Well, whew! As a result of Reddit's recent spark of genius, the number of users looking for a new home has been growing at quite a brisk pace. In the last 12 hours, over 30 new membership applications were received. This has never happened before in Sopuli's short history. It's a bit like what happened to Mastodon when Twitter had its own spark of genius. I'm surprised and also excited.

Anyway, welcome to new users! Feel free to check out Sopuli and Lemmy in general. If you have any questions, you should first check FAQ if the question has already been answered. A list of communities, both on Sopuli and on other instances, is conveniently displayed in Communities and here. If you are planning to create a new community for a topic, you should check there to see if one has already been created and if the topic is fitting for it.


No huh huh! Redditin viimeaikaisten neronleimauksien seurauksena uutta kotia etsiviä käyttäjiä on tullut varsin reippaalla tahdilla. Viimeisen 12 tunnin aikana tuli yli 30 uutta käyttäjähakemusta. Tällaista ei ole Sopulin lyhyen historian aikana tapahtunut aiemmin. Tämä on vähän sama asia kuin mitä vuorostaan Mastodonille kävi Twitterin neronleimausten takia. Olen yllättynyt ja myös innostunut.

Joka tapauksessa, tervetuloa uusille käyttäjille! Tutustukaa Sopuliin ja Lemmyyn ylipäänsä vapaasti. Jos on kysyttävää, kannattaa ensiksi katsoa UKK:sta, jos kysymykseen on jo vastattu. Listan yhteisöistä sekä Sopulissa että muilla instansseilla näkee kätevästi Yhteisöt-näkymän kautta ja täältä. Mikäli aikoo perustaa uuden yhteisön jollekin aiheelle, kannattaa katsoa, onko sellainen jo perustettu ja sopiiko aihe siihen.

Moro kaikille / Hi everyone!

I just created Lemmy's first (as far as I can tell) Black metal community. If you want to join please head over to !black_metal@sopuli.xyz and post something! Let's get the ball rolling on here as well!

@QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz laitathan viestii jos voi auttaa. Tiedän, ettet pyytänyt lahjoituksia mutta tää sun yhteisö kasvaa nopeasti. Kaikenlaisesta tuesta voidaan keskustella.

[–] Aninjanameddaryll@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 years ago

Holy crap! The jerboa update fixed linking!

[–] Grimmnir@sopuli.xyz 10 points 2 years ago

First time on a Lemmy instance, and I though Sopuli looked inviting. I appreciate you taking me, and some of my fellow supporters of the Reddit blackout, in during these dark days. So far, enjoying my time here and learning about Lemmy and federated services! I hope I can learn to do more than lurk.

Especially when a mass migration is happening (that is also included me)

Welcome, Tervetuloa!

Signup approval waiting sucks, but we will approve them within 24h!

About Sopuli

Sopuli and other Lemmy servers like beehaw.org offer an alternative to link aggregation social media sites like Reddit (which is no doubt the reason for this influx of new users). All these servers communicate together, so it doesn't actually matter which of them you register at as long as the rules and admins suit you. You can post to beehaw communities from Sopuli and vice versa.

More detailed info will be compiled in the FAQ.

What is Lemmy?

Lemmy is the software that powers the websites.

Why Sopuli/Lemmy instead of the other Reddit alternatives?

With Lemmy, you can choose your administrator or choose to administrate yourself, and still be connected to the same overall network. An inherent benefit for this is that no one corporation, entity or person can own the network and you will not be under the whims of one corporate leadership.

Dear ex-friends of creddit

… used riddit only occasionally but I am glad to be here, or anywhere on the fediverse …

Thank you admins for your kind efforts. … like all fish, so was keen to join anything with fins

FIN

[–] MRPP@sopuli.xyz 8 points 2 years ago

Helouu.

Another reddfugee here. It's a real reddit moment ouy there, internet history in the making. I'm happy to be here, thanks for a quick accept.

[–] timkenhan@sopuli.xyz 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I guess I should post in here to express my gratitude!

Thank you for running this thing, and more importantly for having us :')

Also, what is it like living in Finland?

[–] QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Oh thank you!

Also, what is it like living in Finland?

At least it's warm and sunny right now.

[–] Thisfox@sopuli.xyz 8 points 2 years ago

Thankyou for taking in so many Reddit refugees.

[–] halfpipe@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Migrant from reddit. Hopefully I can doom scroll through this just as easily.

[–] Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

There should be a community specifically for c/doomscrolling. When ever you find scary or depressing news articles online, you can just dump those links into that place. Basically the polar opposite to what r/upliftingNews used to be.

[–] Tetreo@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

Basically r/collapse

[–] syntaxerror@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 years ago

Another refugee here, Greetings all!

[–] MysticalPumpkin@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 years ago

8 year reddit user here looking for a new home. Thank you for letting me join.

