Alright I just created my own server with my own lemmy instance and created my first account. Let's stop lurking and push this number!

I never used Reddit other than the rare view via a search-engine when trying to find something. I now lurk Lemmy daily but barely ever post. I read so many enlightening things here. Not leaving.

I never posted on Reddit, I only commented, because every time I posted anything, someone would come be an asshole about it. Here tho, I've been posting a lot more than I ever did and I don't get abused for it, unless that was my intent.

Fuck Spez, Fuck Musk too. Lemmy's better now than reddit ever was.

We arent losing users....

I said something in the other thread and I'm gonna say something here because I want to do my part to keep lemmy active.

I'm not leaving.

Honestly yeah this is actually great. Most of the reasons I started to hate Reddit was that it went "mainstream". Censorship, political feuds.

I would hear Reddit mentioned in the news. I don't need that for my "community".

Like a return to Bulletin Boards. Hell yeah. Free and open internet babyy

First people complain that there are to many people on lemmy.

Then the number of people decreases

Now people complain about that to

Can we please just stop caring about the numbers and instead focus on making a nice place for ourselves?

I dunno, do we actually care about people who would leave here and go back to Reddit?

People make it look like it's over for Lemmy, but this is only the beginning. Don't worry, Reddit will fuck things up again. The Fediverse will win in the long run. Maybe Lemmy doesn't have the momentum yet that we want it to have. At the same it's grown so much. I mean, not that long ago there were almost only communists on this thing...

well said. it's not about quantity, it's about quality. and spez enshittified Reddit because of greed, we shouldn't be greedy ourselves, or Lemmy will get enshittified too. i would like to slowly make it cozy and happy here, we shouldn't be competing against Reddit, because Lemmy is something different.

any nice user is welcome, please don't make them feel guilty for being on Reddit too. we will slowly make a nice transition so people have the option to being their stuff here if they want, which is what we need. no rupturism, please. i think we should be welcoming, not warmongering. this was made for users, not against spez. it's totally different.

spez can go and screw himself, i prefer to appreciate those who do good than to mourn about those who do wrong. don't waste energies on destructivity, spend them on constructivity.

don't compare to Reddit, compare to Lemmy on July, to Lemmy now, to what Lemmy could be if we work together. don't get anxious about growing. focus on 'growing nice' instead of 'growing more'.

we will make it. for sure. and it will be great.

have a nice day.

edit: i realize the 'not against spez' could have been worded better. what i try to say is that i prefer to focus my energies on nice people than bad people. i suffered already a lot bc of bad people and i prefer to spend my life supporting nice folks. sorry for the confusion.

As soon as reddit links fall out of Google, I won't even have to think about seeing it anymore. I also have it DNSBlocked because that's the only way I am going to stay off of it. X too.

same tbh

Go back with ad block so they loose money on data and power

But don't participate. Don't vote, don't comment. Optionally don't login as well. You get free entertainment and they loose money.

Lemmy is losing users?

please explain what's going on.

All I know as I get to know lemmy using sync I'm a little frustrated because my feed is limited and doesn't let me infinitely scroll and it only updates like once a day which is frustrating because I would scroll forever if I could. But it doesn't let me. It dead ends Then there are simply no posts. I have to come back the next day. perhaps this is built-in on purpose to make sure we don't spend & lose our lives here.

Lemmy is losing users

Lemmy is using losers 😆

Something I used to do on Reddit was find a new community, and binge the top posts from the last year. I've started being able to do that on Lemmy, which is a huge win in my books

anyone who wants to leave can go. Hell, I'm responsible for two of the lost users because when i first came over here I misunderstood how this works and made a new account on each instance. what's up @[email protected] and @[email protected]?

I browse lemmy a lot on mobile. When I first looked into lemmy mobile clients, they were read only.

This post inspired me to get Sync 4 Lemmy, now I'll be commenting much more (careful what you wish for haha as I'm sure I will have opinions some don't agree with, but hopefully can always debate rationally)
