That's really awesome. The old.lemmy.ca looks surprisingly like old that-other-place.
Do people value me posting this each time we upgrade?
Absolutely yes!
TIL the Technology Connections guy is on Lemmy via Mastadon.
And that's awesome!
They didn't switch sides. They created a third side. A Mêlée à Trois.
I just noticed we were at 0.18! Nice work @smorks! Now to take this thing for a spin and see how it handles on the curves!
Edit: I just looked at those Release Notes. That's an impressive list of bug fixes and improvements! And also a very impressive list of new contributors helping develop this software. Kudos to all of them!
I'm a bit skeptical of 23k real new accounts in the last hour. If true, it's quite something. But, it could be bots, it could be some bug inflating the numbers, it could be somebody taking advantage of the account creation bug someone mentioned earlier.
We'll see.
I don’t have any fancy graphs to show the community’s growth

Glad I could help with my elite graphing skills!
Anyways, what do you all think about the Lemmy website?
One of the cool things about Lemmy is that it isn't one website. It's dozens or even hundreds now. Each instance is its own website and some number of them have some interesting tweaks in the look and feel of their page.
Yeah, but they forgot about the poll question "Do you live in an urban or rural environment?" For that one it appears urban and rural Canadians are 100% divided.
It's a bug that's supposed to be getting fixed in 0.18. They're switching from websockets to HTML I believe, and then it'll only add the new stuff with a page refresh.
Yeah, it's really annoying as it stands.
Yup, but that's okay. I'm hoping the number of users on all of the federated Lemmy servers will be small enough to keep the community feel and the content relevant, but large enough to ensure there's decent content and engagement.
Absolutely. It's a timeless masterpiece in my opinion.
