MicroWaveLemmy.world reaches new milestone: 100k users and counting!
AlmightySnoo 🐢🇮🇱🇺🇦I was waiting for a MicroWave thread about this 😁 Congratulations everyone for this milestone! 🥳
qwertyqwertyqwertyI’m trying to keep up with the reverse jargon, but what the heck is a MicroWave thread?
Just done by Microwave, an enthusiastic poster
Oh geez. Got it. Thank you!
No worries, have a good day!
SpaceBarWasn’t lemmy.world only created in mid June?
SevVery nice! Long may it continue.
teftWould you like to know more?
The only good bud is a dead bug!
Clover🍀 I’m from Beunos Aries and I say, kill them all!
Steve AnonymousI dong my part for Lemmy.world everyday!!
Ulu-Mulu-no-dieHaha me too :D
Tell me more about this “dong”
I’m not going back to Reddit, that’s for sure. Unless…they come up with an i486 theme…🤔
EdibleFriendI hope it picks up speed so i get more content like on reddit but…yeah. im very happy with the switch and its only been a day for me.
Chef’s kiss 👩🍳
trouser_mouseIt’s been handled amazingly well on the whole, too!
glad to be a part of this community!
I’ve only been using Lenny for a day and a half, but I’ve been having a great time. The memes are 10/10 and everything else is coming together nicely. This is already my Reddit replacement, genuinely.
LETS GO LENNY!!!
Ha, I was laughing at someone else writing Lenny earlier. Never considered that it was just auto-correct and that I should be careful not to do the same 😅
RembrandtQEinsteinPetition to change the lemmy.world logo to Lenny
mintiefreshYes. Where do I sign lol
If lemmy goes in the wrong direction and everyone abandons (water)ship, Lenny would be a good pejorative. After all, who better to unwitting snap a rodent’s neck than Lenny?
Not Lenny!
Lenny ftw, so much better than Reffit
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
MxM111I came due to protest, but staying for quality of fediverse users (posting from kbin)
Metal Zealot I just signed up the other day once I discovered the dev for Sync was starting development on a Lemmy app.
I wanted to ask regular Lemmy users… What is your opinion on the influx of people from Reddit? Do you fear it will change the social atmosphere here, or do you welcome new users to the community?
I’ve seen plenty of posts venting about Reddit already, and I imagine that’ll probably get tiring really fast for long lasting Lemmy users (Lemmyers?)
First, it is not just lemmy, it is the fediverse (replying to you from kbin.social - my preferred cup of tea). Second, I see that the mostly good people/posters are leaving Reddit, I do not see, for example, personal attacks when people disagree here in fediverse, I see no removed/moderated comments or posts. I am sure it happens here too, it is just so rare… it reminds me of the days of mass migration from digg. So, at least for now I think this is great, and it separates people who are ready to stand for principles from the rest. Welcome.
I agree, the vibe has generally been more upbeat and optimistic, with the occasional venting. Thank you for the welcome!
I’m still figuring out how the fediverse works, but it makes sense more or less.
Hopefully more people can see the benefit of truly being in control of your content you put out, as well as the content that you see.
MiddleWeighYea so far it’s great. I’d imagine once it’s easier to access, well see a slow decline in quality discourse and content, but that’s all things, so I’m just enjoying the moment tbh.
hopefully the principles of federated networking will help keep that to a minimum though? It’ll be interesting to see how people that are used to Twitter/Reddit will adapt to their counterparts when theyre so used to being kept in a very defined box.
Vlemmy refugees flocking in?
OverfedRaccoon 🦝Glad to be part of the growth. Congrats! 🎇
ihavenopeopleskillsI like Kbin better, but I am happy and proud to contribute to this rapidly expanding family of communities that repudiates control by megacorps and Big Tech.
PseuThe great thing is that there's no competition between lemmy and kbin. We can use whichever we prefer and still have access to all the same communities.
Can you explain what the difference is other than they are separated instances?
CodedheartFrom my limited understanding they're all based on activitypub, so the way we interact and generate content is the same. The difference is the UIand implementation of features outside of activitypub
It's different software displaying the content. Like if you used either Outlook, Gmail, or Thunderbird to show email. You can go to kbin.social and compare to what you've got, and there's a bunch of scripts posted in kbinStyles to further customize the looks (that might be wrapped into later versions of kbin perhaps).
NewBreezeCongratulations and keep going strong, Lemmy.world! Just joined 2 days ago myself and loving it so far (first ever comment testing). Cheers👍!
Well I’m loving Lemmy.world so far. Feels refreshing in here.
I wasn’t commenting much on Reddit, but in here I feel like participating.
Congrats and thanks Lemmy.world admin Rudd
Hello from Kbin. It's nice that we can hang out.
NimaIt is pretty sweet. The fediverse. It’s nice that we can all hang out. ☺️
waves across the tubes
Lifecoach5000Al Gore invented those you know.
The internet is not something you just dump something on.
I absolutely love it. I can’t wait for the fediverse to thrive with lemmy integration for peertube and an imgur alternative
SpectatorJust a week and a half ago, we were celebrating going from #2 to #1 most populous instance. And just 2 weeks before that, I had no idea what a lemmy was.
It’s like catching a nice surf wave.
Rhabuko
sugarfreeHappy to be a part of this.
MarxineCongrats on the milestone! @[email protected] would it be possible (if you haven’t done so already) to make one for Lemmy usage across all instances (or at least the major ones)?
Impressive and amazing. I expect the Fediverse will continue to grow - in terms of users, content and engagement.
Altima NEOSucks for beehaw
What happened with them?
At the beginning of the great migration, they got overwhelmed by troll harras accounts, that used lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works open registration to evade bans. A lot of while stuff got posted (like photos of murdered drag queens). They decided to defederate from both instances temporarily until they have better mod tools. I don’t think it was necessary but they do that they think is the best for their community. At that point Beehaw had some of the best communities through and many people were angry to get kicked out for something that wasn’t their fault.
Nice thing about federation is that people have choices but I thought that move make them lose audiences and users.
Oh wow… Thanks for the background info. I’ve seen people here saying negative things about beehaw, and didn’t know exactly why.
