Refugee Redditors as they make the move.

Me, who's already been here for a few weeks, trying to just load a post or make a comment right now with the influx of traffic:

Image Transcription: Meme

['Let me in' - a two panel image of a man in a suit standing outside a closed metal gate, and shaking it vigorously in the second panel with his head tilted back and his mouth open screaming. The second panel also has small amount of motion blur. There is text at the bottom of both images.]

LEMMY IN.

LEMMY IIIIIIIN!

^I'm a human volunteer transcribing posts in a format compatible with screen readers, for blind and visually impaired users!^

I'm in this picture and I'm actually ok with it.

Me, who didn't join one of the huge instances, instead hosting his own instance: "Why is everyone complaining? Lol."

“Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free”

Me trying to login in to every instance except the one where I signed up.

Now we need lemmy.in

Let's do this thing.

Hopefully, the momentum of people transferring to lemmy stays. I've had conversations with other Redditors who recognized the importance of third party apps but went ahead and downloaded the official app anyway.

I am honestly curious how long it will take for lemmy to get its first million users. May we win or not. but still nice to see a chance and grow

Me cuz I suck with computers and couldn’t figure out how to make an account. It kept failing and one wanted me to write an essay on why I should be considered. Im a casual reddit users I didn’t want to write an essay. Finally signed up with lemmy.world and I know its slow cuz a lot of people are on it but at least it worked lol.

Is me! Dig it so far!

I have a feeling that the user of lemmy gonna be called lemmyin (lemmy in) just like how reddit and their users are redditor

Lemmyin this train. We're leaving reddit!!!!

Oh god I finally was able to log in, 2 days after I thought I failed to make an account because none of the emails went through.

I wish there was some sort of way that I could send CPU power or bandwidth, tor style, to these new decentralized platforms. I totally get that they're having growing pains, and I also get that part of the tradeoff of decentralization is "well, who pays the hosting bills then?"

I'd love to put a percentage of my bandwidth and home server (or even AWS instance) CPU resources towards running an encrypted Lemmy.world instance. I don't want to just run my own barren, empty server like what the Federated system would let me do; I don't feel like that would actually have any benefit to making a reddit-replacement since why would anyone use my instance? No, I specifically want to dedicate resources to helping the popular instances, be able to run.

I had my wife sign up yesterday as a daily reddit user and average tech skills. Based on that experience, I really don't think lemmy is going to go mainstream in its current form.

I was told there would be a refuge omelet bar!

There are dozens of us! Dozens!

I imagine Lemm.ee is bursting at the seams by now

I don't speak on behalf of everyone, but we prefer the term r/efugees

That was literally was me as I tried to make an account for 36 hours

This works a lot better than I thought it would lol

You earned my first upvote, or whatever it's called here. Bravo!

stumbles in from reddit and throws up racist memes all over the floor

I feel exposed.

How long has Lemmy actually been around? I only even heard about it because of the Reddit shit, and I had been actively looking for a replacement for almost 2 years.

I FINALLY managed to make an account after 4 days of lurking limbo! Hi guys!

This was the perfect post!!

It's me!

Me trying to figure out which damn app I can use that won't crash.

After 16+ years on Reddit, I deleted my comments and posts and then my account. Did the same with Twitter. A little sad but also liberating.

Lemmein!!

Enjoying Lemmy so far! Hoping the communities fill out a bit. Need my communities for IASIP and Walking Dead 🥺

LMAO

lolol def feel a little homeless

Yup. Need to fix the itch. Using wefwef to imitate Apollo App

My biggest problem so far is that reddit.com is entered automatically by muscle memory. I need to rewire my brain, or redirect reddit.com to lemmy.world in the router.

I'm a degenerate gambler from Reddit. Now I'm a degenerate gambler on Lemmy.

😂😂😂

Me trying to login in to every instance except the one where I signed up.

Made an account on sh.itjust.works now and the performance is so much better. Federation is so awesome.

I am refugee no idea what’s going on yet but it feels right.

Hey guys! This is my very first comment ever on the Fediverse. I'm still not 100% sure how this all works. My tech-savvy brother tried explaining it to me, and I think it's like a collection of sites, each with their own collection of subs, all connected through one account, so you have the ability to cross-platforms seamlessly. I'm so happy to finally hop on this lemmingrush like everyone else! :) Hi everyone!

The memes are already better than reddit’s daily meme reposts

theres hope

LEMMY IN LEMMY MAKE AN ACCOUNT LEMMY BEEHAWWAAAAA

So a few months in I can see now lemmy is a great alternative to reddit, but most people are still on reddit and u/spez was right. The uproar is gone by and everybody just lives with a shitty reddit app now and api is now paid.

Well...damn... https://domains.google.com/registrar/search/whois/lemmy.in?hl=en&searchTerm=lemmy.in

we need a dad jokes community

Haha :D

we need a dad jokes community

The narwhal has been baconed, I'm ready for the reddit switcheroo to lemmy

My momma said I’m allowed in so let me in now!!!! 🤣
