⚠️ PSA: Before anyone jumps ship to Lemmy from Reddit, read this:

https://www.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/143o5xd/reconsidering_my_support_for_lemmy/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb

If you still want to join Lemmy (join-lemmy.org) (seems as welcoming as Mastodon has been!), avoid lemmy.ml and lemmygrad as they are official servers ran by the developers. Lemmy.world and lemmy.blahaj.zone seem pretty good!

Alternatively, you could also join Kbin, (kbin.pub) as it can still interact with Lemmy based communities! (Although they call communities magazines and follow the !name format instead of @name)

"Right now I'm considering the possibility of modifying the app to connect to a Reddit alternative such as Lemmy or Mastodon. There would be something very satisfying about some of the bigger Reddit apps driving their userbase to alternative sites too, and if this helped one of those platforms gain traction then that would be a step in the right direction." -RedReader (Reddit client dev) via https://old.reddit.com/r/RedReader/comments/13ylk42/update_3_reddit_effectively_kills_off_third_party/ #fediverse #FediDev #RedditMigration

The growth of our lemmy instance, without any advertising or spruiking. It was spun up as a test more than anything else, but it seems that it has become more than that!

Even though the graph shows the growth spike from April to June, in reality it's even more stark than that. We have gone from 20 users to 100 users in a week!

We'll be spinning up a kbin instance soon too, and when we do, we might shut down registration on the lemmy instance. We'll keep them up for now though, given the load on lemmy.ml from reddit migrations

OC To anyone who came from Reddit...

...we welcome you TTaF fans to the Fediverse. As Reddit self-destructs, we encourage you to move here and subscribe to this magazine/subreddit....

Hi there👋 What I've learnt in a year so far about #Fediverse. Condensed to help others.

1st understanding.
We make friends across multiple Fedi platforms at once.

Imagine if instagram, tiktok, facebook, twitter, youtube all connected & run by users to help users, not wall us apart & annoy us, for ad profits.
