I’ve enjoyed the influx of new users over the past week or so. Hope things continue to stay awesome around here even with lots of new faces. So far, it’s been pretty great! Thank you all!

I’m hoping they can get an “exit strategy” in place so that communities and users can move off instances that might have to go away for one reason or another. Seems like key functionality on the fediverse. It’s been a really cool community so far though. Reminds me of the way early Digg and Reddit felt, before they hit critical mass.
Yeah my reddit account will be 12 in a week or too, first day on lemmy liking it so far. Very optimistic about its future
Welcome! Was with reddit since 2011. The feeling here is familiar to the early days but less advice animals lol.

Day one of Lemmy for me as well. Feels decent with Mlem app on IOS. The navigation feels a bit complicated and gotta admit I don’t understand what it means to be in lemmy.world or something else. Is this like a subreddit?
No, communities are like subreddits. What you’re talking about is an instance. It’s like a whole other Reddit that can interact with all the other Reddits. If one Reddit starts misbehaving, the party’s not over because we can all just migrate to another one.
How would that work? If an instance would misbehave, can the other instances vote them out of the federation?
No voting necessary. Instances can just choose not to associate with misbehaving instances and then there’s no way for them to keep bothering you. There are a few Nazi instances out there in the fediverse but they eventually end up on an island of their own since no one will allow them in.
Happy cake day :)
I mass deleted all my comments and posts on reddit, hope this will be my new home.
Happy cake day. I’ve never caught mine on either site lol
I’m with you. I was shocked to see the little cake next to my name today. 😅
Happy Cake Day - you and Me xD
Hey, nice! Happy Cake Day to you too!
Happy cake day! My og reddit account before I began anew was created 2018 iirc. Right before the introduction of new reddit and gallery uploads, when there were still only three reddit awards. It’s shocking how much the reddit experience had been downgraded so fast.
