It's all good I'm still mostly getting 1 upvote, similar to reddit
You're doing your best and that's OK!
Why was Obama crying?
He was moved by the speech Obama gave for him.
Oh wow, of course, duh. It was so obviously obvious.
It's seems that my audience was also mostly just one person... That person is dedicated though.
That calls for a c/suicidebywords :D
Seeings subreddits namedropped makes me teary-eyed 🥺
~~(I know Reddit is still technically alive, but it’s dead to me now)~~
My account here is 4 years old. I was so excited to learn about Lemmy back then, but the user base was painfully low. I'm getting that same excitement I had back then.
Please new people, make this your permanent home and forget Reddit!
Forgeddit
And the Reddit blackout hasn't even started yet. Gonna be interesting to see what this place looks like a week from now. I'm excited!
I'm definitely considering taking up permanent residence
I'm grateful to see open source softwares blow up online
Yes, I'm very proud of the Reddit community for several times over the years mass-recommending open source and federated options.
It's honestly been amazing to witness, it's still got a ways to go before it's anything like mainstream but still

I miss the old lemmy from a week ago when i signed up haha, feels like it blew up so much.
What do you mean? Lemmy started last week right? /s
Lemmy! THE HOT NEW REDDIT SENSATION CREEPING THE NATION!
REDDIT WHO!?
EXACTLY!
LEMMY'S GOT TECHIES, IT'S GOT TREKKIES, IT'S GOT MASTODON INTEGRATION AND ISN'T OWNED BY A CORPORATE ENTITY, OR ANY GOVERNMENT! RADICAL!
scrap the current https://join-lemmy.org/ we need a screenshot of this comment up there and nothing else NOW
I feel nostalgic in advance for having stumbled on an inside joke that I was almost around early enough to be on the inside of but can nevertheless clearly project myself there.
I joined a year ago and it's crazy, i remember getting excited over 20 upvotes, that AMA and the whole 3rd party fiasco really brought a lot of people here!
My first comment was the most upvoted comment on a subreddit. I got 19 upvoted.
People are just much more supportive and friendlier here. But I guess because we are in a state now before all the assholes join from reddit...
Let's get this to 500!
I think we reached 500 already. To 1000!
Yeah, just passed 600...
y'all better keep that at 20
I still can’t get my iOS app to let me comment
Oh shit it actually worked, upvotes for all. Sorry for shitting on you mLem!
Wait is there a specific Lemmy person? Because I initially though that this site was some Motorhead fan page that evolved into a reddit alternative lol lol. Im so old.
Nah its named after Lemmy, but not a fan page haha
From their Github:
Why's it called Lemmy?
- Lead singer from Motörhead.
- The old school video game.
- The Koopa from Super Mario.
- The furry rodents.
I remember before federation was an implemented feature and there were like 5 instances that couldn't talk with each other. I feel old now.
I remember reddit before even subs when it was just a single page for tech news :(
Go Lemmy!
Hopefully this will increase next week!
