They could really do with better explanation of the federated servers before people sign up. I did do a little research before I knew which instance to use

Well, that's why open source is so powerful - everything can (and, in fact, should) be done by community for community

Usually developers aren't good writers :)

I still hope it will become easier one day to Docker-host a Lemmy instance where other Docker setup and containers are already present and cannot be changed just for Lemmy.

The amount of people has increased, even within the last few days, a bigger community is always better, but I'd like us to keep the same optimistic and appreciative attitudes we all seem to have at the moment, that would really make it so much better than Reddit

[–] Bruhmoment@lemm.ee 29 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

I really don't understand how people can still use reddit with a clean conscience especially after their treatment to Christian and other 3rd party developers. They've made it clear with their words and actions that they don't give a fuck about their users, so how can a respectful person still choose to stay? It was a lost cause since the beginning, the protests were never going to work. I appreciate the ones who've decided to abandon the ship and join us here.

People are desensitized.

Most services or products have some toe dipped in shady shit, so people have been forced to learn to reconcile with participating more or less in a least some unethical bullshit, just to have a normal life.

Want to have a t-shirt? Probably just supported slave labour.

Want to talk to a friend? Probably just sold you digital soul to a megacorp, and at least two foreign powers.

[–] Bruhmoment@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I get what you're saying and I also completely understand why people have become desensitised but there's nothing more dangerous than an apathetic society.

We can't end world hunger, but we can atleast feed a poor person. We can't end child labour, but we can atleast sponsor a child's education and basic necessities.

Just because we can't end it all doesn't mean we shouldn't try and contribute to make our society a better place in whatever way we can.

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 year ago

I agree, and its one of the reasons I push the people around me to think about how the world works more.

I can't fix everything, but I'm doing what I can, and I try to get the passive people I can get to, to snap out of it.

You said you couldn't understand these people, but it's possible. And doing so, is step one of getting through to them.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Your so right. All these things are because of capitalism. If we could tear that down we may get a chance to fix things. But as long as it exists the world will keep getting worse.

Absolutely true, when i saw that there are even people defending Reddit i just had to get rid of it.

I want to distance myself from this shit or my blood will boil over.

Cheers to a new home with people doing something against these megacorp practices these days.

Was browsing Sync For Reddit a few minutes ago when it finally shut down. Just got the following notification:

Sync For Reddit has shutdown Thank you for using Sync. It's been one hell of a ride.

Man am I pissed, but I'm happy to be here now.

If we keep informing people about them.

wefwef.app is the best rn imo; starting to feel like Apollo already.

I say people should keep pushing Lemmy apps in reddit until at least a week after Sync for Lemmy is out in a few weeks

A lot of people have already left ~~Reddit~~ Fuggit and moved to Fedi as we have seen over the past couple of weeks.

And those who are still sitting there, they are either in a dilemma and unable to make up their minds, or they live under a seriously big rock and have no idea what's going on with this API saga, and the Third Party Apps stopping to work on July 1 will be a nasty surprise for them.

In short, it's unlikely that they will overcome the surprise/dilemma in just a day and jump over to Lemmy immediately.

The Fuggit --> Lemmy migration will continue as it is today, but I don't think there will be a catastrophic spike on July 1.

[–] CheshireSnake@iusearchlinux.fyi 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I have to agree with this. It'd be nice to get another spike like we had last time, but I really doubt it. Sure, people may still come after the 30th, but not like the previous spike we had before.

And many will just move to oficial app

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

I think the apps no longer working will be the impetus for many to actually search up options. They almost certainly know about the API saga, but not necessarily about Lemmy or the fediverse. Until now, many likely held onto hope that this shit would turn around, and they won't have been considering a plan B.

[–] Retro@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago

Seems a good a thread as any for my first post. Exciting times. Reddit showing its true colours might well make the internet just a little bit of a better place if it helps the Fediverse take off.

I'm excited for everyone to see how much better Lemmy is. I'm really happy we have a good option outside of Reddit.

[–] nandos@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

I'll admit I'm moving from reddit and don't yet understand what lemmy and the fediverse are all about. I'm currently using the Connect for Lemmy app. So far it feels like there's a lot less content here, or I have no idea how to find the popular instances/communities. Another small gripe I have is when I search for a community (eg. gamedev) there's multiple that seem to be about the same thing. I've subscribed to them all and I guess that's just the nature of decentralized communities but it certainly makes the user experience a bit less seamless.

Does anyone have tips on how to best utilize Lemmy?
