I find it so wonderful I’ve come back for the first time since last year. It’s rekindled my belief in Lemmy as a viable platform in the fediverse and I’m even considering reactivating my lemmy instance.

I used it the day before the blackout to set up an account and see how it all worked. I went from this could be a good alternative to WOW this could be a great alternative once the UI weirdness and bugs are fixed and more apps are released/polished. It’s definitely a viable alternative. The amount of posts/engagement is great now!

Yes. I believe many more people will come here.

I'm happy to see the positive responses! I've been worried about the natives being pissed off by the unwashed hordes. I hope it stays this way.

I have been on Lemmy for a couple of years and I am very happy about the influx.

I think Lemmy (and kbin) have a lot of potential and just need more attention from users, mods, developers and other organizations;

  • There are a lot of private forums and comment sections for News/review/blog websites. Theoretically they could have comments on articles federated and made available on Lemmy/Mastodon.
  • The markdown format seems somehow better than reddit and we are starting to see really high quality posts like this one
  • hopefully some more integration with mastodon happens so that lemmy users could comment on someone's mastodon post or something similar.
