lemmy.world admin, but can that be guaranteed? Is there (at least planned) functionality for a whole community to move from one lemmy instance to another?
The lemmy.world maintainer has a lot of experience hosting instances for Mastodon, and lemmy.world currently has the best hardware, highest uptime, and now the highest population count compared to other instances.
What other instance would you recommend?
Made an account last night. I feel like a tech-averse senior trying to understand how the fediverse works but I’ll get there lol
no more reddit for me, happy to see this community here.
First post here. I’ve had enough of centralized corporate control of my internet life. I remember life on the internet before greed became the prime motivator of all things. I hope there is a future where we can move past it. I’m feeling positive!
9 year vet reporting in. I was thinking about this last night. - After reading spez’s interviews over the last couple of days, I’m never going back. I was never an active poster, but a very active lurker. If Reddit starts to lose people like me, they might in a bit of trouble. Lemmy scratches an itch that Reddit used to. I’m starting to really like this collection of sites, and as I’ve posted before, the communites (for the most part) have been … nice. With the explosive growth over the last week (I can’t even imagine what the admins went through), there will be growing pains, but the mobile apps will come and the dust will settle. I’m all in on the Fediverse.
It’s like a mass exodus. I read on one instance how their workload jumped twenty times almost overnight. They’ll get it sorted out I’m sure. With more subscribers comes more opportunity for help. Just going to be some lag there.
Hi!
fuck reddit’s CEO and his idol musk
Doing well! I even decided to mod a few local magazines, at least for a while; something I haven’t done in a long time.
I also think we should build a community mascot for kbin! I’m trying to get that going on this post here:
https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/35975/I-m-no-artist-but-I-thought-Kbin-could-use-a#comments11 years on Reddit with the current account and maybe around 2 years before that on my first account. It makes me sad to see what’s happening because I really love the community on the subs I participate in. I’m happy to be here though and to see Lemmy growing.
Oh yeah…and fuck Spez!
Around 7 years on reddit. Transitioning out by month’s end – trying on different spaces/interfaces, checking Reddit only a little in the morning to see where my old subs are going/what they’re doing. I was using the official app until this all went down, then I deleted it and switched to Apollo, so once that’s done I’m fully out.
Only just got here, but liking the vibe so far
Spent a decade on Reddit (using Alien Blue, then Apollo exclusively) but now spending 90% of that time on kbin/fediverse leaning heavily on kbin progressive web app on iPad/iPhone. Doing most what I need it to like Apollo did, and even though it’s an early prototype it’s already way better than the official Reddit iOS app!
I’m here. Really hoping that Christian Selig makes an app though :)
14 years on Reddit. 4 days clean.
I was mostly a lurke there, but Lemmy seems like the best alternative. Hope more people migrate soon!
Hallo!
