Well, whew! As a result of Reddit's recent spark of genius, the number of users looking for a new home has been growing at quite a brisk pace. In the last 12 hours, over 30 new membership applications were received. This has never happened before in Sopuli's short history. It's a bit like what happened to Mastodon when Twitter had its own spark of genius. I'm surprised and also excited.

Anyway, welcome to new users! Feel free to check out Sopuli and Lemmy in general. If you have any questions, you should first check FAQ if the question has already been answered. A list of communities, both on Sopuli and on other instances, is conveniently displayed in Communities and here. If you are planning to create a new community for a topic, you should check there to see if one has already been created and if the topic is fitting for it.


No huh huh! Redditin viimeaikaisten neronleimauksien seurauksena uutta kotia etsiviä käyttäjiä on tullut varsin reippaalla tahdilla. Viimeisen 12 tunnin aikana tuli yli 30 uutta käyttäjähakemusta. Tällaista ei ole Sopulin lyhyen historian aikana tapahtunut aiemmin. Tämä on vähän sama asia kuin mitä vuorostaan Mastodonille kävi Twitterin neronleimausten takia. Olen yllättynyt ja myös innostunut.

Joka tapauksessa, tervetuloa uusille käyttäjille! Tutustukaa Sopuliin ja Lemmyyn ylipäänsä vapaasti. Jos on kysyttävää, kannattaa ensiksi katsoa UKK:sta, jos kysymykseen on jo vastattu. Listan yhteisöistä sekä Sopulissa että muilla instansseilla näkee kätevästi Yhteisöt-näkymän kautta ja täältä. Mikäli aikoo perustaa uuden yhteisön jollekin aiheelle, kannattaa katsoa, onko sellainen jo perustettu ja sopiiko aihe siihen.

8 year reddit user here looking for a new home. Thank you for letting me join.

[-] Thisfox@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 year ago

Thankyou for taking in so many Reddit refugees.

[-] Kuski87@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 year ago

Thanks for letting me in! Reddit is going down the drain right now...

[-] Ninmi@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Welcome, Tervetuloa!

Signup approval waiting sucks, but we will approve them within 24h!

About Sopuli

Sopuli and other Lemmy servers like beehaw.org offer an alternative to link aggregation social media sites like Reddit (which is no doubt the reason for this influx of new users). All these servers communicate together, so it doesn't actually matter which of them you register at as long as the rules and admins suit you. You can post to beehaw communities from Sopuli and vice versa.

More detailed info will be compiled in the FAQ.

What is Lemmy?

Lemmy is the software that powers the websites.

Why Sopuli/Lemmy instead of the other Reddit alternatives?

With Lemmy, you can choose your administrator or choose to administrate yourself, and still be connected to the same overall network. An inherent benefit for this is that no one corporation, entity or person can own the network and you will not be under the whims of one corporate leadership.

Thank you for allowing me to participate in the greater community from this instance. I'd be interested to help pay for server costs since I know they're not free. The forum is dead, long live the forum!

Kiitos, että sallit minun osallistua suurempaan yhteisöön tästä instanssista. Olisin kiinnostunut auttamaan palvelinkustannuksissa, koska tiedän, että ne eivät ole ilmaisia. Foorumi on kuollut, eläköön foorumi!

[-] Nowyn@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Sopulin Patreon löytyy täältä!

[-] Atzadio@sopuli.xyz 0 points 1 year ago

I was approved in less than 30 minutes, thanks for the speedy process 😋

[-] Ninmi@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago
[-] reksas@sopuli.xyz 0 points 1 year ago

Please dont refresh spam on websites. When multiple users are doing that its effectively a ddos attack.

[-] Ninmi@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

You either take my wording too seriously or you didn't realize I'm talking about the administrator's sign up application page (which only me an QuentinCallaghan have access to anyway). Or both. Don't worry, the more we refresh, the faster you guys get in :).

[-] ChiliThief@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 year ago

Thank you for this community! I am a long time redditor and quite sad that it all turned the way it did in Reddit. At the same time I am grateful that there is this community. I am looking forward spending my time here.

[-] Zer0Rank@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

One question for the admin; I see an instance hasn't been federated with sopuli (it's not blocked either), what should be done to be able to subscribe to the unfederated instance communities? I just get community_not_found error when trying to access the community URL via sopuli.xyz. Search doesn't find it either.

[-] Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

I’ve been seeing this a lot when looking for interesting communities. Is there a reason why certain instances aren’t federated?

[-] LogicalDrivel@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

Thanks for providing this place for people. Im hopping this can become my new front page!

