The growth is insane, fediverse is coming!
I've been on Lemmy since last Monday (like 10 days). It's meteoric!
Back then, simply posting ANYTHING automatically meant you made the front page.
I think it's possible to belong to more than one form of social media, it isn't an either/or situation. Also it's way too early to project how any of this is going to end, it reminds me of the early days of the internet in miniature as people scrambled around trying new things. I say throw everything at the wall and lets see what sticks and if beehaw makes people happy and gives people that don't feel safe other places somewhere that they can be online I think it's great. Not everything is for everyone and that's OK, if we all liked the same thing vanilla would be the only ice cream flavor.
Love to see it.
Unfortunately most of the communities I'm interested in are ghost towns
Give it sometimes and post yourself
Fuck you Spez, most may be bots right now but those bad boys will eventually become real users.
I joined in the last few days. Seems like this site has much better content. Less bots and reposts. Plus, the user base seems a lot more intelligent in general at this point.
Wow, amazing to see and experience the community grow and become so active. I love it! :D
Does this include people like me creating sign ups for different feds? I have lemmy.world and kbin atm, but may try others.
Honestly the only thing missing now is a good app for iOS. However I’ve been using the mobile browser version and it works just fine. I hope Apollo’s dev sees an opportunity here and goes for it.
There's a couple iOS apps in development right now (Mlem and Memmy). Can't wait for them to hit the app store.
Having trouble replying directly to your comment, but yeah, agreed with your points. I’m posting mostly for record keeping. The lemmy instance with the most accounts seems to be a bot farm with no activity (yet) whatsoever. Ridiculous.
The good news is that bots seem to be joining particular instances made for them. This will make preventing them from ruining the fediverse easy, just defederate from instances like k6qw.
If they start joining instances such as this one, then that is its own issue, but each instance can solve it to their own needs. I'm not too worried about bots on Lemmy at all really.
