Everything about Lemmy; bugs, gripes, praises, and advocacy.
For discussion about the lemmy.ml instance, go to !meta@lemmy.ml.
is there some kind of status page to have a look at and see how things are going? I cannot make any comments to a specific community at the moment and wondering why.
EDIT: Figured it out, when I tried to leave a comment via Jerboa I got an error "Language not allowed" and so I selected a language on the desktop site and then my comment went through. Note that this error does not appear on desktop site so I had no idea what was going on and why my comment was not going through
@nutomic@lemmy.ml It might be a good idea to default the Communities page to All instead of Local, to help push users into discovering other instances and promote them.
Sorry for contributing towards this by registering but I'm very appreciative of the work being done to facilitate this community. I hope to see Lemmy grow with the negative direction other platforms are taking.
Users are likely going to see this as it's the "official" Lemmy instance when trying to join for the first time.
Any admins of instances that are accepting people, give your best elevator pitch!
No. I don't think I will.

I tried like 4 or 5 instances before coming to lemmy.ml, but none of them were taking applications anymore. Finding even those was a hassle, since all I got was a list of domains without any details as to what the instance is about or if they allowed newcomers.
Now that I've setup everything, Lemmy does seem like nice alternative to Reddit, but as someone from the outside, all of this is daunting.
It also avoids centralization. sopuli.xyz has a list of alternate communities to the ones on lemmy.ml.
I guess it’s good news that a lot of people are migrating from other sites like me
Another thing:
We do need more site admins to help us handle the applications and moderation.
For obvious reasons, we prefer ppl who have been here for a long time, and post / comment consistently. If you'd like to help us out, so that nutomic and I can focus on coding, that would be splendid.
I use kbin too.
New to this feedverse or how you call it.
Why isn't there one login that can post on all platforms and I have to signup on each separately?
If there is, you're not making it obvious I guess.
Saldy it's very common to have this influx towards the "main server" as people that are not used to the federated aspect come to the platform.
Either way, it would be interesting to collect this information and later post some metrics about the exodus from Reddit, kind of like how Fosstodon and other Mastodon instances did when Twitter had their issues.