[–] Kuski87@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 years ago

Thanks for letting me in! Reddit is going down the drain right now...

[–] 0101010001110100@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 years ago

Hope this is ok to post here.

I've created two communities as a replacement for r/collapse and related subs:
Climate Crisis, Biosphere & Societal Collapse - Collapse-related news & discussion
and
Faster Than Expected - Collapse-related memes and other stuff

Please come join and add to the discourse!

[–] TiredTarsier@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hello and thank you for new home! This seems to be a rather nice place without too many zero effort posts/ comments so far, and people are nice to each other. I really look forward to contribute to communities in here.

There is just one thing I wonder while getting to know this platform and were peeking the create communities page: why would someone want to make a community with setting "Only moderators can post to this community"? For announcements? FAQ did not have an answer.

Jos tänne päätyy muita uusia suomalaisia käyttäjiä pyörimään niin oletan, että osaavat sen verran englantia ymmärtääkseen kysymyksen :-D Ajattelin, että jos joku muukin pohtii samaa niin saapi kenties tiedon ja englanti tavoittaa useammat.

[–] QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

“Only moderators can post to this community”? For announcements? FAQ did not have an answer.

Sellainen yhteisö voidaan luoda vaikka tiedotusta tai jotain muuta erityistarkoitusta varten. Tämä tulee ainakin mieleen.

[–] TiredTarsier@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 years ago

Hui, olipas nopea vastaus! Kiitos :-)

[–] perso@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 years ago

Hello! Did my part and moved here from Reddit. Interesting to see what the future holds for Reddit.

[–] BlastAttak@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hey everybody, another Reddit refugee here! Thanks for the welcome.

Miten me voidaan tukea tätä toimintaa täällä?

[–] QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 years ago

Tämä kysymys on ollut ilmassa jo jonkin aikaa, ja vastauksena tein juuri Patreon-tilin tukemista varten.

[–] ChiliThief@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 years ago

Thank you for this community! I am a long time redditor and quite sad that it all turned the way it did in Reddit. At the same time I am grateful that there is this community. I am looking forward spending my time here.

[–] finder@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 years ago

Hyvin pärähti taas Spezillä vaihteeksi.

[–] stck@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Onko täällä jotain erityisesti suomeksi jubailevaa paikkaa?

[–] QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] stck@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 years ago

noniin, kyllähän tämä tästä! ja teinpä !tampere@sopuli.xyz myös

[–] Zer0Rank@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

One question for the admin; I see an instance hasn't been federated with sopuli (it's not blocked either), what should be done to be able to subscribe to the unfederated instance communities? I just get community_not_found error when trying to access the community URL via sopuli.xyz. Search doesn't find it either.

Yet another recent Lemmy-grant from Reddit. Thanks for the welcome!

Thanks for the approval! I'm hoping to overcome my lurking ways and make a contribution in this community.

[–] Klanky@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 years ago (6 children)

Anyone else having issues with the sign up page? A friend of mine is trying to sign up to sopuli but after they enter their details and click ‘sign up’ it just spins endlessly. I’m assuming it’s because a lot of people are trying to sign up now?

Thanks for providing this place for people. Im hopping this can become my new front page!

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I'm here to check things out. I'm terribly sad that 3rd party app Boost for Reddit might become defunct.

Hoping I can learn & like fediverse/Lemmy.

[–] naeap@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

AFAIK there are some plans/considerations, at least for some of the 3rd apps, to migrate to/support Lemmy. so maybe in the near future you can have Boost for Lemmy - at least one can dream...

although, I must say, Jerboa is a bit buggy in some parts and could use some mir features, but I think, it already has a very good and useable base

Kiitos pääsystä ryhmään ja muut boomerjutut. Tulin vaan testaamaan miten tämä toimii.

[–] Lobemanet@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 years ago

Hello! New around here also 😊

[–] Squimble@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

Hello world! Thought I'd say hello, and thanks for a great alternative to Reddit. Pleased to see the fedeverse show some promise. Feels like the old internet so far...

[–] DivergentHarmonics@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

YesYes! I guess the finnish way suits me more than the beehive way. I have been on Lemmy for two days, following with much sleeplessness this playground -- it's like children unpacking the big christmas packet, with awe.

If there is anyone here who has a little bit of knowledge about github/coding/layout, to help with some changes to make the sign-up process go more smoothly, please go ahead! Here are some suggestions that were made in the temporary server overload thread yesterday:
https://lemmy.ml/comment/457578
https://lemmy.ml/comment/82311 (a more explanatory subheader is already in the works, hope they see that it apparently needs to be done via the translation tool)
https://lemmy.ml/comment/450975

So, let's hope this doesn't go downhill with the expected influx!
