It’s all good I’m still mostly getting 1 upvote, similar to reddit
You’re doing your best and that’s OK!
Why was Obama crying?
He was moved by the speech Obama gave for him.
Oh wow, of course, duh. It was so obviously obvious.
It’s seems that my audience was also mostly just one person… That person is dedicated though.
My audience is one person to me I’m dedicated to being my biggest fan though
That calls for a c/suicidebywords :D
Seeings subreddits namedropped makes me teary-eyed 🥺
(I know Reddit is still technically alive, but it’s dead to me now)
Now you got 68 since the community here is awesome. :)
Now 81
My account here is 4 years old. I was so excited to learn about Lemmy back then, but the user base was painfully low. I’m getting that same excitement I had back then.
Please new people, make this your permanent home and forget Reddit!

we are come that you may have engagement, and have engagement more abundantly. - lemmy jesus
And the Reddit blackout hasn’t even started yet. Gonna be interesting to see what this place looks like a week from now. I’m excited!
blackout?
I’m definitely considering taking up permanent residence
People stay if there is enough content and the user experience doesn’t suck. So fare, more and more people try to engage and build new communities. Just try to add value. Also the UI and Apps improved quickly but its fare from perfect :-)
That’s the idea 😉
on it my good sir!
I’m grateful to see open source softwares blow up online
Yes, I’m very proud of the Reddit community for several times over the years mass-recommending open source and federated options.

Yeah still missing a lot of country/thing-specific communities
It’s like a warm, beautiful sunset.
“Back in my day?” When I joined Lemmy just two days ago I rarely ever saw a post hit 30 or 40. I was afraid I made a mistake and put effort into a dead platform. Turns out I was just ahead of the curve.
I miss the old lemmy from a week ago when i signed up haha, feels like it blew up so much.
Yeah, Lemmy has changed alot already for us “old timers” :)
back in my day there was only one thread with hundreds of comments. Kids these days have it easy.
Yep, ‘back in my day’ you could finish reading everything posted that day. I’m glad it’s kicked off!
Same boat. It’s kind of amazing, you can literally watch the userbase grow with popular entries getting more and more general upvotes.
I jumped on a week ago. The change in that time has been totally insane! I went from being able to scroll for an hour maybe for the first few days, to now, it’s developing into a full blown doom-scroll addiction…
What do you mean? Lemmy started last week right? /s
Lemmy! THE HOT NEW REDDIT SENSATION CREEPING THE NATION!
REDDIT WHO!?
EXACTLY!
LEMMY’S GOT TECHIES, IT’S GOT TREKKIES, IT’S GOT MASTODON INTEGRATION AND ISN’T OWNED BY A CORPORATE ENTITY, OR ANY GOVERNMENT! RADICAL!
This is the redditest comment on Lemmy i’ve ever read
F
Might as well carry on as usual. I like to think nothing changed and we just moved.
The community is thousands of times more important than where it happens to be.
scrap the current https://join-lemmy.org/ we need a screenshot of this comment up there and nothing else NOW
Everything started last wednesday.
I feel nostalgic in advance for having stumbled on an inside joke that I was almost around early enough to be on the inside of but can nevertheless clearly project myself there.
I joined a year ago and it’s crazy, i remember getting excited over 20 upvotes, that AMA and the whole 3rd party fiasco really brought a lot of people here!
My first comment was the most upvoted comment on a subreddit. I got 19 upvoted.
People are just much more supportive and friendlier here. But I guess because we are in a state now before all the assholes join from reddit…
I really hope that won’t be the case. So far I like Lemmy and the vibe here a lot and am not afraid to comment somewhere which was the case on Reddit. I hope it stays that way, guess we’ll see that after the blackout.
Maybe it’s just me but Mastodon seems still way friendlier than Twitter, I guess partly to do with the people but also the platform structure that seems to have less incentive to attack people. Hope it’s the same for Lemmy.
Let’s get this to 500!
I think we reached 500 already. To 1000!
Yeah, just passed 600…
“I’m doing my part!” is probably the most used meme on Lemmy
Yeah…but I used the doge version!
I’ve already readthat
I blame phone posting :/
I didn’t even notice your username and was just trying to be helpfully funny, not sarcastic 😅
ya’ll better keep that at 20
I’m doing my part
The Earth Federation thanks you!
Squash those bugs!!!
The only good bug is a dead bug!
I remember before federation was an implemented feature and there were like 5 instances that couldn’t talk with each other. I feel old now.
I remember reddit before even subs when it was just a single page for tech news :(
I remember when helium was created from hydrogen in the biggest of bangs
I still can’t get my iOS app to let me comment
Oh shit it actually worked, upvotes for all. Sorry for shitting on you mLem!
Wait is there a specific Lemmy person? Because I initially though that this site was some Motorhead fan page that evolved into a reddit alternative lol lol. Im so old.
Nah its named after Lemmy, but not a fan page haha
From their Github:
Why’s it called Lemmy?
- Lead singer from Motörhead.
- The old school video game.
- The Koopa from Super Mario.
- The furry rodents.
Holy shit, you’re famous
Hey it’s that guy who got 20 upvotes!
Look at you with 6 whole upvotes!
Go Lemmy!
Hopefully this will increase next week!
