If it makes you feel better, I'm like 90% sure this is staged
Replying with Boost for Lemmy and immediately paid for ad free! Happy to make occasional donations for my favorite app
The Sid the sloth vibes are real
This seems to be new frontier for a lot of users. Lemmy is like Reddit in a lot of ways but so much different in so many more ways. As new users, we're pretty much guinea pigs (or lemmings, I guess) and I imagine there's going to be a lot of this in the weeks to come.
Would have been nice to get a little more experience under my feet before having to deal with this
This is experience! If Lemmy works out, we'll be able to say we helped pave the way!
I can completely understand why they did but it really sucks that it had to happen. Hopefully, as the Fediverse grows, better tools are made available so instances don't need to defederate from each other.
With that said, I think it's a pretty amazing concept that they can. Terrible, sure, but nonetheless amazing.
I also wasn't aware that other instances vetted their users? This was the first one I picked. Is there a plan to address the issues beehaw brought up?
Okay but if we eat the rich, I'm here for it
Is this the part where we seize the means of production and eat the rich? Because I'm here for it.
Of all the cats I've ever seen, this is definitely one of them!
Seriously though, that's a nice fucking kitty right there
Boost for Reddit was the best 3P app and I'll fight anyone who says otherwise! Hopefully, we'll be seeing a Boost for Lemmy clone in the app store soon.
I've commented once already that I hope the influx of new users helps the development of Jerboa and/or encourages other developers to build on Lemmy.
It would be nice seeing Lemmy is Fun/Boost for Lemmy/Sync for Lemmy clones popping up.
I've done more commenting in this post today than I have on Reddit all year
