Fuck you Spez, most may be bots right now but those bad boys will eventually become real users.
I think it's possible to belong to more than one form of social media, it isn't an either/or situation. Also it's way too early to project how any of this is going to end, it reminds me of the early days of the internet in miniature as people scrambled around trying new things. I say throw everything at the wall and lets see what sticks and if beehaw makes people happy and gives people that don't feel safe other places somewhere that they can be online I think it's great. Not everything is for everyone and that's OK, if we all liked the same thing vanilla would be the only ice cream flavor.
That uptick in users the past week is crazy.
Very easy signup so far. Excited to see how things go here.
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.
Sync is in the works!!
You should grab memmy and join their discord. They've posted some screenshots of what the UI overhaul will look like in the short term and it looks incredible. If you love Apollo, it should be a pretty easy transition
There's a couple iOS apps in development right now (Mlem and Memmy). Can't wait for them to hit the app store.

Thanks I will have that stuck in my head for the night.
Lemmy will be like what LibreOffice was to OpenOffice. I can feel it.
I hope this number doubles by the next days.
