General Discussion

Yeah, I switched over to another server simply because lemmy.world was slow and then got compromised with the whole injection thing. No other reason.

lemmy.world seems pretty saturated.

I'm having massive problems with Connect on mobile. I can see my feed but can't vote or post. Every time I try it says, "user not logged in". Hopefully whenever that's smoothed over I can contribute more.

Well I mean when you have connectivity issues and authentication issues making you unable to log in, I more than get it. It's all well and good though as I hope Lemmy takes off. Growing pains is all!

Well this is good. It makes much more sense to spread out. I'm glad to see people stick with it and move to another instance instead of just quit altogether.

This instance took a "wait and see" stance to Meta. It lost a lot of subreddit modteams when it did, who are now pushing their userbases to the comms they've made in other lemmys by putting up links and sticky posts in their old subreddits.

I have several subreddits where our teams argued internally about it, we were mostly in support of coming here until the instance was soft on Meta.

I just signed up for a more local instance, but I've been looking for an easier way to swap over my subscriptions

This sequence of events makes a lot of sense.

First, when leaving Reddit, people are going to gravitate towards one of the larger instances. That's what I personally did. I don't think I'd say I fully understand Lemmy and the Fediverse now, but I've been here long enough to now know more about how the instances thing works.

So second, as the userbase grows and people stay for longer, they learn how this place works. And third, if they dislike moderation or direction or server performance or what have you, they have enough experience to start from another instance or frequent it more and this less.

I expect we'll see other communities start to grow now, while the larger ones stay relatively constant.

I'm not using lemmy as much because theres no RES

So I have a vague understanding of this.

I tried going to another server when I read something about a lemmy instance turning down FB. I go there and I'm prompted to make yet another account to use that instance.

Does this mean, that I need to make a new log-in per instance, per server just to use it? If so, that's entirely exhausting for me to keep track and I already have an abundance of accounts as is, to where I had to make a document that records every account with every password. We need an internet where it's less of that.

Wait, where does it say that lemmy.world active users is tapering off?

I like the big instance in my country, the local section is nice to browse on its own.

In a lot of ways, I’m happy to hear this. A lot of communities will thrive without the intervention of a central power.

Some communities will become toxic, and it will be up to the individual to figure out whether that’s for them or not- but at least they have a choice.

/r/fatpeoplehate inspired me to lose 135 LB. It wasn’t a bad subreddit.

Granted /r/coonworld /r/chimpout we’re both…Jesus Christ… but at least even the most vile of people had a voice.

Cus lemmy world is still bugged after the hack...

That's part of the design, isn't it? Basically so no instance has dominance.
