What's to stop a single Lemmy instance from going "this is taking too much time and money to run, I'm shutting this server down"? I guess that can apply to any service, but monetization sometimes prevents that from happening. But in this case it's all volunteer work and running a server takes resources.
What happens to all the users created under that Lemmy instance?

Good news everyone!
First comment on Lemmy. Is there a ELI5 for Lemmy to help get us started? I'm using the Connect Lemmy app!

We're all refugees here
Thanks! 11yr RiF user here and using Jerboa now, it's different but similar feeling:)
Here from RiF! First post on Lemmy, here's to a bright future ^^
Glad to be living reddit behind. RIP.
Happy to try it though I haven't found a cell app I much like yet.
I think the biggest challenge is going to be transplanting the knowledge. There are so many tutorials and walkthroughs that are on reddit.
It's why what was working best was the Mods making everything private.
Wefwef is working well for me on iPad. I was used to using Apollo to browse reddit, so this has been a godsend. I’m starting to feel more comfortable with using Lemmy a bit more as I’m figuring out what is going on! I hope that the youthfulness of lemmy (to me anyway) is a nice filter from the overwhelmingness of reddit… the downside is that it feels very niche so far, but as adoption becomes more apparent, it will be a budding new “front page” for me.
But if you’re an apollo user, I’d suggest maybe looking at wefwef, and use that to interact with lemmy.

Hello everyone! Thank you to everyone working to keep servers running during this influx of signups and all the helpful posts I'm seeing around explaining instances and generally how to Lemmy.
a new reddit refugees sounds like dream.
Uninstalled the Sync app today.(RIP) Should be fun getting to know Lemmy.
I'm using connect for lemmy temporarily until LJ is able to work his magic. It has a similar sync vibe so far.
Cheers. I might check it out.

First post here!
As a former Apollo user, I’m super impressed by wefwef. Does anyone know what’s in store for its development? I’d love to see a native iOS app.

What Apps are people using? Wefwef?
Wefwef
Running Connect for Lemmy here on Android. It seems nice and minimalist. I was a little dissuaded from trying Jerboa with some of the negative reviews.

First post on Lemmy! So long Reddit, looking forward to Sync for Lemmy to be developed. By the way, where's the bathroom?
The bathroom is down the hallway, to the right. Look for Lemmy the lemming. Then follow him the rest of the way.

As my first post here, I feel welcomed with the highest geek honor!
Still trying to figure this Lemmy thing out. I have an account with Lemmy.World, but I can still post/view other instances if they are shared? Anyways now that RiF is gone, guess I'm done with Reddit. Glad to be here!

Time for me to leave reddit and join the fediverse
No more centralised social media. I really hope more of us make the switch. Lemmy feels like it could become a really special place.
Moved from Digg to Reddit 14 years ago. Happy to do the move again.
Me too! I was on reddit for about 15 years, passed through some stories there. I hope we have a lot of cool safes to open here. At the end, We should´ve come before. This is the model of internet we should encourage, but reddit was too confortable for anything else. Now is the time! The funny thing is that I neve spent money on reddit, but I already signed up for donations here.
Another refugee here. I hope i post more here than i did there

My first comment on Lemmy!
Thanks for the warm welcome : )
Hellloooooooo... I like grilled cheese
Damn over 3k upvotes..activity is going up!. Let's get this train going! Welcome! :)
Hi, all! This is my first comment on Lemmy. I’m exited to be here!
It’s sad watching Reddit go the way of the dodo, but I’m happy to see everyone come together to give the big ole fuck you to u/spez in solidarity and migrate over when they effectively broke Apollo and the other 3pd apps
