Lemmy has so much more and more diversified content than at the time of the API exodus. Hopefully, it will help us much more lemmygrant this time around.

Hopefully people start posting in niche communities!

(But not the Taylor Swift armpit one)

[–] pennomi@lemmy.world 14 points 13 hours ago (3 children)

The thing I miss most from Reddit is all the niche technical communities. So much knowledge is contained in those.

[–] Zink@programming.dev 8 points 12 hours ago

Sounds to me like we need universities and maybe even governments to be running Lemmy instances.

Did you say especially the Taylor Swift armpit one? You perv.

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 12 points 13 hours ago

Yeah, what's it called so I don't accidentally stumble on it?

[–] AbsoluteChicagoDog@lemm.ee 7 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Which community is that so I can block it?

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 7 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

Hah, beat you to the joke by 4 minutes, nerd!

Honestly, that's like a millisecond in Lemmy terms, so well done.

The other answers are correct, I just wanted to add that they're talking about Reddit

[–] IDKWhatUsernametoPutHereLolol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

The first time people actually joined lemmy, before then was probably like 1 instance with near-dead activity.

Yes I’m here so expect this place to be filled with awful soon.

I can’t go back to Reddit. Bots, bots as far as the eyes can see.

I came back to Lemmy as in trying to avoid American corporation owned social networks. Reddit falls into that category.

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 11 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I have been temporarily banned from a new account I made a while ago to return after my permabanned last summer. I am seriously thinking of fully ditching reddit save for a few special nerdy interests (and porn).

[–] ButtDrugs@lemm.ee 7 points 14 hours ago

We have porn! But yeah we need more population growth for niche and local communities to really flourish.

I finally made the move to setting up an account here and wean my reddit usage.

It's getting so bad on there, so many bots, trolls, and paid agitators. Plus the uptick in fascist apologists. Smaller communities with higher bars to entry produce better conversation, in my experience.

[–] Zink@programming.dev 8 points 12 hours ago

This place is so much better for actually discussing things.

Do you have a graph for these numbers?

I’ve logged back onto here for the first time in ages because I do not trust big tech.

[–] TrueStoryBob@lemmy.world 7 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

because I do not trust big tech.

Dude, same. I mean, I get that's why many are here, but it's just gotten so much worse lately.

Starting to build my first Linux machine to use as my daily driver laptop. Been meaning to get into it all for years, but Microsoft's constant shenanigans as of late and everyone on Lemmy really pushed me to take the plunge.

It'll be a "baby's first project" of a used Thinkpad running on Mint, but it's a start to getting out from under these corporate fucks. Every step away is a step to which I'm not planning to return.

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 29 points 19 hours ago

Yeah, I can tell; I've had a sharp uptick in people picking arguments and then sticking their fingers in their ears.

Hard to believe how many of us there actually are, yet social media has conditioned us into believing a website is dead unless it has 50 million daily visitors.

We certainly aren't hurting for content (well, yes, we are, but the archive is being built as we speak.)
