Hello World!

We want to wish you all a great new year! We also want to look back on 2023 and the amazing things that have happened here on Lemmy.World and the rest of the Lemmyverse.

We couldn’t have begun to dream of the amazing community we have built here. The self-destruction that has been happening on Reddit has been the opportunity of a lifetime to create an amazing community here. We hope everyone who migrated over has found a great place to share, scroll and upvote here on Lemmy.

The numbers have been amazing:

  • Almost 150k accounts here on Lemmy.World
  • 212k posts and 1.66 million comments
  • Almost 10k communities

We think next year will be even better! You can help us achieve that by simply being yourself and posting as much as you want. A special thanks to all the moderators that have kept the communities rolling. Don’t hesitate to thank them for their contributions.

Our donors allow Lemmy.World to stay truly free and accessible for everyone! Thank you to every single one of them. Also thank you to everyone who donated to the team that created Lemmy itself, funding the development of this platform with huge potential.

We hope 2024 will be great for everyone! Thank you for being such an amazing community.

~ The admin and community teams

    being yourself and posting as much as you want

    Tell that to the “World News” community who just imposed a rule saying you are not allowed to post more than 10 posts per day. 😐

    Edit: Why the down votes, I wonder. I wish people would say something rather than just down vote. I thought this was not Reddit.

      Doesn’t seem like an unreasonable rule to me. Maybe in place to prevent power users from controlling flow of articles for any kind of agenda or clout?

        That was the reasoning, yes. Also the user in question was posting the full text ripped from the articles, which is… not good. So no, it isn’t a terrible rule at all.

        I’m just saying not every community allows posting however much you want. 😊

      Well… I didn’t say you could post all you want in one single community, haha.

        Hi,

        I don’t see anything in your reply, sorry. Am I supposed to see something? Or are you implying I’m a clown simply by your username?

          I think more of the joke was he just didn’t say anything.

              Maybe it’s a play on the old saying: ‘better to remain silent and seem the fool than open your mouth and prove it’

              In this instance (a good vibes thread where people are wishing everyone well and thanking others for their efforts over the past year) it might be seen as gauche to use this space to grumble about some technical minutiae.

                That seems a tad far-fetched 😅, even though that adage is freaking golden; I love it. Gonna use that more, I think. Plenty of opportunities…

                I agree though, it wasn’t the time or place to whine. You are a wise one.

                So they’re calling me a clown, as I suspected?
