Context: Reddit made a few controversial annoucements, feel free to have a look at [email protected]
For people wanting to discuss why some people focus on Lemmy's growth, here is a recent thread from [email protected] :
I like Lemmy's culture better. It isn't perfect, and maybe someday I'll create my own instance. And I can do that.
There's a bit of an echo in some places.
That's just human s though. The only way to fix that is force everyone and everything onto All.
It feels more condusive.
Came here after the API bullshit. Takes a little getting used to but it scratches that same itch
I got banned from reddit for criticizing the mods of a popular subreddit. Perm-ban on a white vest account for saying the mods are crybabies as they once again complained about having to mod the sub.
Fuck reddit. Fuck spez.
I agree. I came here for two reasons:
Though I still do crave the niche communities from Reddit and I might occassionally visit Reddit once in a while on my browser for them, otherwise the ads are pretty unbearable for me. The UI is also so fucking bloated. Fuck spez
Fuckers banned me too
Welcome!
Reddit mods seem to be something else lately
I pretty much got permabanned for ban evasion, even though I was on an alt that has no reference to the others other than being on the same IP, my other accounts got banned simultaneously.
I’m now here due to the Reddit news. I’m still browsing both, but I look forward to changing over.
Welcome. Please comment and post as much as you can. The more content Lemmy has the more people will engage and create more content
I like lemmy, people can actually see comments too, theyre not drowned out
My oldest Reddit account was close to 15 years old and I haven't logged into any of them for almost 2 years. All the same content and none of the Reddit BS.
Welcome! I have noticed the last week or two that there has been a real influx of activity, and it's now basically the same experience for larger subreddits/lemmy communities. All we need is some niche community and better cross/instance community combining and we're golden. Enjoy!
Welcome! Feel free if you have questions
What's the state capital of Idaho?

We've definitely noticed an increase in signups at lemmy.ca when that news was announced. Not all active users yet, but a lot of signups
I'm new here coming from Reddit.
Yalls subreddit needs links to here. And a short guide on getting started.
I had to scroll a bunch of comments to find the right name to Google. Then I had to find the most popular app to use. It was a bit of a hassle. Not too bad. But enough to be off-putting to newbies.
I'm new here coming from Reddit.
Welcome! How are you finding it so far?
Yalls subreddit
Which one?
Please tell your friends to join LemmyWorld (biggest instance) and install the app Voyager (cross platform support) to get started on the platform!
tell your friends to join LemmyWorld
Is there a reason you recommend LemmyWorld? It's not great to funnel everyone onto the largest instance. I usually recommend lemm.ee.
The benefit is also it's curse. It's all open, so there can be a bunch of names and a bunch of apps. Nobody agrees what the best app is.
But once you get your own ecosystem set up, it is amazing.
Which is a huge hurdle for new people 😬
I have two apps, Voyager and Connect, one for me on my instance, one on lemmy.world. They show wildly different things 😊
I loved connect, but the constant restarting and losing your spot drove me to Boost. Its basically exactly the same (minus a 2$ no ad fee) an it never loses my spot! Connect handled markdown considerably better though. Has the app crashing issue been fixed?
Welcome!
I usually link to
As the other comment said, linking to a specific app isn't that easy, choosing between former Reddit clients like Sync and Boost for instance is already tough, and then you include Lemmy exclusive apps like Jerboa, Voyager, Thunder, etc.
Feel free if you have any question
It's the filter 😁, glad you made it, welcome!
As a new user it's nice seeing so many new users in this thread.
every time spez opens his mouth a bunch of people go "hmm let me see if there's something else"
I’m here after the reddit news. Was a little confusing at first.
By the way, what are “subreddits” called on lemmy? I can see they start with “c/“ instead of “r/“.
Welcome! Do you have any questions?
Probably due to Reddit fuckary. Between power-hungry, ban-happy mods and Reddit talking about possibly charging for select subs, I definitely bailed and came here.
Two days old today, baaabbby!!
Doing my part tho! I've created 5 communities and have posted over 100 times in the last two days. :)
Welcome to the upgrade!
We need more work horses like you 💙
Welcome!
I'm doing my part.
