A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Most people will go back to reddit in two day. I just hope the whole ordeal seeds Lemmy with enough of a community to grow so one day, it will have feature parity with reddit and an actual community. This probably won't be a Digg like migration, but maybe it's the beginning of a myspace to Facebook like migration.
Digg seems like it went down overnight lol.
Sowing the seeds is what I hope happens. I'm not moderator material, I don't normally post content and I normally prefer to lurk. Yet I'm going out my way to cultivate a successful migration so the real guys who know what they are doing can take over and allow me to once again doom-scroll lol.
I feel called out lmao. I've been more active on fediverse apps in the last week than I was on normal social networks in the last year.
yeah, i am doing my best to actually comment more, and make a few posts. probably more posts in the last couple of days than all of reddit'ing.

Idk I think more people will stick around then won't. But I don't think it will be immediate. It will be a slower migration as Lemmy gets better and better and easier to use and there is less and less of a reason to go back to reddit for anything. I'll only ever go there if I have to for some reason but over time those reasons will become less and less as the communities here grow.
Best thing we can do is add as much content and comments/posts as possible over the next few days!
I'm doing my part.
Same! I'm into camping and found this place https://links.dartboard.social/c/campingandhiking It's small but people are nice and I'll keep contributing :) idk if that link will work im still learning
Yeah only problem is fragmentation of groups (same community name over different instances).
A good solution would be something like multi-reddits, but multi-communities. So a user would create a curated list of communities that are combined into a single feed.
It'll be a pretty big feature and take time to develop, but it'll help a lot.
I left, I dont plan to go back. Joined Lemmy today, spun up an instance last night.
Not those of us who exclusively used the 3rd party apps. Former RiF user here, reddit for 12 years. Not doing it on their app, you couldn't pay me to tolerate that experience. Using Jerboa right now and with a couple tiny improvements, I got no problem switching.
