      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.

      There are many alternative themes that you can pick from.

    A reddit alternative, federated, FOSS and named after Lemmy Kilmister, I’m in.

          I’m not sure, I don’t really follow the development, but I think there are a couple of instances for testing federtation, and also some component that are already federated, but not fully functional yet, but it seems that federation is the main priority atm.

                thanks, I just took a fast peek, they do not seem to be federating from this instance.
