In other news, Sync is coming to Lemmy.
I joined in the last few days. Seems like this site has much better content. Less bots and reposts. Plus, the user base seems a lot more intelligent in general at this point.
This is my first post on Lemmy and I just want to say that I'm so happy to be here guys. Finally my dream of seeing a decentralized social media platform gaining unprecedented traction is coming true.
Oh man, I hope this server can maintain. Support if you can. There is no CEO but there is a server admin who has to pay for us to be on it. No centralization means its up to us to keep it going. I don't know the history of lemmy world and I'd hate to see it go because it was too expensive for it's popularity. Something to think about.
I just joined lemmy and this is the first social media service where I could grab my short username instead of a longer one no one uses I'm very glad
You could always host your own instance and be the only user with your special user and connect to other instances' communities.
I typed my old Reddit username in at first then said “wait a minute…”, somehow nobody took my simple first name in the first several hundred thousand accounts created!
Hi there!
that's pretty cool
Hi all, here from Apollo.
I'm glad I caught this username
I'm really not sure these are spam bots. I suspect it's actually mostly people playing with the exploit that was recently posted on their personal instance. Definitely still bots though.
Honestly the only thing missing now is a good app for iOS. However I’ve been using the mobile browser version and it works just fine. I hope Apollo’s dev sees an opportunity here and goes for it.
How are you using the browser version? I just can't browse /all without having a new post pushing down the feed every 5 seconds I find it unusable.
The good news is that bots seem to be joining particular instances made for them. This will make preventing them from ruining the fediverse easy, just defederate from instances like k6qw.
If they start joining instances such as this one, then that is its own issue, but each instance can solve it to their own needs. I'm not too worried about bots on Lemmy at all really.
Love to see it.
