lemmy.world just reached 1000 users.

Please remember that the server was created June 1st! So still might notice some startup issues… but so far so good! Welcome @all!

      You can thank reddit CEO lol, he just held the most pathetic AMA I’ve seen, people are even angrier than before :D

      p.s. also watch out for next Monday, that’s when the reddit blackout begins

      At this point you will be probably the biggest instance before the start of the new week 😂

        Well let’s see if it doesn’t crash before that. I can scale the hardware but not sure about scaling the software yet…

    Is this where the cool kids are hanging these days? (Just joined as a refugee from that other place)

        Great thing about fediverse, maybe @ruup goes full blown tyrannical, we can go over to another server.

        If it’s possible to build perpetual social media, this is how it would look

    It seems a bit laggy to me, but that’s hardly surprising. I hope we can form a good little community of outsiders here! 👍

      Can you tell me what’s laggy? Only thing I noticed is the ‘Post’ or ‘Reply’ that takes too long.

        Pretty much everything has a bit of lag on my end. Not complaining, I understand why, just letting you know.

    Just made a new general Star Wars community! I have no idea how to grow something like that, so any Star Wars fans come on over and help!

    Congrats!! That’s quite a milestone in such a short period :)

    Edit: sorry if this is not the proper place to ask but is there a way to donate for server expenses?

    Am I indirectly supporting lemmy devs by being on lemmy.world? I’d rather not be supporting tankies.

      Just by using their software. They have no other involvement in this server.

    Hi folks, just joined Lemmy to see what it’s all about. This seemed like a good thread (is that the term?) to make a first comment :-)

          Ah, give it time. Change is scary. And it is easy to be complacent. But ‘luckily’ Reddit will chase them to here.

            I think the biggest impediment (besides the learning curve of the new format) is the fact that there are many more users and much more activity on Reddit. It will take time to build enough of a user base on lemmy to convince people to join.

            That being said, the subreddit blackout starting June 12th will remove that advantage for Reddit. Even if most of the subreddits only participate for 48 hours, that might be sufficient to drive enough people to lemmy that it becomes perceived as a viable alternative.

            Fingers crossed!
