Lemmy just reached a new milestone: 1 million posts, across 1,323 servers.
Took a lot of beans, but we got there
Wooo! Finally got my account working and left my very active, high-karma, 7 year old account where I was active as a freelance bot bounty hunter, so I’m also taking my freelance bot-squashing away.
I was in a couple of subs* there for like a week after Apollo died because of the learning curve, and now I’m 100% Lemmy and haven’t even checked reddit for a week.
I was actually a customer in addition to a user and cancelled my premium account on Reddit too. As a software UXD and old-school developer on everything from Acorn, Commodore, Intellivision, Basic, but of assembly, VB, Perl, C versions through ++ and #, all the horrid Java incarnations, sql/oracle, and now web, enterprise, unity, and enough deep dives into Reddit’s GitHub to learn its a clusterfuck in there…
I’m done with them. This isn’t something you push a fix for. It’s something you fire your entire executive team over or just give up and let the bots have it. That’s where they are, I think.
I left Reddit after 15 years active. Refuse to go back. Is there any way to see if traffic over there has dropped? I’m still trying to figure this Lemmy thing out, is there a way to just see the most popular communities in a list I can just join? I’m manually searching for communities and randomly joining. Thanks!
I've dubbed to s Reddit Lemmy. I get some updates from there. There has been a drop, but not like, 50% of users or anything like that. I think they bigger issue they were having is that the protests are hurting.
My very favorite way right now is to scroll the All feed sorted by Hot. Then if anything is good I click in and subscribe, if it's annoying or in German then you can block the community (no hate, just don't speak it)
I’m also new here. I’ve seen this site mentioned a few times. https://lemmyverse.net/communities though I’ve been doing the “look at community name, click, click subscribe” on the all feed for a few days now instead.
I’m in this image and I like it.
