- They could really do with better explanation of the federated servers before people sign up. I did do a little research before I knew which instance to use
  
  Well, that's why open source is so powerful - everything can (and, in fact, should) be done by community for community
  Usually developers aren't good writers :)
  
  I still hope it will become easier one day to Docker-host a Lemmy instance where other Docker setup and containers are already present and cannot be changed just for Lemmy.
- ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ take my ~~energy~~ donation
- I just got 500 Internal Server Error

The amount of people has increased, even within the last few days, a bigger community is always better, but I'd like us to keep the same optimistic and appreciative attitudes we all seem to have at the moment, that would really make it so much better than Reddit

That's why I'm here Obi Wan meme
- Check this out!
  
  Can't do that on reddit!
  
  or this
  
  Hello there!

I really don't understand how people can still use reddit with a clean conscience especially after their treatment to Christian and other 3rd party developers. They've made it clear with their words and actions that they don't give a fuck about their users, so how can a respectful person still choose to stay? It was a lost cause since the beginning, the protests were never going to work. I appreciate the ones who've decided to abandon the ship and join us here.
- People are desensitized.
  Most services or products have some toe dipped in shady shit, so people have been forced to learn to reconcile with participating more or less in a least some unethical bullshit, just to have a normal life.
  Want to have a t-shirt? Probably just supported slave labour.
  Want to talk to a friend? Probably just sold you digital soul to a megacorp, and at least two foreign powers.
  
  I get what you're saying and I also completely understand why people have become desensitised but there's nothing more dangerous than an apathetic society.
  We can't end world hunger, but we can atleast feed a poor person. We can't end child labour, but we can atleast sponsor a child's education and basic necessities.
  Just because we can't end it all doesn't mean we shouldn't try and contribute to make our society a better place in whatever way we can.
  
  Your so right. All these things are because of capitalism. If we could tear that down we may get a chance to fix things. But as long as it exists the world will keep getting worse.
  
  Absolutely true, when i saw that there are even people defending Reddit i just had to get rid of it.
  I want to distance myself from this shit or my blood will boil over.
  Cheers to a new home with people doing something against these megacorp practices these days.

- undefined> so how can a respectful person still choose to stay?
  You have to keep in mind that most, maybe majority of people, are just consumers. They don't care about the background stuff going on as long as they can access their favorite source of content. You can say the same thing about Twitter. People won't care until it directly affects them.

I left Reddit weeks ago. Not looking back.
- I do sometimes look back, kind of, but more like watching a train wreck with popcorn than anything

Just got approved this morning. Glad to be here
- Welcome to Lemmy! Have an updoot.

Already here

Yup that's why I'm here lol
- Whoa, joined 3 minutes ago. Welcome to lemmy!

Joined today :)

A lot of people have already left ~~Reddit~~ Fuggit and moved to Fedi as we have seen over the past couple of weeks.
And those who are still sitting there, they are either in a dilemma and unable to make up their minds, or they live under a seriously big rock and have no idea what's going on with this API saga, and the Third Party Apps stopping to work on July 1 will be a nasty surprise for them.
In short, it's unlikely that they will overcome the surprise/dilemma in just a day and jump over to Lemmy immediately.
The Fuggit --> Lemmy migration will continue as it is today, but I don't think there will be a catastrophic spike on July 1.
- And many will just move to oficial app
- I think the apps no longer working will be the impetus for many to actually search up options. They almost certainly know about the API saga, but not necessarily about Lemmy or the fediverse. Until now, many likely held onto hope that this shit would turn around, and they won't have been considering a plan B.
- I have to agree with this. It'd be nice to get another spike like we had last time, but I really doubt it. Sure, people may still come after the 30th, but not like the previous spike we had before.
  
  There may not be as much of a user spike, but I would think there will be a content spike. How much Reddit content is posted using 3rd party apps, and how many of those content creators are going to swap to the official app vs utilizing alternatives such as Lemmy for future postings?
- There is totally content that I miss being over here but it's very much niche small communities that just don't have a real motivation to move or individual content curators that do it for fun and aren't being impacted by the changes.

