A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Everyone needs to realise it doesnt matter. Enough people already came to lemmy for us to carry on without reddit. Now we just do the normal long haul work - help users who need help so people start searching lemmy for tech solutions, post our normal content here so there is a reason to stay, upvote and comment others work so there is engagement. The rest will follow as this grows and grows. We have already won. Lemmy is no longer a fringe interest.
I feel the same way. Critical mass has already been reached
I feel like another critical change happened, and that is that Reddit's users views of themselves changed. The idea that we are giving Reddit free content and labor so they can profit from it is spreading around.
An ugly underlayer has been laid bare and many are finding they don't really like it.
For a moment, I misread this as "tech positions" and got excited about a job board on here.
Community idea: we develop a fake company that we all "work" at so that we can vouch for each other and use our "experience" on our resumes.
Lemmings re-discover ancient multibillion dollar corporate CEO secret strategies
Or just list it as volunteer work...
I'll be your reference if you'll be mine.
Lemmy is a “ground floor” for the next random tidbits of knowledge aggregator. And I don’t mean that as Lemmy is new, but rather it’d the next port-of-call and mature enough to be engaging while not being entrenched in decades’ old procedures.
I’m excited. I logged off Reddit when Christian shuttered Apollo, signed up on Beehaw and never looked back.
Yeah I agree that enough attention has been placed on Lemmy for it to pop in Redditors heads when they start thinking of other sites to go to. It won't happen overnight but that'll also give the Lemmy devs time to apply some fixes and add new features.
Agreed, I have moved on. Lemmy is at the place now that it feels more like what the Internet should be. It feels more personal and tight knit. By the end with reddit, I felt so much like a tiny fish in a gigantic pond that it felt completely pointless to comment on anything.
Im nkt here to hunger strike from reddit until i get hungry. Im willing to hunger strike till i die. Fortunatly lemmy seems to be a source of nourishment but ive made my decision.
Hell yeah. Quality content is what Lemmy needs right now, the rest will follow
