I’m here from Reddit… Gimme hugs!
Created my own instance to help out. Created a few communities, hopefully they’ll become searchable from the big instances soon.
Thank you for your service.
In the future, there’s nothing that says you or anyone else can’t create accounts on a few of the large instances and subscribe to communities on your own instance to make this link happen!
Put some links to your communities, I’ll sub to start the link
I’ve made three so far -
https://1337lemmy.com/c/thesopranos
https://1337lemmy.com/c/chicubs
https://1337lemmy.com/c/chibears
The link has finally been made, so no need to sub unless you’d like to. Thanks for offering!
That’s great! Especially since I never really got into the sopranos, and I’m a Canadian who lives in Scotland, so I’m not a cubs or bears fan. If you make a community about roguelikes I’ll be all up in that shit!
And after the 1st of July too, probably
Definitely not. Before people were migrating from Twitter only just to go back
Don’t know. The thing with Mastodon is that you wouldn’t find people to follow and it lacked features people wanted.
Lemmy here is way more entertaining already. Of course a lot of people will just check it out and go back but I think enough will stick around. Like a small subreddit you enjoy and slowly grows.

I could never wrap my head around the discoverability and reach issues – I haven’t had any problems with either of those, and I’m running a solo server (though I’ve come to suspect that there was maybe a jargon and expectation barrier, and they just couldn’t overcome the different layout).
What I can understand is running away from the somewhat, uh, hostile welcome many of them got. Instead of bringing people in and helping them acclimate, a bunch of folks just got up in new peoples’ faces and gave them no room to make faux pas.
I don’t see that happening here. The crowd that’s showed up over the last week or so has been made up of core Reddit folks, and the atmosphere is very Reddit in nature.
It’s just the volume of content that is missing, and that already feels like it’s inching toward critical mass and can become self-sustaining.

Hmm. Unfortunate.
I think that just means we need moar bodies.

Honestly, I just don’t get twitter and never joined. I also don’t super get mastadon. I see people talking about having great conversations, but it seems like the WORST interface for that (fedilab on android anyway). It’s a good “rss aggregator” with comments, but the 500 character limit is still tiny for most comments I’d ever want to make, and the threading / comments are quite limited. At least on lemmy, if there’s a post people are replying to - you can see the replies, you’re not linked randomly half way through a thread, and you can type a longer comment. I just think I’m way more reddit acclimated, and actually I “grew up” with Slashdot so…

It’ll be good practice for when a bunch of third party apps die and some post about “how to go about delete your stuff and registering on this list of alternatives in just a few easy steps” comes up.
And by practice, I mean that the horse corpse is going to be fucking pulverized.
No one will come; you can’t use RIF here, either.
(ha ha)

It would make a great stress test though when suddenly millions join Lemmy :)
Reddit chose a very bad time to mess up, right when we’re in the middle of coding some of our biggest performance improvements. They timed this perfectly to make things as stressful as possible for nutomic and I lol.
Your efforts are appreciated!

I just discovered kbin which looks very nice. Do you plan to share the like/dislike feature with them so that accounts can be cross-used?
You might need to open up an issue on the github if likes aren’t federating with it.
I’ve been part of Ruqqus & Imzy, I hope that this time it will be a success! (hopium overdose)
I miss Imzy, that was such a wholesome site :)
I miss imzy tooo =(
