It's all good I'm still mostly getting 1 upvote, similar to reddit

He was moved by the speech Obama gave for him.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

Oh wow, of course, duh. It was so obviously obvious.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's seems that my audience was also mostly just one person... That person is dedicated though.

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!

I'm grateful to see open source softwares blow up online

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 years ago

Yes, I'm very proud of the Reddit community for several times over the years mass-recommending open source and federated options.

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.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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!

"I'm doing my part!" is probably the most used meme on Lemmy

My first comment was the most upvoted comment on a subreddit. I got 19 upvoted.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Maybe it’s just me but Mastodon seems still way friendlier than Twitter, I guess partly to do with the people but also the platform structure that seems to have less incentive to attack people. Hope it’s the same for Lemmy.

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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I remember reddit before even subs when it was just a single page for tech news :(

I still can’t get my iOS app to let me comment

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh shit it actually worked, upvotes for all. Sorry for shitting on you mLem!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

Nah its named after Lemmy, but not a fan page haha
