Let's hope Lemmy becomes a real alternative for reddit. The infrastructure looks good, now we just need the communities.
Exactly my thinking. Very impressive so far, and my only complaint has been finding the communities and the conversations I want to be in. But it will get there! (I hope)
Its so nice to see decentralized social media becoming more mainstream hopefully everyone will be off the big platforms soon
reddit refugee here! So far so good except there’s not a native app for lemmy on iOS so I’m using a safari “add to Home Screen” webapp for lemmy.ml , works pretty good!
Try mlem. I think you’ll need to install TestFlight to get it working.
Never installed TestFlight but it said I had to opt in or something. Does TestFlight mean beta apps that aren’t approved to be in the AppStore?
Yes. An update was released today for mlem and it seems much more stable to me. It’s a good time to get in and try it out.
Well alright then I’ll give it a shot!
i tried lemmy a few months ago but i didn't find enough content. I'm happy to see popularity is going up, and the new android app is a real game changer
What's the new Android app if you don't mind me asking?
i use jerboa ( available on fdroid)
i use jerboa too (from fdroid) and it's my first post ever with it :)
boom !
The Reddit exodus has begun! My only regret is not learning about lemmy and the fediverse before things blew up over there.
As one of the emigredditors, hell yeah! Personally though, I'm still testing the waters and making myself more comfortable here; it's eerily quiet here as compared to reddit, but I hope it's just a matter of time :)
I’ve been using redfugees but I think emigredditors is better
Man I knew there had to be a more witty word for this. I'd happily trade the word with redfugees XD
It's kind of awesome :) A question to others here. I mostly see stuff from beehaw and lemmy.ml on All. Are these the most active servers?
Except for lemmygrad, yes.
That seemed like a very strange place :|
Strange is a rather euphemistic word for it.
Well I knew many people who were in a similar place in real life. Most of them were unhappy and struggling in real life and got sucked into an ideology that seemed attractive. Eventually after understanding how it doesn't actually solve the problems they struggle with, most of them end up with non-extreme political learnings.
Many of the people I knew struggled a lot during this period and were exploited by others wanting to take advantage of their lack of exposure and experience.
Tldr; I try to be sympathetic to the people there as I've seen many people suffer a lot in real life going through the same. YMMV.
They are not cultists. There are more people from outside the anglosphere there so you might find them strange but try talking to them, they are normal people.
It feels like you've basically not read anything I've written. You'd be glad to know that I'm not in anglosphere and I don't think people who believe in communism are cultists either.
I've lived in one of the few places in the world where a communist leaning government has been elected on and off for many years and they haven't gone down the authoritarian route but participated in democracy.
None of that make the points I made invalid though.
