    I’m new to lemmy, but honestly I could’nt be more excited being a part of this amazing community, and I hope lemmy stays here longer than reddit!

      I think it’s impossible for it to disappear because anyone can back it up from what I understand.

    I just saw this on HN and thought: Oh well another community, but clicked on it. WOW, it is by far the fastest community website I ever saw. Can be really a good reddit replacement. I’m impressed! Keep going!

      what do you mean?

      are you on a quest for libre alternatives, that has finally been completed by finding a replacement for reddit?

        Is there a possibility that we can see a graph showing the amount of lemmy users in time?

          I don’t have anything set up currently… obvi it is possible bc I have the DB which has a time series of user and join times.

    Congratulations! I only joined a few days ago, but I already feel at home. Once federation hits, the numbers will go even higher. Onwards and upwards!

    Extremely interesting platform, finally a good alternative to reddit. :glowing star: The only real complaint I have is the design of the platform: it’s right in the middle between modern and raw. I would much rather like if it focused on one of the two approaches.
