It's all good I'm still mostly getting 1 upvote, similar to reddit
It's seems that my audience was also mostly just one person... That person is dedicated though.
My audience is one person to me I'm dedicated to being my biggest fan though
That calls for a c/suicidebywords :D
Seeings subreddits namedropped makes me teary-eyed 🥺
(I know Reddit is still technically alive, but it’s dead to me now)
Now you got 68 since the community here is awesome. :)
Now 81
My account here is 4 years old. I was so excited to learn about Lemmy back then, but the user base was painfully low. I'm getting that same excitement I had back then.
Please new people, make this your permanent home and forget Reddit!
Forgeddit
I'm definitely considering taking up permanent residence
we are come that you may have engagement, and have engagement more abundantly. - lemmy jesus
And the Reddit blackout hasn't even started yet. Gonna be interesting to see what this place looks like a week from now. I'm excited!
blackout?
People stay if there is enough content and the user experience doesn't suck. So fare, more and more people try to engage and build new communities. Just try to add value. Also the UI and Apps improved quickly but its fare from perfect :-)
on it my good sir!
That's the idea 😉
If this place grows just a bit more, I'm definitely staying. I've always preferred the vibe of smaller communities anyway.
Donezo. Not missing reddit.

I jumped on a week ago. The change in that time has been totally insane! I went from being able to scroll for an hour maybe for the first few days, to now, it's developing into a full blown doom-scroll addiction.....
Same boat. It's kind of amazing, you can literally watch the userbase grow with popular entries getting more and more general upvotes.
I'm grateful to see open source softwares blow up online
Yes, I'm very proud of the Reddit community for several times over the years mass-recommending open source and federated options.
It's honestly been amazing to witness, it's still got a ways to go before it's anything like mainstream but still
Yeah still missing a lot of country/thing-specific communities
It's like a warm, beautiful sunset.
What do you mean? Lemmy started last week right? /s
Lemmy! THE HOT NEW REDDIT SENSATION CREEPING THE NATION!
REDDIT WHO!?
EXACTLY!
LEMMY'S GOT TECHIES, IT'S GOT TREKKIES, IT'S GOT MASTODON INTEGRATION AND ISN'T OWNED BY A CORPORATE ENTITY, OR ANY GOVERNMENT! RADICAL!
scrap the current https://join-lemmy.org/ we need a screenshot of this comment up there and nothing else NOW
Everything started last wednesday.
I feel nostalgic in advance for having stumbled on an inside joke that I was almost around early enough to be on the inside of but can nevertheless clearly project myself there.
I joined a year ago and it's crazy, i remember getting excited over 20 upvotes, that AMA and the whole 3rd party fiasco really brought a lot of people here!
Yeah, u/spez being a terrible CEO/person might be the best thing to happen to the fediverse. I tried Mastodon a few months ago but the community wasn't big enough to get me hooked. I joined Lemmy earlier this week and I really like the community that's developing here.
Let's get this to 500!
I think we reached 500 already. To 1000!
Yeah, just passed 600...
My first comment was the most upvoted comment on a subreddit. I got 19 upvoted.
People are just much more supportive and friendlier here. But I guess because we are in a state now before all the assholes join from reddit...
Maybe it’s just me but Mastodon seems still way friendlier than Twitter, I guess partly to do with the people but also the platform structure that seems to have less incentive to attack people. Hope it’s the same for Lemmy.
I really hope that won't be the case. So far I like Lemmy and the vibe here a lot and am not afraid to comment somewhere which was the case on Reddit. I hope it stays that way, guess we'll see that after the blackout.
Holy shit, you’re famous
Hey it's that guy who got 20 upvotes!
Look at you with 6 whole upvotes!
I remember before federation was an implemented feature and there were like 5 instances that couldn't talk with each other. I feel old now.
I remember reddit before even subs when it was just a single page for tech news :(
I remember when helium was created from hydrogen in the biggest of bangs
Ok boomer
Go Lemmy!
Hopefully this will increase next week!
Where do you track your upvotes? O use jerboa BTW
There's no karma total, lemmy only tracks you individual post/comment vote counts. Break free of the shackles of Karma Addiction!
Karma addiction is a thing..but I don't get a notification when I get upvoted.it's not a bad thing..I use infinity to access reddit and it doesn't show notifications either so I'm used to it..but I got curious about how you track your upvoted because of the meme
Is there another option other than Jerboa? I miss RiF...
Hell, I was surprised when I got 20 on reddit. Specifically once something hit /all your comment never gets read.
True story
Na, you were lucky if you didn't get 20 down-votes all the time :p
I'm sure you're glad to have more neocon friends on here to help with the down voting.
Osti meilleur même hahaha j'suis mort merci
