For those who are unaware, lemmy and kbin to a lesser extent are in the early stages of a rapid growth in users, similar to the one Mastodon experienced in November last year.
In a move similar to Twitter, Reddit has all but confirmed that 3rd party apps will be locked out with their new API pricing, effectively forcing people to use the official app or nothing.
That has driven a lot of people to look for alternatives. I expect the wave in new users will ebb, but it will surge back again even larger once the 3rd party reddit apps are officially unusable.
Reddit is undergoing enshittification, so I've set a course straight for the fediverse. I'm moving to Lemmy for most of my reddit-related posting, so nothing changes here, but I wanted to give lemmy a shoutout nonetheless #lemmy#reddit#fediverse
I'm hosting and running a Lemmy just for myself, and am having no problem with it. Lemmy is great. But I'm looking to branch out, and see what else exists out there.
Can anyone tell me how to follow a #Lemmy instance like Lemmy.ml from within #IceCubesApp ? Can you post/comment from a Mast account without a Lemmy account?
I need to stop giving Reddit any views and clicks.
Sure, I primarily use #Mastodon [albeit not the mastodon dot social instance or anything like it], but I still love things like #pixelfed and #lemmy quite a lot.
If you like the more concise and peaceful conversations this side of the web, you should ABSOLUTELY give these other options a look! #fediverse#feditips#fedi23
Learned a cool thing about the interaction between #Lemmy and Mastodon. You can follow a Lemmy community on Mastodon and reply to posts and comments with your Mastodon account. Other replies in the community also get boosted by the community account.
I'm trying to move as much of my online activity as possible to the #Fediverse, mostly because the internet sucks now, but also because I'm excited at the idea of users forming communities and sites of resistance on their own terms, free of capitalist meddling and surveillance. #enshittification#redditapi
With all of these #reddit down fall news someone should startup a proper #lemmy instance.
Browsing around the instance list is the saddest thing I've witnessed on Fediverse. The #1 instance is literally discussing how to bring the Soviet Union back lol
Perhaps ironically, I’ve been enjoying interacting with #Lemmy communities and posts just using my Mastodon account via my instance’s default web app. It of course doesn’t offer the full range of options a native Lemmy app would, but it lets me engage using the account and apps I’m already familiar with.
The @privacyguides subreddit is dipping their toes into the fediverse now that reddit is going to shit. They are now hosting a @LemmyDev instance on https://lemmy.one/ so I decided to join it.
Lemmy is a federated alternative to reddit so it would work similarly in that you can follow other subs even on different websites. (even on mastodon maybe: @privacyguides)
You can comment on posts just using your mastodon account at the very least: https://lemmy.one/c/privacyguides
The instance has restricted creation new subs but they are open to letting other open up if you want to join: https://lemmy.one/post/41
Looking for an entry to the Fediverse that's made for a single user. Preferably Reddit/Lemmy-like.
