Only https://discuss.online for this guy!
@masonjars Lemmy world has most of the #lemmy user base. People should spread out more. There are tons of smaller stable instances that can handle your traffic. It's all federated so you won't miss out being on one instance and not the other!

I've already come to terms with not using #reddit anymore. But now that #Apollo is officially down... I say my final farewell.
I'm happy to now be part of the #Fediverse. I'm an instance owner while also working to contribute to the community. This is the future. No longer can one poor company decision change the careers and lives of others.
Join me in the fediverse on https://discuss.online!
I’m doing an AMA on my Lemmy instance. There has been some #reddit folks migrating to a new place to call their community. I’d love to answer any questions people have about the fediverse, how it is to run a server, or anything else.
AMA: I’m jgrim, the site admin - Discuss Online
A lot of you are new to Lemmy and the fediverse. You might have some questions about it, about me, or about discuss.online and it’s sister site utter.online [https://utter.online]. Ask me anything. I’ll be watching this thread all day today: June 30th, 2023.
I'd love to welcome the community r/nerf or should I say c/nerf to my Lemmy instance and into the fediverse! https://discuss.online/c/nerf.
They decided to permanently close their Subreddit and move to a Lemmy instance. I welcome them!
Their new community address: https://discuss.online/c/nerf
You can view their announcement here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Nerf/comments/14lsrug/reddit_protest_epiv_a_new_hope/

Nerf - Discuss Online
Welcome, Nerfers! This is a place for Nerf, Modifications, Homemades, Assassins, Office wars, Humans vs. Zombies, BoomCo, Off-brands, Water Blasters . . . We’re intended to be like /r/nerf except not dependent on reddit. [https://wiki.discuss.online/view/Where_we_came_from] ::: spoiler Are you new to Lemmy? Please click here to expand. Lemmy is a lot like reddit. For most purposes you can treat it as if it is reddit. The main difference is that when you view your front page or search for other communities, you have a choice between “subscribed” (what you’ve already joined), “local” (a small subset of communities) and “all” (every community that this server knows about). discuss.online is one of many Lemmy servers and many of the communities that you see here originate on other servers - but this networking is handled behind the scenes. This decentralization makes Lemmy resilient but you can still use it just like reddit. A longer explanation can be found here. [https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/01-getting-started.html] ::: ___ # Rules ::: spoiler We have some idiosyncratic rules. Please click to expand and take a minute to read them before posting. * Don’t spam (post excessively) or excessively self-promote. That means at most 1 post per day, and less than 1/10ths of your posts and comments each may be self-promotion. * No low effort [https://wiki.discuss.online/view/Nerf_post_quality] content. * Only post thrift finds on Thursday - where “Thursday” starts at 1AM GMT-07 and runs for 24 hours. This corresponds to daylight Thursday for most of our readers. * Don’t recommend or show dangerous practices, such as these [https://wiki.discuss.online/view/Nerf_safety_rules]. There is to be absolutely no deliberate weaponization, even as a joke or against nonhuman targets. * Pirated/knockoff versions of hobby-made designs should not be shared; don’t give pirates free advertising. * Respect community standards (below) and stay on-topic (further below). # Community standards We maintain a higher standard of civility here than an average forum. Please be nice, and be forgiving: the other guy might be literally a kid. We have moderate post quality standards [https://wiki.discuss.online/view/Nerf_post_quality] here; nerfchatter [https://discuss.online/c/nerfchatter] is very lax. If you’d like to ask a question, please try googling it first. It’s “blaster/dart,” not “gun/bullet” - because the latter can lead to things [https://wiki.discuss.online/view/Why_we_say_%22blaster%22_on_Nerf_and_Nerf_chatter] that we’d rather avoid. This is a common mistake, but it is a mistake. Similarly, it’s good to be clear that realistic blasters shouldn’t be used in public spaces for the benefit of our young readers. # What we aren’t * 3d printing questions not specific to nerf should go on 3d printing communities. * You can buy/sell/trade/“what’s it worth?” on /r/nerfexchange (though we may make an exchange Lemmy community later). * No scripted battle footage. We have to ban this so that we don’t get flooded with it. This is very easy to find on YouTube if you for some reason want to see it. * No memes/jokes; there may be rare exceptions for discussions of ongoing events. Again, we have to ban this to not be flooded by it. Memes/jokes are very welcome at Nerfchatter [https://discuss.online/c/nerfchatter]. ::: ___ # Tags ::: spoiler Tagging makes your post easier for people to find. You can tag a post by including a tag (including the square brackets) anywhere in the title. As a rule of thumb, we suggest that tags higher on this list take priority if more than one could apply.

Lemmy isn’t a Reddit Replacement. It’s filling a need that Reddit failed to fulfill.

Lemmy, the "replacement" for Reddit - Discuss Online
Is Lemmy a replacement for Reddit or just something different? Before Reddit was Digg. Before Facebook was MySpace. Before Mastodon there was Twitter. Before Lemmy there was Reddit. It’s fair to say that each of these sites was or is going to be replaced. The time it takes for the migration is typically slow as the new system gains traction and features. I don’t believe they are direct replacements. If there was a copy of the existing site there would be no need to leave. Lemmy is different. Lemmy replaces a need not a site. When I was growing up the internet was created by the people. Corporate sites were rare and far between. They didn’t dominate. People would visit Geocities, Newgrounds, IRC, etc. The biggest players were AOL for chat and Yahoo for sports, news, & search. No site was perfect and beautiful and people didn’t care. It was wonderful. This all changed. It feels almost instant; however, I believe it was slow. Sites like Facebook promised to be the people’s network. Youtube took over as this amazing video hosting service. No more Flash! People thought the rough edges of the internet were over. They traded their personal information for free sites. They didn’t know what they were giving up. Over time these “small” sites became the Internet. 5 sites now are the internet to some people. It’s time for the internet to return to the people like it was before. Rough & personal. Lemmy replaces that need people have to connect on common topics and to gather news. It’s the newspaper of the people. Lemmy isn’t a Reddit replacement… it is filling a need that Reddit has failed to fill. Reddit became like Facebook, Google, Twitter, and Youtube. It wanted to be more than what people wanted it to be. It changed, so people are leaving. The fediverse is the future. It’s time to take the internet back!
Two new themes have been released on discuss.online and called no-light and no-light-open-dyslexic. That’s right! A theme for those with difficulty reading. See the preview!
