Everything about Lemmy; bugs, gripes, praises, and advocacy.
For discussion about the lemmy.ml instance, go to !meta@lemmy.ml.
How do you feel about the massive influx of users?
I just hope that it will be more distributed than Matrix and not everyone registers on lemmy.ml (matrix.org in case of matrix) so the decentralization works for real here instead of 90% (exaggerating, don't know the numbers) of the user base sitting on one instance :)
It's cool The reason why I even joined lemmy is that the administration here allow magnet links
God, site is so SLOW. They need to bring new servers, maybe charge extra for each api call? IDK
Guys, what are you on about.
It's very clear that Lemmy is dead on arrival.
Don't you see it?
/s
That person is saying it like it's a bad thing that signing up isn't brain-dead.
That user does have a point. The higher a barrier to entry the less people you are going to get.
Though there is something to be said for the selection of people that get filtered out. While I appreciate large communities because of the variety of view points available, the quality increasing due to a barrier of entry has advantages too.
As a side note, thanks for writing up guides for people!
Je trouve ça incroyable, je me suis inscrit ya à peine une semaine et les postes avaient genre 50-100 upvote max et la ça touche les 800. Puis c'est sympa de voir d'avantage de contenu.
it's cool
A nice website for looking for servers, platforms, and user numbers over time is: https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy
Also handy for getting a picture of how many lemmy servers there are and how big they are.
Lemmy go brrrrr
I'm happy for users to join the federated alternative!
As a newbie, I hope the software can catch up to the needs quickly.
I’m super excited for the potential this has. Happy to be here and hoping to help build a great online community with you all!
I think we really need to address the scaling issue, one option could be to use clichhouse instead of postgres
Man, I been waiting for this for years. I thought with the way Mastodon grew it'd eventually grow into a wider growth among the fediverse but it seems to happen in fits and starts. Glad to see people are federating too and not all dumping into just the mainline instance.
Next I'd like to see major names move off YouTube and Twitch onto decentralized platforms but that's gonna take much more to get there, unfortunately.
I'm not new to Lemmy, I've hung around here on and off a couple times since the start of the year. My biggest complaint about it for a long time was that many of the subs I was interested in were just dead or didnt exist on lemmy. With the new influx of users, I imagine that's going to change, even if it does take a couple more years.
The future of Lemmy is looking very promising :)
Honestly this platform is welcoming & people are dignified through conversations. Also informative.
Hell yeah brother
Joined Lemmy because of permanent suspension from the Snoosite for harassment, which I clearly didn't commit at that time.
