Fediverse

Holy shit. Welcome Lemurs.

I just joined lemmy and this is the first social media service where I could grab my short username instead of a longer one no one uses I'm very glad

I joined in the last few days. Seems like this site has much better content. Less bots and reposts. Plus, the user base seems a lot more intelligent in general at this point.

@MicroWave the fact that there are almost a million people that are users on lemmy shows that there are a million more on the fediverse as a whole. i am very glad lemmy federated on activitypub. so i can use mastodon to communicate to lemmy communities.

I joined like 10 sec before

Love to see it.

I think it's possible to belong to more than one form of social media, it isn't an either/or situation. Also it's way too early to project how any of this is going to end, it reminds me of the early days of the internet in miniature as people scrambled around trying new things. I say throw everything at the wall and lets see what sticks and if beehaw makes people happy and gives people that don't feel safe other places somewhere that they can be online I think it's great. Not everything is for everyone and that's OK, if we all liked the same thing vanilla would be the only ice cream flavor.

First post on Lemmy! Ummm, what is sync?

Lemmy will be like what LibreOffice was to OpenOffice. I can feel it.

I kind to want to jump to a smaller instance

I'm really not sure these are spam bots. I suspect it's actually mostly people playing with the exploit that was recently posted on their personal instance. Definitely still bots though.

The good news is that bots seem to be joining particular instances made for them. This will make preventing them from ruining the fediverse easy, just defederate from instances like k6qw.

If they start joining instances such as this one, then that is its own issue, but each instance can solve it to their own needs. I'm not too worried about bots on Lemmy at all really.

Wheres the Dark mode at?

HOLD DIAMOND HANDS

Hi there!

Having trouble replying directly to your comment, but yeah, agreed with your points. I’m posting mostly for record keeping. The lemmy instance with the most accounts seems to be a bot farm with no activity (yet) whatsoever. Ridiculous.
