Lemmy Just Broke the 54k MAU Record Set During the 2023 API Exodus!

Insta-ban!
I love that neither of us made it a point of which side is right

Reddit refugee here. Can I say Luigi?
-
Yeah in a few days I'm going to delete my Reddit account, liking this place so far, you get news and genuine discussion.

For real we need more uplifting subs, my feed is just Musk and Trump diarrhea.

I'll just say, the more I hang around Lemmy, the more I enjoy the genuine conversations. It feels like less snark, less joke replies, and just a generally more community-type feeling. Reminds me of when I first tried Reddit after leaving Digg way back when.
Hopefully, us exiles can leave the Reddit back at Reddit.

be the change you want to see. Post and upvote.

You know it's bad for Reddit when people were even talking about going back to Digg
-
Lemmy is more polished and populated now than before. Hope influx stays and we got all the real people from reddit and bots stay there.

it's possible to migrate your subs on lemmy
it's possible to both migrate your subs and make a redirect on mastodon for followers, but the redirect requires the old server to remain in service.
Gotcha. That sounds like a good solution.

I think this is an artifact of what's oddly the biggest weakness of the fediverse: decentralization.
When I used reddit back pre-api stuff, my front page was 100% niche subs I'd subscribed to, but those niches have trouble le growing here because there's so many instances.
I was super active in the scuba subreddit. Here on Lemmy, there's several scuba groups that tried to form, but none of them stuck because they were all on different instances instead of one central location where everyone could work together to make the community.
As a result, most of us haven't been filtering out 99% of Lemmy because the 1% where we'd be active doesn't exist. It's like joining reddit and having your frontpage be /r/all. It's a shitty experience that g9ves a lot of weight to political posts.

I have a gimmick sublemmy, [email protected]. Post images that may or may not contain horses!

Also helps to not be shit.
Yeah, we also turn a lot of people away by having boring UI and no Algorhythm, but I consider those to be more of a personality filter.

I figured the planned paywalling of content was going to be the last straw for me, but then they gave me a fucking warning for upvoting. I made a Lemmy account the same day. Fuck them.
The paywall shit is still planned for this year afaik so be prepared to see more of Reddit heading this way.
