I don't know if you've noticed this, but threads or comments about Lemmy or the Fediverse get downvoted a lot on Reddit and trolls who claim that it's "dogshit" and "not going anywhere" get systematically upvoted.

Some of those trolls get then exposed when you ask them what Lemmy instance they tried and one of them with whom I had a surreal exchange answered with something like "yeah ofc I used Lemmy, this is the instance: join-lemmy.org" ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

It's frustrating that these trolls keep contributing to the big lie that "Lemmy is not ready yet" and that there's "no viable alternative to Reddit".

This and the overwhelming number of comments being "against the mod protests" just prompts me to question whether there isn't some brigading being organized straight from the Reddit HQ.

Lmao, who cares what they think?

But also, Lemmy isn't ready, which isn't a bad thing at all.

What it is, is viable. And that should scare the shit out of reddit

My biggest issue with Lemmy is lack of userbase... which is fixable by signing up for Lemmy.

Figured best case scenario other people make the switch, worst case I'll forget this service even exists.

Also does anyone know how to enable dark mode, or if there is a dark mode?

I use jerboa for Android and it has TWO dark modes ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

In case you happen to need sunglasses at night?

Now I'm singing "I wear my sunglasses at night..."

Working as intended.
