People getting sick and tide of Reddit. TBH I’m still salty over them killing 3rd party apps and I’m so glad they did because that drew the line for me, also fuck spez.
They’ve basically banned anonymous accounts. Their whole thing was anonymity.
2025 is the year of the Lemmyverse!
Woo more people to join our cult. Everyone will get their robes in the mail
Wait, I’ve been here almost 2 years, where’s my robes‽
A lot of folks here are talking about Reddit being shitty but I switched because I’m in Europe and I don’t want to enrich especially US Companies off of my personal data.
I just really wish there was more active communities for things I like.
I made the Path of Exile community which is currently empty.
There’s no Burning Man community yet for SOME UNKNOWN REASON
All the EDM communities are dead including the one I made.
Send Help!
I didn’t realize that was only 50 thousand users. Muddy have been only 5000 in 2023 during the API Exodus.
50 thousand users
Active users, so vote, post or comment. Lurkers aren’t counted.
Yeah but fucking still. I never would’ve imagined i was surrounded by more peers at any given Bills game than there were people accross the whole world contributing to Lemmy on avg. That’s sooooo fucking wild.
It’s also so crazy how in a stadium of 70,000 people from US and Canada I will see someone i know every piss or beer break. Whereas Lemmy is half that amd I am 100% positive I’ve never interacted or saw a comment/post on Lemmy from anyone I know. It’s just crazy to see the perspective of seeing the odds of being 1 out of 70,000 vs being 40,000 out of 6 or 7 billion. Obviously I’m intentionally ignoring all the variables at play for the real reason I know people at bills games vs lemmy but it’s still the quntificatikn that I found amazin.
Hi I’m new! Finally created an account
Welcome!!!
Thank you!
Welcome! We’ve got memes on deck at !memes@lemmy.world and if you’re a programmer of some kinds we got !programmer_humor@programming.dev to scratch that itch and be sure to drop a shit(post) off at !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world or if you want SCIENCE and memes head over to the wonderful !science_memes@mander.xyz or if you just want regular SCIENCE mander.xyz is full of sciency comms like !science@mander.xyz and !astronomy@mander.xyz. !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone is also nice this time of year, but you’ll have to post before you can leave.
We’re not without our cons though, biggest problem we have are probably the Tankies (Authoritarian “communists” who will overlook any wrong doings of China, Russia, NK because they think their governments are the “gold standard”), but here they’re mostly on the Tankie Triad lemmy.ml, lemmygrad and hexbear. You have a .ee account and they do federate with .ml and lemmygrad but not hex iirc, but on Lemmy you can do a personal instance wide block if you’d rather just not deal with them. If you want to see what they get up to from a safe distance check !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works
Subjectively, Lemmy’s communities are much more robust and have a lot more content than they did during the Reddit API exodus. I imagine there will be more people who choose to stay this time around.
Yep, I discovered let me during the API Exodus, and then came back recently with this last wave. They’re definitely feels like there’s a lot more here than last time!
Also finding a lot of value in reading and actually interacting with comments and content, on Reddit I just felt kind of drowned out and a lurker
The problem is that communities feel dead if they’re below a certain critical mass of users and the resulting content. If we can hit that critical mass it will take off on its own
Yep we all need to get posting and chatting to encourage others
I’m trying to do my part
Love your name BTW its adorable
Happy to be here! I’m looking forward to my new home in Lemmy!

Welcome to the fediverse, here is my anti-“tankie triad” copypasta spam.
How is an incessant pattern of instance harassment appropriate for !fediverse@lemmy.world?
You would warn newcomers about the Tankie Triad too if you had repeatedly seen all the stories of “I tried Lemmy, but it just seemed like a bunch of tankies, turns out it was just because I was on .ml when I tried it again”
There’s tons more that never came back and go on life thinking Lemmy is Voat 2.0. I know this because there’s plenty of comments on Reddit whenever Lemmy comes up about “it’s just Tankies over there”
Yes, how dare I try to protect Lemmy’s rep, I don’t want to see this place become Voat 2.0
Ah I get it now, you’re most likely a .ml alt account, so goodbye!
Tankie definition: "authoritarian communists, especially those who support acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof.
I’ve had enough of reddit

hey cm0002 why are you on lemmy.cafe now?
Trying to shore up against .ml brigading, before I was instance-banned so .ml users couldn’t see my posts n stuff. Then 2 months later, totally not coinciding with a recent meme I posted, davel was so kind as to fix that and only manually ban me from .ml comms individually so that .ml users could see and brigade my posts and comments again
