  • Lemmy will be bigger than Reddit as reasons why is it is taking a while to grow is because people are still learning about it and creating their first accounts however once that initial barrier is knocked down they’re here to stay. It also didn’t help much back then the third party apps weren’t so great during the api migration. And many moderators did not have expertise to start up their own instances so some decided to stay in the spez platform.

    I have had many people in classic wow tell me they never heard of Lemmy until I brought it up in guild chat. So hopefully I convinced a few to try out the platform.

  • It will be interesting seeing libertarian instances spring up.

  • I’m trying to post as much as I can to drive more conversation. Once people see all the benefits and experience the well crafted Lemmy third-party apps they wouldn’t want to go back.

  • I would imagine if the growth was too tremendous, the instance owners could always temporarily disable sign ups until more server infrastructure is ramped up.

    I can imagine this happening after Reddit loses more giants like BrookValley and once all the mobile third party mobile apps contain all the Lemmy features. I remember in June of last year when all the iOS apps were in beta and Wefwef was the only option and god forbid you wanted to do some modding on the fly and now look how far we have come.

  • Local instance culture will prevent the platform from feeling so cold like on Reddit and it helps that the platform isn’t ran by a corporation.

  • Every country should start its own instance. I wanna see a Brunei instance as Malaysia has one already!

  • Absolutely as I have been advocating for the platform to grow by convincing folks from Reddit to make the jump as Lemmy is a solid upgrade. With its open source, third-party apps, community ran servers, more detailed statistics and public modlogs.

    Here’s to 100k active users 🍻

  • Why do so many European instances use the name Feddit?

  • It’s cute seeing Europeans work together!

  • This cherry phone with a physical keyboard from the Philippines that allowed you to watch television using an antenna in the top right. However it sadly stopped booting for me.

  • What are some powerful open source projects everyone should know?

    Jump

  • Openstreetmaps has 10.5 million contributors and has an open license that provides more detail and has many third party apps unlike Google Maps or Apple Maps.

  • Would you be interested in and engage with a Lemmy community for video game mods and modding?

    Jump

  • Yes! Open source jibes well with mods!

  • If they admit they're below the age of 15 they should be banned until they reach the mature age.

  • Anyone who claims they’re vegan when they’re consuming honey is lying.

  • Using animal products is not vegan.

    Edit:

    The comparison doesn’t apply here as using honey goes against the very definition of veganism.

    ”Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals."
