I have been thinking of starting my own Arabic instance since Lemmy has Arabic support. I am just not prepared for such a project.

I send Lemmy some money every month. Not a lot but what I can. I'm also learning Rust and once I get confident I'll contribute. I like Lemmy and the fediverse in general.

If the fediverse sucks so much, why are Meta and WordPress and Mozilla making efforts to join it, hm?

Replacing "Lemmy" with "Fedderverse" would behoove you, OP. Sincerely, A Kbin user.

lemmy rules. i wish there were less memes and porn on the front page, and/or that the front page refreshed quicker and with more variety. but in recent months it's been bug free for me. and what's huge is that i actually feel good posting here. i'm not giving my effort to a shitty shitty corporate hellhole, it's doing some small part to expand the fediverse.

For me Lemmy provides a value proposition that reddit does not: consent.

I am surprised reddit hasn't removed this post yet.

I got an account banned for saying "lemmy dot world" when someone asked "Are there even any good alternatives?"

Lemmy I think is in a good place since it's still fairly new. It took a while before Reddit had critical mass and I'd say that happened when Reddit started "solving" crimes and then making the news because of it. The "We did it Reddit!". I think that's when people really started to show up. On here, there's not a constant flood, which can be a good thing. When you reply, you're not buried by thousands of other posts. On Reddit it felt like, if you didn't get in early, chances are no one really saw what you posted. Honestly, I've had better engagement here than I did on Reddit, both in views and quality of replies.

Only time I end up on Reddit, is when I'm searching something and a post from 2-3 years ago pops up. But I haven't logged into Reddit or actually engaged with anything new since the exodus. The date of this account was the last day I officially used Reddit.

I’m concerned with the amount of bugs cropping up between major updates. I looked at the repo and they have no unit tests. Eventually people will get fed up with the amount of bugs appearing.

I do my best to tell about Lemmy and explain what the Fediverse is with my surroundings. Lots of people don't even know about the existence of Lemmy/Kbin or the Fediverse yet. I try not to be pushy like a Arch Linux user but overall I'm doing my part !
