They could really do with better explanation of the federated servers before people sign up. I did do a little research before I knew which instance to use
Well, that’s why open source is so powerful - everything can (and, in fact, should) be done by community for community
Usually developers aren’t good writers :)
I still hope it will become easier one day to Docker-host a Lemmy instance where other Docker setup and containers are already present and cannot be changed just for Lemmy.
Yeah, I admittedly havent looked into it too much but if it were easy enough I’d set up an instance at the very least to host users.
༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ take my
energydonationI just got 500 Internal Server Error
LoL
thanks god, I’m here from another instance
The amount of people has increased, even within the last few days, a bigger community is always better, but I’d like us to keep the same optimistic and appreciative attitudes we all seem to have at the moment, that would really make it so much better than Reddit
That’s why I’m here Obi Wan meme
Check this out!
Can’t do that on reddit!
or this
There’s always a better meme.
Do we have a /c/prequelmemes? I love me some prequelmemes
Dunno about prequels specifically but we do have https://lemmy.world/c/starwarsmemes (on mobile, can’t do proper link, soz)
Hello there!
I really don’t understand how people can still use reddit with a clean conscience especially after their treatment to Christian and other 3rd party developers. They’ve made it clear with their words and actions that they don’t give a fuck about their users, so how can a respectful person still choose to stay? It was a lost cause since the beginning, the protests were never going to work. I appreciate the ones who’ve decided to abandon the ship and join us here.
People are desensitized.
Most services or products have some toe dipped in shady shit, so people have been forced to learn to reconcile with participating more or less in a least some unethical bullshit, just to have a normal life.
Want to have a t-shirt? Probably just supported slave labour.
Want to talk to a friend? Probably just sold you digital soul to a megacorp, and at least two foreign powers.
I get what you’re saying and I also completely understand why people have become desensitised but there’s nothing more dangerous than an apathetic society.
We can’t end world hunger, but we can atleast feed a poor person. We can’t end child labour, but we can atleast sponsor a child’s education and basic necessities.
Just because we can’t end it all doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try and contribute to make our society a better place in whatever way we can.
I agree, and its one of the reasons I push the people around me to think about how the world works more.
I can’t fix everything, but I’m doing what I can, and I try to get the passive people I can get to, to snap out of it.
You said you couldn’t understand these people, but it’s possible. And doing so, is step one of getting through to them.
I don’t think that just because some people don’t abandon Reddit now means they’re apathetic or desensitized in general. There’s so many things wrong with the world and not everyone can and will fight everything all the time. People have different item on the top of their lists.
I’m certain you are doing things in your life others would be flabbergasted at like you are here. For example: Do you eat meat, tuna, stuff with palm oil? Do you have pets? Do you drive a car? There’s people out there who’d call you apathetic to the problems these things cause.
I’m certainly not a saint 100% of the time because if I tried I’d fall apart. Like everyone else would.
Edit: removed double negative
I think the biggest takeaway here is time. I have a massive to-do list and priority list, and realistically I don’t have the time to research every single product I buy, what services I subscribe to, nor do I really have time to volunteer because I’m working so much to keep myself and my wife afloat. I do my damnedest to make informed decisions on products I buy, but at the end of the day, there is not such thing as ethically sourced gasoline. I’m down to do something or anything to help change society, but every option at the moment either gets you locked up, made a mockery, or made a martyr.
Your so right. All these things are because of capitalism. If we could tear that down we may get a chance to fix things. But as long as it exists the world will keep getting worse.
undefined> But as long as it exists the world will keep getting worse
The hope I have is that one day, with all the wealth this country has amassed through capitalism, the government can redistribute that wealth to improve the quality of life for citizens. Use that wealth to improve health care, affordable education, build a shit load of homes for people, I can go on and on.
It’s not wealth itself, it’s the way it’s used.
Absolutely true, when i saw that there are even people defending Reddit i just had to get rid of it.
I want to distance myself from this shit or my blood will boil over.
Cheers to a new home with people doing something against these megacorp practices these days.
Thats…why im here. Fuck Spez
undefined> so how can a respectful person still choose to stay?
You have to keep in mind that most, maybe majority of people, are just consumers. They don’t care about the background stuff going on as long as they can access their favorite source of content. You can say the same thing about Twitter. People won’t care until it directly affects them.
And I’m happy to be here, my first comment on Lemmy!
Welcome aboard! This is one of my first comments. I hail from the land of Apollo. Cheers.
Same here! 12 years on Reddit and that idiot had to go and kill my app.
It was time. Reddit got overexposed and it kinda ruined it.
Excited to watch this website progress.
check out wefwef.org for an ios app like experience!
I’m really impressed with it so far. Feels like Apollo.
Welcome!
I’m giving all new users their firtmst updoot!
Dude! What does mine say?
Dude!
Same! Living the dream ;)

I just left Reddit this morning 😆
I do sometimes look back, kind of, but more like watching a train wreck with popcorn than anything
Just got approved this morning. Glad to be here
Welcome to Lemmy! Have an updoot.
Yup that’s why I’m here lol
Whoa, joined 3 minutes ago. Welcome to lemmy!
Thanks!
Was browsing Sync For Reddit a few minutes ago when it finally shut down. Just got the following notification:
Sync For Reddit has shutdown Thank you for using Sync. It’s been one hell of a ride.
Man am I pissed, but I’m happy to be here now.
If you didn’t already know
I’m in the same boat
We’re gonna need a bigger boat.
I revanced sync so it would continue working for me and still got that message… Didn’t know that it cut off regular users at the same time.
I’m gradually breaking my reddit addiction but I was so unprepared for this that it’s going to take me some time to fully put it down.
In the meantime, I’ve stopped posting and upvoting and I’m limiting my comments by an extreme amount…
Fuck /u/spez though. They’re not going to make a damn dime in ad dollars off me.
Reddit had one hell of an era. Been part of my routines for about a dozen years. I’m really hoping the fediverse can continue to scratch the same itch. So far so good!
On the bright side, he’s making sync for lemmy now
Already here
Joined today :)
Tbh I just hope that reddit will fail after 1st of july just so they would finally understand that the community is everything.
It won’t die in a straight line, but this is an inflection point that can help this or another platform mature to the point that it becomes an easier move for the next wave of dissidents.
Just arrived after sync stopped working… seems like a nice place :)
Welcome! Have an updoot! And yes, in my experience, it is.
You got that right. Transplant in the house.
If we keep informing people about them.
wefwef.app is the best rn imo; starting to feel like Apollo already.
I say people should keep pushing Lemmy apps in reddit until at least a week after Sync for Lemmy is out in a few weeks
Connect for Lemmy, if you’re on android. Rapidly developing, at a minimum.
I cant get wefwef to work it keeps saying “problem fetching posts”
lemmy.world is ratelimiting the app. You’ll have to use another instance for now or wait for the next update
I imagine the production server of the devs is getting absolutely fucked right now. But the beauty is that you can easily host your own private version of it.
Is there a backend component to it? I thought it was strictly a frontend client interacting directly with the Lemmy API; therefore all the errors were coming from the lemmy.world instance… If that isn’t the case then I’ll maybe spend the time to spin up a wefwef deployment myself too.
Go to inbox, then inbox(all). Select your instance and then your login credentials.
It’s a pretty good Apollo clone! It will tide me over in my grief, at least. However long that takes.
