I think we'll see another spike when the third-party apps are actually shut down.

Be prepared to answer so many questions from newcomers.

A general how-to for lemmy pinned to the top would do wonders.

Today’s noobs are tomorrow’s participants and next months’ experts. Take it as a chance to be awesome to one another.

Speaking as a noob trying to see if I can respond from another server... Hi!

I spun up an instance for a friend group, to test it out, and while I think no one has a real clue what's going on, it's nice to have something new and positive. And since I or a friend control the server, no worries on the perverse incentives of the internet giants.

So, yeah, hopefully we can learn, and hopefully the ecosystem can grow.

Is Boost shutting down?

[–] TrickyCamel@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Definetly, I remember mayayo (Boost's dev) commenting that the update he pushed out recently was the last dance or something.

[–] postscarce@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Can't imagine how Boost would survive when many more successful third-party apps are going under.

I already deleted my 3P app and was looking for an alternative. I wanted to be the one that ripped that band-aid off so it could scab up early. So far I'm liking these Lemmy servers. They are my polysporin :p

That's why I'm here, the third party app I use is about to be shut down.

I think we'll see another spike when the third-party apps are actually shut down.

It might turn into the Lemmy version of Eternal September.
