It’s so exciting watching these new communities pop up on here!
Also, shoutout to all the devs working on cool Lemmy apps like Memmy, Mlem, Liftoff and wefwef. My week has been pretty entertaining checking these out!
Which one you recommend?
All of them are great, honestly, though I’m currently using Memmy as my main one, as that one seems to be more feature-complete.
Today I discovered wefwef, which is a web app, and was blown away by how good it works, so I’d recommend you check that one out, as well.
@MicroWave I had never heard of the Fediverse or kbin before the protests on Reddit. I’m really hoping this all takes off. I’ve been enjoying my time here so far.
I'm happy to be here. Lemmy seems like a good place so far. I'm not sure if it will take off in the long term (I think a lot of people don't "get" the whole federated thing, just like with Mastodon), but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Mastodon has gotten really good at obfuscating the federation away in normal use, Lemmy and Kbin are picking up those tricks a lot faster.
For example, v18 made linking communities possible by just typing the name, and Lemmy then handles making it a working link on each instance.
The trickiest part will be having users pick an instance, but once past that hurdle, the federation aspect doesn't need to be a complicating factor.
~~Most are bots though
Many instances have over 40k total users but only 10 people or so active
I think about 250k is the number of real people (still very impressive)~~
