They could really do with better explanation of the federated servers before people sign up. I did do a little research before I knew which instance to use
Well, that’s why open source is so powerful - everything can (and, in fact, should) be done by community for community
Usually developers aren’t good writers :)
I still hope it will become easier one day to Docker-host a Lemmy instance where other Docker setup and containers are already present and cannot be changed just for Lemmy.

I really don’t understand how people can still use reddit with a clean conscience especially after their treatment to Christian and other 3rd party developers. They’ve made it clear with their words and actions that they don’t give a fuck about their users, so how can a respectful person still choose to stay? It was a lost cause since the beginning, the protests were never going to work. I appreciate the ones who’ve decided to abandon the ship and join us here.
People are desensitized.
Most services or products have some toe dipped in shady shit, so people have been forced to learn to reconcile with participating more or less in a least some unethical bullshit, just to have a normal life.
Want to have a t-shirt? Probably just supported slave labour.
Want to talk to a friend? Probably just sold you digital soul to a megacorp, and at least two foreign powers.
I get what you’re saying and I also completely understand why people have become desensitised but there’s nothing more dangerous than an apathetic society.
We can’t end world hunger, but we can atleast feed a poor person. We can’t end child labour, but we can atleast sponsor a child’s education and basic necessities.
Just because we can’t end it all doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try and contribute to make our society a better place in whatever way we can.
I agree, and its one of the reasons I push the people around me to think about how the world works more.
I can’t fix everything, but I’m doing what I can, and I try to get the passive people I can get to, to snap out of it.
You said you couldn’t understand these people, but it’s possible. And doing so, is step one of getting through to them.
Your so right. All these things are because of capitalism. If we could tear that down we may get a chance to fix things. But as long as it exists the world will keep getting worse.
undefined> But as long as it exists the world will keep getting worse
The hope I have is that one day, with all the wealth this country has amassed through capitalism, the government can redistribute that wealth to improve the quality of life for citizens. Use that wealth to improve health care, affordable education, build a shit load of homes for people, I can go on and on.
It’s not wealth itself, it’s the way it’s used.
Absolutely true, when i saw that there are even people defending Reddit i just had to get rid of it.
I want to distance myself from this shit or my blood will boil over.
Cheers to a new home with people doing something against these megacorp practices these days.
“But companies must make profits! It’s what they are for!”
It’s disgusting. As if corporations technically being soulless, justifies them behaving in the exact way that implies they would, and do.
Check this out:
You do
to do that.
undefined> so how can a respectful person still choose to stay?
You have to keep in mind that most, maybe majority of people, are just consumers. They don’t care about the background stuff going on as long as they can access their favorite source of content. You can say the same thing about Twitter. People won’t care until it directly affects them.
The amount of people has increased, even within the last few days, a bigger community is always better, but I’d like us to keep the same optimistic and appreciative attitudes we all seem to have at the moment, that would really make it so much better than Reddit
That’s why I’m here Obi Wan meme
Check this out!
Can’t do that on reddit!
Hello there!
Already here
Was browsing Sync For Reddit a few minutes ago when it finally shut down. Just got the following notification:
Sync For Reddit has shutdown Thank you for using Sync. It’s been one hell of a ride.
Man am I pissed, but I’m happy to be here now.
Same here. I saw Sync developer was migrating to this platform so decided to check it out
If you didn’t already know
I’m in the same boat
Sync for Lemmy in ~6 weeks!
We’re gonna need a bigger boat.
Just got approved this morning. Glad to be here
Welcome to Lemmy! Have an updoot.
Joined today :)
Tbh I just hope that reddit will fail after 1st of july just so they would finally understand that the community is everything.
It won’t die in a straight line, but this is an inflection point that can help this or another platform mature to the point that it becomes an easier move for the next wave of dissidents.
There were 5500 users amonths 4 day’s ago.
Just arrived after sync stopped working… seems like a nice place :)
Welcome! Have an updoot! And yes, in my experience, it is.
Join us, the waters fine
I’m excited for everyone to see how much better Lemmy is. I’m really happy we have a good option outside of Reddit.
I’ll admit I’m moving from reddit and don’t yet understand what lemmy and the fediverse are all about. I’m currently using the Connect for Lemmy app. So far it feels like there’s a lot less content here, or I have no idea how to find the popular instances/communities. Another small gripe I have is when I search for a community (eg. gamedev) there’s multiple that seem to be about the same thing. I’ve subscribed to them all and I guess that’s just the nature of decentralized communities but it certainly makes the user experience a bit less seamless.
Does anyone have tips on how to best utilize Lemmy?
I honestly mind-blowing the way it has come alive in the last few weeks.
Brand new here, seems a little clunky but I’ll get used to it.
It does take a bit of poking around to learn, but once you get the hang of it things are pretty good. I’m excited for Sync for Lemmy so I have a more familiar app to use.
I currently trying https://wefwef.app/ interface, and it’s really clean (copy of Apollo ui)
Been using Wefwef the last couple days and it’s great.
We are already here.
Looking forward to some reddit app developer with a budget (just not as much of a budget as Reddit dreams of) during stepping in to give a better ui to this thing
The Sync for Reddit dev is in the process or making a lemmy client - so that’s something to look forward to!
Already here foe a few weeks
