to any new user, or new lurker, welcome!! the begining is kinda shit, but it was as well when you started on instagram/reddit/tiktok, you just dont remember it. i dont remember my upstart into the fediverse because it has been such a short part of my independent-net journey.

[cevn@lemmy.world]

Welcome to Lemmy!! We are called Lemmings over here! Or whatever you want really. I may have drank too much beer.

[gold_e_lox@lemmy.world]

these stats areee... not the best? fuck i hope we dont fizzle, this better just be the begininng

[blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

No worries, you make a good point.

For your question, this post https://lemmy.world/post/8505771 is probably better (from [email protected] )

[cosmicturtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Lemmy really needs to buy ads on Google. I know....Google is just awful.

But doing a search for "reddit alternatives", the first result is reddit.

I'd be willing to chip in some money to get that going.

You don't see the link I posted?

What is it? Looks like badass something but the Voyager app doesn't scroll it.

[db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

46K active users is nothing to sneeze at. Most old school forums were hella active with just 1K

I remember my start and immediate end on Bluesky. Got banned for saying the white ones were better. I was discussing Eneloop batteries!

[whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world]

Isn’t .world the most populous instance? Hmm…

This is interesting. I get the impression that some admin/mods truly don’t understand how the Fediverse operates. They ban one (or a few) instance name(s), but there are so many more that they might not even recognize as Lemmy links, which get past the radar.

At the same time, there are fears here that .world could become disproportionately powerful compared to other instances, due to its high user count.

So in a way, Reddit blocking traffic to .world while permitting links to other instances can benefit us all. Smaller instances gain users, which is an important step toward balancing things out and keeping any one instance from becoming too powerful. Thanks, Reddit!

(I recognize the irony of having a .world account. I wasn’t aware of its standing in Lemmy when I made it. I am also still learning the Fediverse myself and don’t know how to transfer my account to another instance yet.)

You need to somehow get your url out. Usually if you're just "generalist" people don't see a big reason to register compared to something like lemm.ee. Also new servers have another issue is that one doesn't know if they'll be around long enough. We've lost so many small servers in lemmy when their admins discovered it was more trouble than it was worth.

On Voyager, one is a mailto link hehe.

Socal or social?

Nvm. Completely missed the small "www.reddit.com" under the post. Didn't realise it was clickable. Thanks!

Discuit has less than 200 commenters : https://isto.pt/pages/transparency

Nope nothing about race, the name was just an answer to blackpeopletwitter, which is the same idea. Posting screenshots of funny tweets.

There’s one here on lemmy [email protected]

From what I’ve read the sub got ban after mods took time to delete violent comments about DOGE employees. Their names got leaked, peoples started to say dumb shit, often violent. Musk threw a fit about it and Reddit banned the sub.

Making death threats is obviously a good reason for a ban but apparently the reason Reddit gave (unmoderated sub) was false as there’s screenshots of the post being actively moderated with plenty of deleted messages. But it’s those kind of posts with 18k comments so I guess it was moving too fast for the moderator team.

I might be wrong, I just read about that from the r/france post our refugees came from. I did not explored in detail as it’s on Reddit and I just don’t care ‍️

[blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Makes sense as the app has no way to know if it's an email address or not
