Fediverse

This is my first post, I just signed up. I was on reddit from the early days. I liked it then a lot more. This has that feel. I also like that it is open source - hopefully that will bring more developers.

Stopped using reddit after 12 years when the blackout began, and kept up with the developments through the tech news. Removing the mods and screwing around with things just because they're mad about a protest was the last straw, so now here I am!

I'm just here so i don't get fined. created an account because the developer for my reddit app is working on One for lemmy. So figured I'd give this a try

Seems like reddit just fresher. Not clogged up with all the bullshit. Also I feel like I'm on the ground level of a reddit competitor that seems to be protected from corporate bullshit.

The jump is caused by Spez being a twat.

Soon we will look back amazed at these growing little numbers. They're growing quickly but I expect it to grow by one or two more orders of magnitude over the coming months!

Is https://botsin.space/@threadcount on drugs? It is showing lemmy/kbin at 437,000 right now

I finally got lemmy to reset my password, so plan to use it more. Reddit takeover of subs was ridiculous, the surge is only going to continue

I dunno, but I've noticed that lemmy.ml had a bunch of bot and spam bots today to ban, and both lemmy.ml and lemmy.world have defederated with a bunch more instances compared to the other day. I wonder if the registration exploit has been patched.

Been signing up to reddit alts all week. Finally got to Lemmy.

I'm going back to some older style board websites. I'm looking for a reddit replacement (deleted account there) and never knew of this site. I heard about it from Shacknews.

There was a post that has code snippet that tells lemmy admins to turn on email verification and captcha.

And then lemmy.world admin turned off signup for a little while to clean up bot accounts.

Then account numbers jumped 84k in one day.

Coincidence? I don't think so.

Hello and I'm with you too. I wish you success in developing Lemmy.

No idea myself but we have to remember that not all the users that come try this will stay, so I anticipate once the Reddit nonsense blows over the community will shrink a bit. I am going to stay, but I was "lemmy curious" before the reddit business.

Reddit is fucked

All hail the new website

because stonks

This is getting so much larger! It's doubled again while active users aren't changing much. We may need to figure out this bot problem.

Oh, that must have been me.

meeee

Hopefully is not an army of bots, but for me that's the most plausible explanation.

People are tired of Reddit's abusive policies and of not be heard, and this is our response. I will keep use Reddit thanks to an user which made this, and thanks to the dev of Infinity for make it open source: https://www.reddit.com/r/Infinity_For_Reddit/comments/14c2v5x/build_your_own_apk_with_your_personal_api_key_in/

But I will remain here on Lemmy with Jerboa and see how it evolves.

For me, LJ Dawson, the Dev of Sync for Reddit posted that he is making a Lemmy app. I was planning on leaving Reddit at the end of June, so I signed up! I'm extremely happy to be here!

Edited: messed up posting the Dev's name. Thanks @DTFpanda@lemmy.world

Is it not because of hexbear deforking?
