If you've been sitting on making a post about your favorite instance, this could be a good opportunity to do so.

Going by our registration applications, a lot of people are learning about the fediverse for the first time and they're excited about the idea. I've really enjoyed reading through them :)

Yeah I think it's best we don't advertise this place. It's a little strange.

[–] [email protected] 139 points 1 day ago (11 children)

Come to Lemmy, we got: blood thirsty Linux users, furries, femboys, communists, and tankies. Also, porn.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

It has its own charm once you get used to it lmao

[–] [email protected] 2 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

The charm is why I keep coming back. Especially when it comes to the Lemmy Charm comments for lemmynsfw.com.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 14 hours ago

On Reddit I looked at so many posts on one day, on Lemmy I read like 2 posts but go in the comments much more often. Actually I look at more comments than posts, which I find better!

[–] ikidd 47 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The porn is sadly lacking, actuallly.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Be the change you want to see

What exactly does a DragonTypeWyvern tail look like? Is it long with scales?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Depends on the kind of wyvern

That's all wyverns. Reddit is demonstrably and embarrassingly wrong.

[–] FordBeeblebrox 10 points 1 day ago

I see a lot more Trek memes here than on reddit and I love every one

[–] MeaanBeaan 9 points 1 day ago

There we go. I was waiting to be represented.

The Picard Maneuver "Am I joke to you?"

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Wait how is Squid this popular? 😂

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He has the most posts and comments on the Lemmy activity scoreboard.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 15 hours ago
[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

I'd say it is more notoriety than popularity.

[–] InternetCitizen2 5 points 1 day ago

Its not, this incident will be reported to the nearest democracy officer.

Thanks (⁠・⁠–⁠・⁠)⁠ ⁠\⁠(⁠・⁠◡⁠・⁠)⁠/

[–] jaggedrobotpubes 7 points 1 day ago

Well, reddit has nothing at this point, so it's better than the competition.

[–] dual_sport_dork 6 points 1 day ago

And knives.

And beans.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Also, porn.

Where is this abhorrent content? I need to know so i can avoid it....

[–] Sconrad122 12 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Is sh.itjust.works not federated with lemmynsfw.com? Or maybe you use a Front page or Local feed. Here on world (no comment on the instance wars), lemmynsfw communities pretty regularly show up on my All feed. Seems like whatever they do with posts over there really makes the "Active" sorter happy, if you know what I mean

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

It definitely was federated back when I made my acct here, as I had to block it lmao.

[–] taiyang 2 points 1 day ago

That's what I was wondering. For a while I swear naked images of Rinkunn were more prevalent than The Picard Maneuver. I'm an All user mostly out of curiosity but disappointed that I think world defederated from one of the major furry ones cause that dropped considerably.

Wait, is disappointed the right word? I guess it is, although maybe i just miss their positivity. I'm still cool with hexbear being defederated, after all. Lol

[–] Shapillon 10 points 1 day ago

Often most of those at the same time.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Don’t forget the No Poop Challenge

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Thanks, Stefon.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

*porn involving some or all of the above

I could see people promoting Piefed and Mbin instead.

[–] Syrc 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We need to get more people in here if we want it to actually be a Reddit competitor. Right now it’s good for some communities, but smaller ones are still extremely underpopulated.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 21 hours ago

I've seen the moist cat mbin instance being promoted a few times in RedditAlternative before I move here, actually. it's one of my considerations jumping instances actually.

[–] LittleRatInALittleHat 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's no different than reddit, DIGG, or the Something Awful forums before they got popular.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Which is why it's based that it wasn't promoted

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

As long as no one sells off Lemmy, which is impossible now...

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's good to have some friends, but don't let too many normies in.....

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

We reached a point a while ago where yall saying shit like this became the "normies"

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

a while ago where yall saying shit like this became the “normies”

Ohh it's normal for us. But there are still a lot of sports all-consuming, rabble rousing, linux hating, clue collar people still on Reddit, any I don't mind them staying over there.

[–] doodledup 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nieche communities are very quiet here though.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

They are, probably even too quiet. But the level of griefers, bots and trolls is very very low, and selfishly, I REALLY like that.
