I love lemmy so much more.
Not to mention reddit banned me lol but for some reason it felt like a weight was lifted.
Why do you think lemmy hasn’t ‘gotten up there’ yet like reddit?
The only thing that makes me sad about lemmy, is there arnt many posts.
Unless I’m filtering wrong.
Do you guys have any lemmy sub/community suggestions?
What do you think of lemmy?
Exactly. Some obscure subreddits have more users than entire lemmy instances (if not all of them combined)
People like to say they dont use Lemmy because its mostly tech stuff, however there’s way more content and discussion of tech stuffon r/homelab and r/selfhosted.
These days its hard to attract new users to websitesbecause a lot of them got sucked into Instagram, tiktok and other stupid apps that seem to be winning over the youth of today.
What are lemmy instances can you send me some?
Crash course in digital decentralization!
Basically Lemmy is the social platform right? These are maintained in servers, but here’s the catch: anyone can run lemmy on their own homeserver!
You and I are right now conversing on https://www.lemmy.ml but this is only one instance. Each instance is basically its own platform but uses the lemmy source code, each has its own rules, communities and moderators.
Here’s a list of instances you can sign up to (right now you have a lemmy.ml account)
But not only that, here’s the wilder part: those instances federate with each other! This means you can communicate with people from other instances without leaving yours. This is why you occasionally see here people with usernames that end with “@lemmygrad.ml” or “@beehaw.org” and etc.
Here are the instances that lemmy.ml federates with.
