Yup. That played a big role for me, too. The other factor was lemmy.ml was the first to approve my signup, finally giving me the ability to post. I’m still looking around to get a feel for other instances, and might even set up my own.

I’d wager a large percentage are bots, too!

I’m not ditching Reddit, just here trying out alternatives.

How has your lemmy experience been so far?

Well… I’m scrolling and F5’ing as if I was on Reddit, so honestly doesn’t feel that different, yet.

That’s, so sad. Apollo has so many users that are going to be heartbroken. Feel bad for Christian.

Same here! I was starting to think my application was rejected. So I signed up here on lemmy.ml and was approved fairly quickly.

Oh, that’s a great idea! I have a raspberry pi I could run an instance on, too. Now I need to figure it whether running an instance is worthwhile or not.

What kind of resource usage are you seeing on your instance? I have a droplet running and was wondering about setting up my own instance.

Might be overloaded since a lot of people are trying out Lemmy.

First post for me!

Sorry, I applied and got approved here. Still waiting to hear back from beehaw…

I’m really digging this UI compared to Reddit, but I am 99.9% a mobile user via the native Reddit app (don’t @ me!)

I am very tempted to setup my own instance. Wondering what resource usage looks like for an instance.
