Thank you so much! Recent events on Reddit have compelled me to explore alternative platforms, and I'm genuinely intrigued by the outcome. Will Reddit meet its demise? Will Lemmy flourish? It's incredibly fascinating to see what lies ahead. Additionally, I'd like to inquire about donating to your cause. How I can contribute to this Lemmy instance or support your efforts?

First post as a Apollo refugee looking to find a new home, thanks for the image explaining lemmy!

Infrastructure as Code, ‘eh? So, as a DevOps guy, I gotta ask… Terraform, Pulumi or CloudFormation? Something else?

Nice work thanks for the effort

Still trying to wrap my head around Lemmy, but I appreciate the server!

I would like to donate a few bucks to cover my future cost of using this (instance? Sorry, yet another new refugee learning the site.)

Are there any verified cryptocurrency wallets where I can send a donation? (Don't post your random personal wallet address, I'm not that dumb :p haha)

Prefer to use litecoin but I have bitcoin too.

If not, I can do the CC thing, but this is a perfect example of where crypto is 5x easier and faster on my end.

Truly appreciate you setting this up. I do have a question and readily admit I have not looked elsewhere, but, since you may be offering to answer: could I set up a "private" instance for me and a few friends that closes registration but is open to the rest of the fediverse? I assume so since a lot of the main sites seem to be slowing registration down but I am just curious how it all works. Would be a fun experiment for me.

Also, how difficult is it to manage from a sysadmin point of view?

Another Reddit refugee here, hello world!

Honest question, no snark. I'm new on this instance and I get that growing pains are happening. But okay, wth has this post been stuck on the top of every sort-view I choose (new, new-comments, most-active-comments, etc) for the past 48 hours? Is this instance-specific or is this protocol-wide? Something else?

Thanks!

I'm a Reddit NCD refugee, but I'm also a Twitter retreater. So I'm already aware of how the fediverse works through the Mastodon instances Mastodon.social and nafo.uk.

I like Lemmy. More options when commenting. I also like the properly functioning search bar. Mastodon really needs to improve that experience, because I still can't find specific toots from another server. It's either creating a new account or scrolling going to the site and then in the instance I'm logged in to then search for the right account to then manually scroll all the way to the right comment.

I'm personally not such a great fan of putting a website up into the cloud, because when the cloud becomes arrogant, they've the power to cancel websites like these. It never can hurt to have a local backup. Preferably encrypted to prevent people getting access to sensitive personal data like what happened with the anarchists hackers at kolektiva dot social. This was potentially damaging to the entire fediverse for all the accounts having a kolektiva accounts commenting here or vice versa.

I didn't save my lemmy.world account on my password manager, and wiped my browser's cookies. Thank you for setting up this planet.

Thank you for setting this up. Reddit refugee and looking to stick with Lemmy for now on. This gives me the great Digg migration vibes :)

Welp, here's my first Lemmy post. With the way the federation thing is going right now, it kinda feels like the old days of creating a new social media account every few months, never knowing which was going to be the one to stick (RIP Friendster). I like this site's stated desire to be around long term. Fingers crossed!

Hi!

I created an account here after struggling for weeks on .world. I sincerely hope they can figure out all the issues because I still consider there my "home" for now ;)
