Omg I’ve never tried this
Edit - appreciate the extra info. I had been wondering if voting affected hot or if it was just comments
[email protected] has been pretty busy today, thousands of comments in the last 24 hours.
I have had a few good chats there. This is a great suggestion. I’m subscribed
I'm thinking that has to do with the volume of users. Lemmy is still a fraction of the user base, but it's growing. What do you think?
Yup. I think we'll just have to a) wait until other people arrive and b) stop pushing subjects such as "how much do you hate Reddit", "Reddit have big problems now because....", "Spaz is an a-hole"
Either Lemmy is a sustainable ecosystem (posts causing discussion which then causes more posts) or Lemmy exists only until Reddit is good again.
I'm here because I believe that Lemmy is big enough to stand on its own feet.
That’s the obvious answer, but I think how others have said the early crowd is techy here, so maybe a lot of introverts until the crowd diversifies?? Just a guess, but I really try to discuss stuff but get a lot of meh responses
Well, early adopters of tech are always the techies, sure you know that. Lemmy has already come a alont way in usability since I started in mid June. As mobile.apps.progress rapidly and the backend stabilizes and adds features, I think it will only grow. I have seen some great discussions on here, without the vitrol you got on Reddit when. You were wrong. I had one yesterday or the day before when it was pointed out to my I had a misunderstanding of a political theory. It was actually a pleasant experience.
Keep up the casuals, and help this thing grow.

Well, for light conversation...
My buddy got married today. I've known him since high school -- we've both been married and divorced since then, but we still hang out occasionally.
They had a dry wedding at his (now their) church, which was apparently where they had their second date. They're both super religious, so they match pretty well on that front, at least.
Congratulations to your buddy! I went to a dry wedding at a church once. The groom panicked and sent me out for liquor with the best man, so there we were in a church bathroom, 4 guys in their 30s, doing shots with a lookout at the door.
I sincerely wish them a lifetime of happiness
Yeah, I hope so. He's had a rough time of it lately, so it's nice to see things looking up for him.
Thanks for the well-wishes :D
My wife did see some people tailgating in the parking lot beforehand, ha! I haven't really been to any dry weddings that I recall (maybe when I was a kid?). I chuckled at the image of 30-somethings taking shots like teens sneaking off at school -- also unexpected!
It's pretty quiet over on ! benignexistence since there aren't too many users following it at the moment, but it's a good place for light, chilled out conversations when people pick up on a post.
