General Discussion

Even given the circumstances of us being brought here (overt, stubborn, and shameless corporate greed), also glad folks are here. My hopes for lemmy is to be the community center of the internet. Let us not merely be lemmings, let us be lemminites.

I think the focus for devs/the community going forward has to be focusing on how easy it is to get on this platform so it can eventually hit a critical mass of users for regular new content/more active discussions.

I’m using the memmy beta, it was really easy making an account on lemmy.world and logging in on memmy with that but the initial search I did made me think getting set up was a much longer process

Started using lemmy during the beginning of the protests. Went back to RIF about a week later. Now back to Lemmy after apps were killed. It's definitely helping to full the hole left by RIF, but it's not quite the same.

Some of my favorite discussion topics on reddit were the comments on subreddits like AITH and MaliciousCompliance, and while they are here, they don't quite feel the same.

Still adjusting, and in a way, grieving the loss of the social media platform I used for over 10 years. But I've also been spending less time scrolling and more time with my other hobbies. So that's a net positive I guess.

Many thanks to my son who told me about Lemmy last night. Reddit tab closed. Lemmy tab open.

Still getting my head around it. Hoping more interesting content comes about and we can put the memes/discussion of Reddit to bed!

And it feels fresh

Using lemmy is part of the never ending quest of recreating the internet interactions of my youth. When real friends were made on message boards. When things felt like a real group of people, and not so hyperfocused on individual topics so as to ignore the people behind the words.

Lemmy feels good so far

The avid and intelligent discussions I see on Lemmy are heartwarming in itself. Ngl, I never really got that with R*****. Lemmy feels like home. Just wish I would've been apart of it earlier than a few weeks ago

Been loving seeing how active this place is getting, I didn't post often on Reddit but this just feels better somewhow, and I feel more inclined to comment on contribute!

I'm just trying to find the snack bar.

Thank you for being here with us!

Except Dave. You know what you did.

I concur still feeling my way around, more mole like than a lemming 😂

Even me? Wow

I was finally able to log in!! My other email address never received the verification email and I couldn't resend it for some reason...

I think Lemmy is really cool, and I'm excited to see where it goes from here!

username checks out! 😎

Remember, you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.

Thou art Lemmy. I am Lemmy. All that groks is Lemmy.

Even Phil?

And thanks to all the people developing! Either Lemmy itself or all the apps to read it.

where is the porn communities?
