We came to lemmy after reddit become nice and started letting people use there api without playing. Reddit even open sourced there code as a bonus! We didn't like reddit being nice so we switched to lemmy. Lemmy is much better because its close source and full of spyware. Lemmy makes people pay 100 dollars for every api request. Us Lemmings love are spyware, bloatware, adware, malware, and virus all in one fun packet!

I can't tell if this is a serious question or not, but it's pretty complicated to fully explain. The short of the long of it is that now that MySpace has started to use retina verification for their 2FA, people are upset that it's an invasion of privacy due to the reflective nature of human ball eyes. Since Lemmy only requires a password for mod accounts, it's an easier platform for people to use to share embedded auto play music and glittery gifs. I don't think it'll last though, word on the street is that Digg is going to be removing all authentication methods soon, so I expect a majority of the userbase will move there

Word got out about the amazing and intuitive UI, and the ease with which you can find and subscribe to your interests. Personally, I’m never going back to AOL.

It's because of the beautiful Pig Latin translation - Emmylay. That's brought in a few thousand on its own.

Reddit is making too many good decisions right now.

What? It isn't popular.

The rest of the internet got lost. Don't fly Air Canada with luggage you will miss.

Everyone was watching the SpongeBob SquarePants Movie one day, they googled Motörhead after hearing them perform You Better Swim in the bar scene, and the rest is history.

Always loved Lemmy...

Communism. Americans decided they would fight KKK and Nazism with the same vigor and discovered that communism was way better.

somone is testing the new chat-gtp version and seeing if they could fool everyone.

Reddit is too nice to look at.

The transdusing trinometer was incorrectly orientated resulting in a near waveform collapse. Of course, this resulted in micro collisions in the electrophase limiter. Resulting in the redirection of significant portions of the redditoids to lemmy.

That's easy. Lemmy is in my Extended Network.

Personally, I came here for the ads

People FINALLY realized the unethical behaviour of all major corporations and joined lemmy as a signal of the incoming revolution...

I thought it's a platform for Motörhead fans

People were searching for the game "Lemmings" and accidentally ended up here.

hold on, lemmy think about it first...

Why made Lemmy so popular the past few days?

Probably because Scott Adams and J. K. Rowling endorsed it.

The Poop post hit 9Gag a few days days ago. Then a bunch of them started coming to “Lemmy: Discorse is Magic” all the time “ironically.” There were a bunch of inside jokes about how much they “hated” Lemmy. They even came up with a name to identify each other because this joke of loving Lemmy was so funny. They called themselves Brommys.

Then a bunch of other sites started to notice all the 9gagger coming to Lemmy but didn’t know that it was supposed to be ironic, so they just came and had a really good time. They participated and were active in communities. They learned of the fediverse and just decided it was a really great place to be… Sometimes there was some NSFW stuff.

Then a bunch of them got together and decided throw Broemmycon and they hired a really pretty good who does Broemmy based music to come and play as the event headliner. And everyone had a good time, even the old 9gagger who used to think it was a joke.
