Loving it so far. Only joined today and looking forward to seeing this grow and more content.

Took me a while to find a client i liked (wefwef) and understand how subscriptions with the fediverse works, but now that i do, it's a pretty awesome experience.

In donating monthly to the Mastadon.world Patreon and I couldn't be happier to be doing it.

Too much tankie bullshit.

Second biggest server is straight up Chinese Communist Party propaganda.

Out of habit, I log into reddit periodically if only to complete a conversation I was having there, but the official app is just so bad that I quickly log off.

Jerboa doesn't work with a few of the servers I use (minimum version not in place yet) but I like it better than connect. I wish connect would remember my current filter/view settings when I chose/open it.

Hoping that as more apps come online all that will work itself out though.

Content is still lacking. I hope it picks up, but I think things are perhaps too fragmented between kbin and lemmy type instances for things to fully take off. Hope I'm wrong though.

I worry about how things will look if it really does grow as a ecosystem - if various lemmy communities become the 'go to' place to be, spam and trolls will soon follow, and moderation will become a growing concern. Maybe that's the same as in reddit-land. Not sure.

This is a hugely significant week in the world of social media upheaval (Twitter with another catastrophic goal on its own net and Meta capitalizing, and Reddit completely mishandling its policy shifts). It is quite a thing to witness.

I can't tell if I'm doing something wrong or the apps just suck

just got banned from lemmy.world/c/world because they are anti-semites who won't even let people express their opinions there fuck that community other then that i like this place quite a bit, and i keep explaining it to new people.

Frankly, it's not doing much for me. I feel like the population here is looks like an IT team. Overwhelmingly male, largely white, largely het and cis. I've realized one of the things I liked about reddit was how much diversity of people there was.

Hey there!

I just wanted to take a moment to share my thoughts on Lemmy, and let me assure you, I'm not a robot, just a fellow human appreciating this amazing platform.

One of the things I absolutely love about Lemmy is its federated nature. It's incredible how Lemmy enables users to create and host their own instances while still being interconnected with the broader Lemmyverse. This decentralization allows for a diverse range of communities and perspectives to thrive, fostering a truly democratic and open environment.

I also appreciate the emphasis on privacy and user control. Lemmy respects users' data and privacy by not collecting personal information or tracking their activities. It's refreshing to be part of a platform that puts the power back in the hands of the users.

Furthermore, the community-driven nature of Lemmy is truly remarkable. Users can actively participate in shaping the platform by contributing to its development, suggesting new features, and engaging in meaningful discussions. It feels like a collaborative journey where everyone's voice matters.

Lastly, the open-source nature of Lemmy is a game-changer. It allows for transparency, innovation, and community involvement in the development process. The ability to explore the source code, contribute improvements, or even host a personal instance adds another layer of empowerment to the users.

In summary, Lemmy offers a unique and refreshing experience in the world of online communities. Its federated approach, emphasis on privacy, community-driven nature, and open-source philosophy make it a platform worth celebrating.

So, join me in embracing this incredible space where real humans come together to connect, share ideas, and build a thriving community!

Yours genuinely, [Your Name]
