Who wants a short instance name

Welcome! How are you liking Lemmy so far?

2025 the year of lemmy

The entire point of c/piracy is sharing freedom. Why would you not talk to people about Linux? (plus the torrenting tools are just so much more efficient there...)

[povoq@slrpnk.net]

The typical ratio is 1:9:90, meaning only 10% are actively posting or commenting. The Lemmy numbers fit to that surprisingly well, although you would think a few more lurkers would at least vote sometimes (which Lemmy reports as active in the monthly stats).

Lol for real?

The main thing I heard about Bluesky is that it costs like $100 mill to run your own instance or something like that, so they only have one main instance for now. They technically have federation, but for all intents and purpose, it's just another centralized corporate service waiting to be enshittified.

But now I can add this to my list of reasons why Bluesky is a trap.

Edited! Haha I ruined it, the social is the whole point ‍️

One of the more commonly recommended reddit alternatives aside from Lemmy. Goes to show how far ahead we are of any other alternative, they all have virtually no activity. I'm pretty sure that no other reddit alternatives have more than 1k monthly users, so us getting up near 50k is pretty damn impressive in that context.

Also note that we bottomed out around 37k in October 2024, so we have seen pretty significant growth since then, and it seems to be accelerating.

It’s a joke on how off putting the computer nerds can be here to normies.

No, I said, "I like the slacks you're wearing." They would go nicely with a red hat.
