Guys, what are you on about.

It's very clear that Lemmy is dead on arrival.

Redditors told me so.

Don't you see it?

That person is saying it like it's a bad thing that signing up isn't brain-dead.

As a newbie, I hope the software can catch up to the needs quickly.

A nice website for looking for servers, platforms, and user numbers over time is: https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy

Also handy for getting a picture of how many lemmy servers there are and how big they are.

Je trouve ça incroyable, je me suis inscrit ya à peine une semaine et les postes avaient genre 50-100 upvote max et la ça touche les 800. Puis c'est sympa de voir d'avantage de contenu.

Lemmy go brrrrr

I just hope that it will be more distributed than Matrix and not everyone registers on lemmy.ml (matrix.org in case of matrix) so the decentralization works for real here instead of 90% (exaggerating, don't know the numbers) of the user base sitting on one instance :)

Man, I been waiting for this for years. I thought with the way Mastodon grew it'd eventually grow into a wider growth among the fediverse but it seems to happen in fits and starts. Glad to see people are federating too and not all dumping into just the mainline instance.

Next I'd like to see major names move off YouTube and Twitch onto decentralized platforms but that's gonna take much more to get there, unfortunately.

I think honestly Lemmy just needs more mobile clients. Jerboa is ok, but third party clients are needed here like they are/were with reddit

God, site is so SLOW. They need to bring new servers, maybe charge extra for each api call? IDK

Just out of curiosity, where can I find those stats?

[-] zakiuem@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago

Joined Lemmy because of permanent suspension from the Snoosite for harassment, which I clearly didn't commit at that time.

[-] amir_s89@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago

Honestly this platform is welcoming & people are dignified through conversations. Also informative.

[-] swnt@feddit.de 9 points 1 year ago

I'm happy for users to join the federated alternative!

[-] zork@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 year ago

You know, it just occured to me yesterday that there might be a federated version of reddit. Looked it up and I was pleasantly surprised to see it's actually picking up a lot of users. Now if we could see a mobile app as polished as rif is fun, I'll be extremely happy. Move over reddit, let's go lemmy!

Just wondering though, how scalable is lemmy? What kind of hardware/connection would you need to host your own instance?

I'm not new to Lemmy, I've hung around here on and off a couple times since the start of the year. My biggest complaint about it for a long time was that many of the subs I was interested in were just dead or didnt exist on lemmy. With the new influx of users, I imagine that's going to change, even if it does take a couple more years.

The future of Lemmy is looking very promising :)