Tbh I just hope that reddit will fail after 1st of july just so they would finally understand that the community is everything.
- It won't die in a straight line, but this is an inflection point that can help this or another platform mature to the point that it becomes an easier move for the next wave of dissidents.
- Sync for Reddit just went offline so here I am.
  
  RIF has also now fallen
  
  same bro, even anon browsing got shutdown lol

If we keep informing people about them.
wefwef.app is the best rn imo; starting to feel like Apollo already.
I say people should keep pushing Lemmy apps in reddit until at least a week after Sync for Lemmy is out in a few weeks
- I cant get wefwef to work it keeps saying "problem fetching posts"
  
  Go to inbox, then inbox(all). Select your instance and then your login credentials.

Was browsing Sync For Reddit a few minutes ago when it finally shut down. Just got the following notification:
Sync For Reddit has shutdown Thank you for using Sync. It's been one hell of a ride.
Man am I pissed, but I'm happy to be here now.
- If you didn't already know
  https://lemmy.world/c/syncforlemmy
- I'm in the same boat
  
  We're gonna need a bigger boat.
- On the bright side, he's making sync for lemmy now

There were 5500 users 4 day's ago.

You got that right. Transplant in the house.

Seems a good a thread as any for my first post. Exciting times. Reddit showing its true colours might well make the internet just a little bit of a better place if it helps the Fediverse take off.

I'm excited for everyone to see how much better Lemmy is. I'm really happy we have a good option outside of Reddit.
- I'll admit I'm moving from reddit and don't yet understand what lemmy and the fediverse are all about. I'm currently using the Connect for Lemmy app. So far it feels like there's a lot less content here, or I have no idea how to find the popular instances/communities. Another small gripe I have is when I search for a community (eg. gamedev) there's multiple that seem to be about the same thing. I've subscribed to them all and I guess that's just the nature of decentralized communities but it certainly makes the user experience a bit less seamless.
  Does anyone have tips on how to best utilize Lemmy?
- I honestly mind-blowing the way it has come alive in the last few weeks.
- Brand new here, seems a little clunky but I’ll get used to it.
  
  It does take a bit of poking around to learn, but once you get the hang of it things are pretty good. I'm excited for Sync for Lemmy so I have a more familiar app to use.

We are already here.

I'm one of them

- Another happy landing

I mean I'm happy to see more users coming, but I think most of us that will stay have already made the move. we will see.
- I'm not so sure. I think only a minority of people are the type to seek out options before their previous habit actually stops being possible, but I could be wrong.

Just arrived after sync stopped working... seems like a nice place :)
- Welcome! Have an updoot! And yes, in my experience, it is.

Already here foe a few weeks

RIP RIF. Long live Lemmy!

Joke's on you, i jumped ship a couple weeks ago.

Already here. Lol

Looking forward to some reddit app developer with a budget (just not as much of a budget as Reddit dreams of) during stepping in to give a better ui to this thing
- Check out thunder, the lemmy app with the prettiest UI so far, IMO. Also you can change the web UI theme in your user settings. The dark ones are a lot nicer.

And I'm happy to be here, my first comment on Lemmy!
- Welcome!
  I'm giving all new users their firtmst updoot!
- check out wefwef.org for an ios app like experience!
  
  I’m really impressed with it so far. Feels like Apollo.

Already here

Sup.

We here!

I'm one of them (created this account 10 days ago, but had another one from 15 days ago when I finally decided to join Lemmy and wanted to test this, the other one is from an instance which has some blocked instances, so I came to Lemmy.world), I hope Lemmy grows a lot, not to compete with Reddit, but to build a big and diverse community where we don't need anything from Reddit (interesting and informative posts, guides, tutorials, etc for example).

We already here. Surprise shawty!

And we're off!

Hi it's me

I was an editor at a school magazine!

RiF has shutdown, so here I am

I feel like I am reliving my Digg exodus. It wasn’t such a hard cutover, though.

Apollo refugee checking in, currently trying out WefWef.app. I’ve also been trying out Memmy over the past couple of weeks. Not sure which one I’ll end up sticking with yet.

Boost for reddit isn't off yet but it's just a matter of time. Setup this account today and downloaded jerboa. Trying to figure everything out but hopefully this isn't an echo chamber like reddit is.
