I was waiting for a MicroWave thread about this ๐Ÿ˜

Congratulations everyone for this milestone! ๐Ÿฅณ

[-] MicroWave@lemmy.world 48 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I've been having a little too much fun on lemmy. ๐Ÿ˜

[-] Nowyn@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 year ago

Or you might be 1% of 1%. I think it is great. At least until I arbitarily decide it is not. ;)

Iโ€™m trying to keep up with the fediverse jargon, but what the heck is a MicroWave thread?

[-] V4uban@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

Just done by Microwave, an enthusiastic poster

[-] qwertyqwertyqwerty@lemmy.one 8 points 1 year ago

Oh geez. Got it. Thank you!

[-] V4uban@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

No worries, have a good day!

[-] Spacebar@lemmy.world 56 points 1 year ago

Wasn't lemmy.world only created in mid June?

[-] MicroWave@lemmy.world 63 points 1 year ago

June 1, I think. Hitting 100k users in just over a month is kind of intense.

[-] thessnake03@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago

Zuck, Spez, and Elon can suck my nuts!

[-] TheJack@lemmy.world 50 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Well I'm loving Lemmy.world so far. Feels refreshing in here.

I wasn't commenting much on Reddit, but in here I feel like participating.

Congrats and thanks Lemmy.world admin @ruud@lemmy.world

And still silent on the status of Meta defederation.

[-] Anarchie99@feddit.de 22 points 1 year ago

It's not federated yet anyway.

[-] LoQey@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

I believe Ruud has stated elsewhere (on Mastodon or whatever it is called) that they won't do anything preemptively, but they're keeping a close eye on what Meta does.

What the hell ? Feels like it was sitting at 30k just a couple days ago, insane growth.

[-] Metal_Zealot@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

I just signed up the other day once I discovered the dev for Sync was starting development on a Lemmy app.

I wanted to ask regular Lemmy users... What is your opinion on the influx of people from Reddit? Do you fear it will change the social atmosphere here, or do you welcome new users to the community?

I've seen plenty of posts venting about Reddit already, and I imagine that'll probably get tiring really fast for long lasting Lemmy users (Lemmyers?)

Pretty sure Lemmy is getting a ton of reddit users now that they pretty much ruined the user experience by making 3rd party app developers to pay money to use their api.

I just created an account here... I won't be returning to reddit!

The third party app I used for reddit said that this is the platform they were going to focus on. That's why I came. Those are the people I want to support. The people that make the experience better. Once they release an app I'll buy it first day

Just a week and a half ago, we were celebrating going from #2 to #1 most populous instance. And just 2 weeks before that, I had no idea what a lemmy was.

It's like catching a nice surf wave.

[-] Boiglenoight@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

I'm not going back to Reddit, that's for sure. Unless...they come up with an i486 theme...๐Ÿค”

Very happy to be part of this community - feels like home to me!

[-] rm_dash_r_star@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Good for you lemmy.world, congrats!

BTW, lemmy.world is #1 in the node sort by total users at the-federation.info

Now the trick is to keep the instance running well with that crazy high user load.

I like Kbin better, but I am happy and proud to contribute to this rapidly expanding family of communities that repudiates control by megacorps and Big Tech.

[-] Pseu@kbin.social 14 points 1 year ago

The great thing is that there's no competition between lemmy and kbin. We can use whichever we prefer and still have access to all the same communities.

It's been handled amazingly well on the whole, too!

[-] Suavevillain@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

This is the place to be. I'm hoping some communities jump over. I've seen a few use discord that is not a good replacement at lol.
