There's a clear up tick on daily users growing and we've crossed the 50k line as of yesterday! LETSSS GOOO!

Aye People, recommend me some funny communities!
[email protected] is one of my favourites so far
-
Ah thanks for the heads up. As I mentioned I'm new to lemmy & still figuring stuff out. Definitely worried about the censorship that the right wing loves so much.
In that particular case I believe it's left wing - echo chambers can function on both sides.

Beware the fake communism, “tankie” triad of hexbear.net (or wherever they moved to, after they forgot to renew their own domain name)
they managed to keep the domain in the end, I think they transferred to a different DNS landlord
Also it's not fake communism, it's pretty normal for anyone outside of terminally online circles, like I'm active in anarchist organizing and I've had plenty of comrades who would get called a tankie by you lot like it's some thoughtcrime
they managed to keep the domain in the end
Thank you.

I just hope this place doesn't become another reddit, it's already becoming one because of all you redditors moving here with your redditry.
it's been one for at least a year. redditors are the fucking worst

Happy to be here! I'm looking forward to my new home in Lemmy!

I'm one of the new users. Hi. Reddit suspended my account after I posted my indie game. No reply to my appeals for 3+ months. Gonna give Lemmy a try now
Welcome!

Without a critical mass of people, niche communities tend to have very few posts and comments. I wish there were more general communities like the early days of reddit instead of going straight into hundreds of dead communities.
I love the critical mass metaphor for Lemmy. Posts and comments are the neutrons that knock free other posts and comments after reaching other people. If we spread out our fissile material into hundreds of tiny pails, then the neutrons just fly away into the air without having any effect.

That's a very reddit thing to say

This graph doesn't make sense to me. The drops on the two graphs shouldn't line up, right? Make me sus

Welcome happy you're here! We've got memes on deck at [email protected] and if you're a programmer of some kinds we got [email protected] to scratch that itch and be sure to drop a shit(post) off at [email protected] or if you want SCIENCE and memes head over to the wonderful [email protected] or if you just want regular SCIENCE mander.xyz is full of sciency comms like [email protected] and [email protected]. [email protected] is also nice this time of year, but you'll have to post before you can leave.
We're not without our cons though, biggest problem we have are probably the Tankies (Authoritarian "communists" who will overlook any wrong doings of China, Russia, NK because they think their governments are the "gold standard"), but here they're mostly on the Tankie Triad lemmy.ml, lemmygrad and hexbear. You have a Reddit.org account so iirc you only need to worry about .ml, but on Lemmy you can do a personal instance wide block if you'd rather just not deal with them. If you want to see what they get up to from a safe distance check [email protected]

That's when hexbear.net (part of the tankie triad) went offline because their domain expired and the domain admin was MIA. Unfortunately, they were able to reclaim it, so the graph should correct back when they start federating again

That's pretty rude TBH, judging a user just because of what site they came from is not cool, judge them for their actions and words when they get here. Not their former site

Lemmy is the only federated service I actually enjoy using. Just missing being able to block an entire @something instead of having to block every single community of it
and no I do not want to "choose another host that does block it", it should be a user choice.

You mean an instance block? You can do that, but it's more of an instance "mute"
But I hear Piefed has real proper blocking of instances

Still counts as "engagement":-)
Poison pill enagement and to steal content. Also trying to protect others from misinformation as some of the subs I have, in theory, could be weaponised by monied interests.
We do what we can. -

But they were still users who were active in that half-year, so even when they went offline it shouldn't have resulted in a dip
