It's pretty exciting! I'm really enjoying this new platform. Not filled with ads and the comments feel a lot more genuine.

MODERATORS
There aren't any karma bots yet. No one is making useless comments like "this." The conversations are civil. I'm loving this community!
I think the federated nature of the platform may help to reinforce those positive attributes. Unmoderated instances with low quality content are at risk of being defederated, and as evident by the mod log, the mods do enforce rules on inflammatory and low quality content.
Does lemmy.world have any unfederated instances? I was preferring the freedom of chosing to block communities myself but I started running into some very toxic posts that make me feel like I took a wrong turn and I'm gonna get stabbed in a dark alley lol! I'd rather stick to the friendly, positive and useful posts. I would rather avoid that aspect of Reddit here.
See https://lemmy.world/instances. This information is public; there's a link at the bottom of every page (at least on the desktop view).

It looks like a lot of new communities are popping up on Lemmy world so people might be joining it to post in one of the new communities.
That's why I'm here. This place seems like it has the most consolidated niche communities
Which communities?
There are so many, you'll have to check them out
Oh no. I keep trying to move down to the next level of smaller but well-organised sites that are running smoothly, and they all keep growing like crazy. It's like I'm part of the problem or something.
Watch out feddit.uk, I'm coming for you next! You think that uptime is going to stay at 100%? Pfft.
come on over, we have greggs, we can eat that to pass the downtime if it happens
Haha, there's a tricky calculation to be done there depending on how long they've been out of the oven versus how long the downtime is if you want to avoid being over or under steak-baked.
Their server is YUGE!
in just 2 days this place has exploded with content, its easier to stay away from reddit now.
We did it reddit

So, I'm still seeing a 'pending' status for mine. I signed up on both beehaw and lemmy.world, and I was really hoping to be able to help grow both, but I can't create a community on beehaw, so I'm just sitting here waiting to be approved(?) on lemmy.world to be able to do that. I think. I'm not sure I've got much of this as figured out as everyone else.
A registration doesn't need to be approved here, you just need to verify your e-mail. (Check spam..) If there's any issue with that, mail us at info@lemmy.world so we can assist.

It's crazy, in more or less 5 days as well.
I mean, sure some are probably people making multiple accounts, but based on the speed of new posts showing up Iβd believe there are at least 20k on lemmy.world. Itβs the largest and most stable instance at the moment.
Personally I run my own instance and connect to the communities from there.
Hello π new to fediverse - what are the benefits of running your own and connecting in to these communities, compared to just making an account on an instance that already exists?
I imagine if you run your own, you don't lose access to your account compared to if, say, your account is in lemmy.world and it goes down. Is there more to it?
That's pretty much it for me. There's a lot of complexity in hosting that you don't have to do if you use someone else's instance. There's a risk that their server goes down, but most people who start big servers know what they're doing.
Its also advantageous to join the instance you want to interact most in. Interacting across instances is possible but still a little buggy. It's harder to find communities, and once you do, sometimes posts don't load.
In addition to that,
- I like the challenge of leaning new technologies and hosting my own web apps
- It lets me feel that I have a bit more control over my user and posts
- I get my own vanity domain / user address
- I get a good understanding of how the lemmy frontend, backend and database work (yay open-source!)
- I can keep my instance up to date with the latest lemmy releases (some are still running 0.17.3!)
- I can do some dev work and testing on my instance, if I want, without impacting others
- it reduces load on the main instances
Thereβs more, but I think thatβs a good enough list for now. Have a nice day!
And we have already the highest number of monthly active users!
OVER 19000!
WHAT 19000??? THERES NO WAY THAT CAN BE RIGHT!!!
