Congrats! Tbh, I didn’t believe in the second wave that much because I thought that most of the caring users already switched but turns out that I wrong and more people are actually joining which is very good. I can’t wait to see for this platform to grow bigger.
Same here, but I’m seeing more and more engagement across the entire platform. It’s really exciting watching things grow and I think as more people learn how to use Lemmy and they find communities they enjoy, we’ll continue to see activity increase
The main driving force is the apps moving to lemmy.
Lots of people come over if you post or comment about Sync, Boost, Slide, Infinity, Connect (similar to relay) etc
wefwef.app and Memmy are very similar to Apollo already
I am so happy that there are alot of subs like Reddit. They did not listen so we moved!
Had the same thoughts as you. In my mind people who cared about the issue (and not cared for the company’s response) had already taken action. There might be a second small wave now, but we might be looking at a long tail adoption. The important thing is that people find and stumble to content via search engines, and who knows when these engines will be crawling the fediverse…
I tried to come over before but there were obviously challenges. Now this setup is definitely more robust and better prepared for the influx of us refugees!
Ditto, but I’ll be happy to be proven wrong, so I am making an effort to unlurk.
Apparently I should never underestimate the power of procrastination.
I think part of that second wave were people hoping that someone internal at reddit knocking some sense into spez last minute.
I’m gonna be a semi silent updooter
Fine with me, I’d rather have you here, looking at pretty pictures, enjoying yourself and being semi-silent than not at all.
Same
First post. Just testing. Nothing to see. Please go ahead.
Hey diddly hi FMHY!
Just subscribed, looks like an awesome community
Glad to have you!
New Lemmy user, chiming in.
I fucks with space.
Hey I am new to this whole everything and I love it
Count me in
Glad to be here!
Hey all 🙂👋 Totally new to all of this and from RIF, but the Fetaverse looks exiting!
Good to have you. There’s some really good communities here and looks like most of the trolls are isolated to a few instances, or still on Reddit.
I subscribed, good community.
Although I clicked half expecting something more literal.I don’t have any good sources for cutting edge stuff cause I usually get my space porn from communities like this in the first place (where are y’all getting your images?), but I shared some of the great older content I’m current using for my phone background and for art on my walls. They’re very well known, though, so they’re quite frankly reposts for today’s lucky ten thousand (but I stand by that Exoplanet series being the best thing since sliced bread).
Honestly NASA astronomy photo of the day has hundreds of super high quality images archived so you can see them by date. I’m active on Flickr and astrobin so I see tons of images worthy of sharing on those. Imgur has a million as well.
Don’t feel pressured to post if you don’t want to, but if you come across anything worthy of sharing, it’d be awesome if you did

I like space. It’s big.
I also like pretty pictures.
My favorite sub, will be more active from now on.
Awesome good to have you!
