My account here is 4 years old. I was so excited to learn about Lemmy back then, but the user base was painfully low. I’m getting that same excitement I had back then.
Please new people, make this your permanent home and forget Reddit!
I’m definitely considering taking up permanent residence
And the Reddit blackout hasn’t even started yet. Gonna be interesting to see what this place looks like a week from now. I’m excited!
blackout?
Forgeddit
People stay if there is enough content and the user experience doesn’t suck. So fare, more and more people try to engage and build new communities. Just try to add value. Also the UI and Apps improved quickly but its fare from perfect :-)
It’s all good I’m still mostly getting 1 upvote, similar to reddit
You’re doing your best and that’s OK!
Why was Obama crying?
He was moved by the speech Obama gave for him.
What do you mean? Lemmy started last week right? /s
Lemmy! THE HOT NEW REDDIT SENSATION CREEPING THE NATION!
REDDIT WHO!?
EXACTLY!
LEMMY’S GOT TECHIES, IT’S GOT TREKKIES, IT’S GOT MASTODON INTEGRATION AND ISN’T OWNED BY A CORPORATE ENTITY, OR ANY GOVERNMENT! RADICAL!
This is the redditest comment on Lemmy i’ve ever read
Might as well carry on as usual. I like to think nothing changed and we just moved.
The community is thousands of times more important than where it happens to be.
scrap the current https://join-lemmy.org/ we need a screenshot of this comment up there and nothing else NOW
Everything started last wednesday.
Hell, I was surprised when I got 20 on reddit. Specifically once something hit /all your comment never gets read.

I miss the old lemmy from a week ago when i signed up haha, feels like it blew up so much.
My first comment was the most upvoted comment on a subreddit. I got 19 upvoted.
People are just much more supportive and friendlier here. But I guess because we are in a state now before all the assholes join from reddit…
Maybe it’s just me but Mastodon seems still way friendlier than Twitter, I guess partly to do with the people but also the platform structure that seems to have less incentive to attack people. Hope it’s the same for Lemmy.
Osti meilleur même hahaha j’suis mort merci
Let’s get this to 500!
I think we reached 500 already. To 1000!
Yeah, just passed 600…
“I’m doing my part!” is probably the most used meme on Lemmy
I’ve already readthat
I blame phone posting :/
I didn’t even notice your username and was just trying to be helpfully funny, not sarcastic 😅
I joined a year ago and it’s crazy, i remember getting excited over 20 upvotes, that AMA and the whole 3rd party fiasco really brought a lot of people here!
Yeah, u/spez being a terrible CEO/person might be the best thing to happen to the fediverse. I tried Mastodon a few months ago but the community wasn’t big enough to get me hooked. I joined Lemmy earlier this week and I really like the community that’s developing here.
Where do you track your upvotes? O use jerboa BTW
There’s no karma total, lemmy only tracks you individual post/comment vote counts. Break free of the shackles of Karma Addiction!
Karma addiction is a thing…but I don’t get a notification when I get upvoted.it’s not a bad thing…I use infinity to access reddit and it doesn’t show notifications either so I’m used to it…but I got curious about how you track your upvoted because of the meme
Up there in the top right corner is the number of upvotes a comment or post has gotten, there’s no total upvote/downvote tracking here.
Top right of comment next to comment age. Besides that, Lemmy does not calculate total karma
I rather like how total karma isn’t tracked. I wonder how other people feel though?
It’s perfect and I wish Reddit did it ages ago. It’s the same as Forums with account levels, it makes you think someone has more input than they actually do, and it opens up the system to people selling accounts or botting accounts to later sell (which is a rampant problem on reddit and there’s now anti-bot bots).
It is a good thing, objectively. But at least on Mlem there is kind of an equivalent of the karma in the profile page (comment score and post score), if you miss that. 😎
Some may interact less though if there is no karma; gamification works after all. I guess we’ll see.
I still can’t get my iOS app to let me comment
Oh shit it actually worked, upvotes for all. Sorry for shitting on you mLem!
Wait is there a specific Lemmy person? Because I initially though that this site was some Motorhead fan page that evolved into a reddit alternative lol lol. Im so old.
From their Github:
Why’s it called Lemmy?
- Lead singer from Motörhead.
- The old school video game.
- The Koopa from Super Mario.
- The furry rodents.
True story
Na, you were lucky if you didn’t get 20 down-votes all the time :p
I’m sure you’re glad to have more neocon friends on here to help with the down voting.