[-] Vitaly_Chernobyl@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

Thanks for the approval! I'm hoping to overcome my lurking ways and make a contribution in this community.

[-] NukeminHerttua@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Aattelin vaan tulla sanoo Moro!

[-] QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago
[-] Zucca@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Moro.

Käyttäjänimesi on parasta internetissä pitkiin aikoihin.

[-] NukeminHerttua@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 year ago

Se ei ole vielä hirveän paljon, mutta kiitos 😅

Nimi tosin on varastettu. Poimin sen yhdestä 1990-luvun lopulla julkaistusta peliväkivaltaa käsitelleestä artikkelista, jossa noheva toimittaja kertoi Nukemin Herttua -pelin aiheuttamasta kohusta 💪🏾

[-] avrgsysadmin@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

Very happy to be here.

[-] 0101010001110100@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Thank you for approving me! I'm a refugee from reddit is fun.

[-] vtomyvsya@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks for the approval! I'm excited to be a part of lemmy

[-] Dioxid3@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Miten me voidaan tukea tätä toimintaa täällä?

[-] QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

Tämä kysymys on ollut ilmassa jo jonkin aikaa, ja vastauksena tein juuri Patreon-tilin tukemista varten.

[-] Squimble@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Hello world! Thought I'd say hello, and thanks for a great alternative to Reddit. Pleased to see the fedeverse show some promise. Feels like the old internet so far...

[-] ninpnin@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

Kiitos! Moi kaikille!

[-] DivergentHarmonics@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

YesYes! I guess the finnish way suits me more than the beehive way. I have been on Lemmy for two days, following with much sleeplessness this playground -- it's like children unpacking the big christmas packet, with awe.

If there is anyone here who has a little bit of knowledge about github/coding/layout, to help with some changes to make the sign-up process go more smoothly, please go ahead! Here are some suggestions that were made in the temporary server overload thread yesterday:
https://lemmy.ml/comment/457578
https://lemmy.ml/comment/82311 (a more explanatory subheader is already in the works, hope they see that it apparently needs to be done via the translation tool)
https://lemmy.ml/comment/450975

So, let's hope this doesn't go downhill with the expected influx!

[-] MedicPigBabySaver@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

I'm here to check things out. I'm terribly sad that 3rd party app Boost for Reddit might become defunct.

Hoping I can learn & like fediverse/Lemmy.

[-] restingboredface@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

I feel your pain- I'm still holding out hope for a Boost for Lemmy, but not sure that's realistic any time soon. The r/boostforreddit sub was pushing for that but after the past few weeks I wouldnt blame the devs for taking a break.

[-] MedicPigBabySaver@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

He's a one man show. I'm sure he has better things to do than deal with the Reddit headache.

[-] Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

Well, now I’m ready for the inevitable implosion of Reddit. Glad to be here.

[-] Aninjanameddaryll@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks for welcoming the reddit refugees. I really hope we don't mess up what previous lemmy users enjoyed about lemmy

[-] mapu@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

Nice to see folks here. Just joined and have been slowly moving my social internet away from the corporate controlled interests. Mastodon has been a breath of fresh air and am optimistic that Lemmy will be too.

[-] harmonicarichard@sopuli.xyz 0 points 1 year ago

We are in interesting times, im my opinion. They're interesting because we went from GAFA being suprememe, to the fediverse and threadiverse, to a multiheaded hydra (in the positive sense) where you join instances, that are "local" communities, that can encompass, or block other instances. We go from the monopolies of Meta, Twitter and Reddit, to the threadiverse and Fediverse. I think there is a difference between the two. Social networks are communities, and communities are migratory. Twitter and reddit forget this little detail. They're encouraging their "competition" to thrive. They're sabotaging their own stickiness by over-charging for API use, especially since devoted redittors can already pay 49CHF per year. To pay even more for a third party app is punishing the very people that already "invested" real cash.

[-] stck@sopuli.xyz 0 points 1 year ago

Onko täällä jotain erityisesti suomeksi jubailevaa paikkaa?

[-] halfpipe@sopuli.xyz 0 points 1 year ago

Migrant from reddit. Hopefully I can doom scroll through this just as easily.

[-] Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

There should be a community specifically for c/doomscrolling. When ever you find scary or depressing news articles online, you can just dump those links into that place. Basically the polar opposite to what r/upliftingNews used to be.

[-] Tetreo@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

Basically r/collapse

[-] Orhnry@sopuli.xyz 0 points 1 year ago

Coming in from Sync. Sad to see my favorite app die. Hope we can grow this place as big someday.

[-] struds@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

The developer has said he's considering porting. So massive fingers crossed.
