They could really do with better explanation of the federated servers before people sign up. I did do a little research before I knew which instance to use
Well, that’s why open source is so powerful - everything can (and, in fact, should) be done by community for community
Usually developers aren’t good writers :)
I still hope it will become easier one day to Docker-host a Lemmy instance where other Docker setup and containers are already present and cannot be changed just for Lemmy.
Yeah, I admittedly havent looked into it too much but if it were easy enough I’d set up an instance at the very least to host users.
I just got 500 Internal Server Error
༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ take my
energydonationLoL
thanks god, I’m here from another instance
The amount of people has increased, even within the last few days, a bigger community is always better, but I’d like us to keep the same optimistic and appreciative attitudes we all seem to have at the moment, that would really make it so much better than Reddit
That’s why I’m here Obi Wan meme
Check this out!
Can’t do that on reddit!
or this
There’s always a better meme.
Do we have a /c/prequelmemes? I love me some prequelmemes
I think is just Star Wars, search to find it.
Found it right after commenting
Hello there!
I really don’t understand how people can still use reddit with a clean conscience especially after their treatment to Christian and other 3rd party developers. They’ve made it clear with their words and actions that they don’t give a fuck about their users, so how can a respectful person still choose to stay? It was a lost cause since the beginning, the protests were never going to work. I appreciate the ones who’ve decided to abandon the ship and join us here.
People are desensitized.
Most services or products have some toe dipped in shady shit, so people have been forced to learn to reconcile with participating more or less in a least some unethical bullshit, just to have a normal life.
Want to have a t-shirt? Probably just supported slave labour.
Want to talk to a friend? Probably just sold you digital soul to a megacorp, and at least two foreign powers.
Your so right. All these things are because of capitalism. If we could tear that down we may get a chance to fix things. But as long as it exists the world will keep getting worse.
undefined> But as long as it exists the world will keep getting worse
The hope I have is that one day, with all the wealth this country has amassed through capitalism, the government can redistribute that wealth to improve the quality of life for citizens. Use that wealth to improve health care, affordable education, build a shit load of homes for people, I can go on and on.
It’s not wealth itself, it’s the way it’s used.
I get what you’re saying and I also completely understand why people have become desensitised but there’s nothing more dangerous than an apathetic society.
We can’t end world hunger, but we can atleast feed a poor person. We can’t end child labour, but we can atleast sponsor a child’s education and basic necessities.
Just because we can’t end it all doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try and contribute to make our society a better place in whatever way we can.
I agree, and its one of the reasons I push the people around me to think about how the world works more.
I can’t fix everything, but I’m doing what I can, and I try to get the passive people I can get to, to snap out of it.
You said you couldn’t understand these people, but it’s possible. And doing so, is step one of getting through to them.
Absolutely true, when i saw that there are even people defending Reddit i just had to get rid of it.
I want to distance myself from this shit or my blood will boil over.
Cheers to a new home with people doing something against these megacorp practices these days.
“But companies must make profits! It’s what they are for!”
It’s disgusting. As if corporations technically being soulless, justifies them behaving in the exact way that implies they would, and do.
Check this out:
You do
to do that.
undefined> so how can a respectful person still choose to stay?
You have to keep in mind that most, maybe majority of people, are just consumers. They don’t care about the background stuff going on as long as they can access their favorite source of content. You can say the same thing about Twitter. People won’t care until it directly affects them.
I left Reddit weeks ago. Not looking back.
I do sometimes look back, kind of, but more like watching a train wreck with popcorn than anything
Just got approved this morning. Glad to be here
Welcome to Lemmy! Have an updoot.
Already here
Yup that’s why I’m here lol
Whoa, joined 3 minutes ago. Welcome to lemmy!
Tbh I just hope that reddit will fail after 1st of july just so they would finally understand that the community is everything.
It won’t die in a straight line, but this is an inflection point that can help this or another platform mature to the point that it becomes an easier move for the next wave of dissidents.
Sync for Reddit just went offline so here I am.
RIF has also now fallen
same bro, even anon browsing got shutdown lol
Joined today :)
If we keep informing people about them.
wefwef.app is the best rn imo; starting to feel like Apollo already.
I say people should keep pushing Lemmy apps in reddit until at least a week after Sync for Lemmy is out in a few weeks
I cant get wefwef to work it keeps saying “problem fetching posts”
Go to inbox, then inbox(all). Select your instance and then your login credentials.
A lot of people have already left
RedditFuggit and moved to Fedi as we have seen over the past couple of weeks.And those who are still sitting there, they are either in a dilemma and unable to make up their minds, or they live under a seriously big rock and have no idea what’s going on with this API saga, and the Third Party Apps stopping to work on July 1 will be a nasty surprise for them.
In short, it’s unlikely that they will overcome the surprise/dilemma in just a day and jump over to Lemmy immediately.
The Fuggit --> Lemmy migration will continue as it is today, but I don’t think there will be a catastrophic spike on July 1.
And many will just move to oficial app
I think the apps no longer working will be the impetus for many to actually search up options. They almost certainly know about the API saga, but not necessarily about Lemmy or the fediverse. Until now, many likely held onto hope that this shit would turn around, and they won’t have been considering a plan B.
I have to agree with this. It’d be nice to get another spike like we had last time, but I really doubt it. Sure, people may still come after the 30th, but not like the previous spike we had before.
There may not be as much of a user spike, but I would think there will be a content spike. How much Reddit content is posted using 3rd party apps, and how many of those content creators are going to swap to the official app vs utilizing alternatives such as Lemmy for future postings?
I hope so. More good content would be nice. Still wishing some of the smaller subs I was in reddit migrates to lemmy. And fair point about the TPA users, although I can imagine many of them already moved to lemmy previously.
There is totally content that I miss being over here but it’s very much niche small communities that just don’t have a real motivation to move or individual content curators that do it for fun and aren’t being impacted by the changes.
Was browsing Sync For Reddit a few minutes ago when it finally shut down. Just got the following notification:
Sync For Reddit has shutdown Thank you for using Sync. It’s been one hell of a ride.
Man am I pissed, but I’m happy to be here now.
I’m in the same boat
We’re gonna need a bigger boat.
On the bright side, he’s making sync for lemmy now
If you didn’t already know
You got that right. Transplant in the house.
There were 5500 users 4 day’s ago.
