MODERATORS
You can thank reddit CEO lol, he just held the most pathetic AMA I've seen, people are even angrier than before :D
p.s. also watch out for next Monday, that's when the reddit blackout begins
Are you personally paying the server costs? How can we help subsidize?
Ah. There's a donation link on the front page. Just set up a recurring donation.
I would totally donate for running costs.
At this point you will be probably the biggest instance before the start of the new week π

aiii whoooo!
My first comment, can't wait to use Lemmy for the next 15 years.
Fuck /u/spez!
Ah, you must also have been part of the original Digg exodus then?
Yes but I actually liked Kevin, I enjoyed all the side video podcast and skits they did on the side.

Over 2k5 already. Stats page says 2.52k
Yup, that's how fast it goes!
I can Digg this place
Hello fellow Digg refugee.
Is this where the cool kids are hanging these days? (Just joined as a refugee from that other place)
No just the grumpy old people. π
Dammit! Why does everywhere I go turn out to be where the grumpy old people hang out?
Oh...

Hello fellow reddit refugees. Very interested in learning Lemmy and figuring out how contribute to the community.
Good evening! All new to me too! Looking forward to figuring things out for a new start!
Hi from beehaw! Welcome to the fediverse and glad to have all of you join us!
appreciate you providing this service β₯οΈ
That's great. Is this like the main page or what?
Another Reddit refugee here. I guess after June 30th member numbers will explode?
I hope. So far my friends seem hesitant to leave Reddit.
They don't have to leave leave. They can just join here and reduce the time they give reddit. Little by little they can just get out of that and into other stuff.
Ah, give it time. Change is scary. And it is easy to be complacent. But 'luckily' Reddit will chase them to here.
I think the biggest impediment (besides the learning curve of the new format) is the fact that there are many more users and much more activity on Reddit. It will take time to build enough of a user base on lemmy to convince people to join.
That being said, the subreddit blackout starting June 12th will remove that advantage for Reddit. Even if most of the subreddits only participate for 48 hours, that might be sufficient to drive enough people to lemmy that it becomes perceived as a viable alternative.
Fingers crossed!
Wasn't it at like 200 just 2-3 days ago? That's a massive increase!
Yeah the server was just installed June 1st. Growth is crazy.
(But I've seen crazier with mastodon.world, which had 4000 new users per hour at the peak..
There is still time to see that sort of growth on here, particularly when reddit goes dark next week or shortly after that
Omg nice! Glad to join the ranks!
Just made a new general Star Wars community! I have no idea how to grow something like that, so any Star Wars fans come on over and help!
You should link it
Yeehaw!
How can we make it 2000?
I'm doing my part. Just joined. The king is dead. Long live the king!
Holy shit. Congratulations I guess? π
You're doing great bud! If you need help LMK!
newest user of lemmy.world here!
I'm the new kid on the block, hello old timer!
It seems a bit laggy to me, but that's hardly surprising. I hope we can form a good little community of outsiders here! π
