Just started exploring the Fediverse (Mastodon first as an exile from the 'bird that's no longer a bird' app and thought I'd have a look at Lemmy too. So far I must say I'm really enjoying them both!

Thank you for setting up the server. This sticky post and FAQ are very helpful for a newbie like me.

Looks like the rush is over, the total users number has flattened out according the-federation.info/platform/73. Probably a good thing since it was getting a bit hectic with the sudden demand. Anyway this instance is performing very nicely on desktop browser for me, very little lag or delay anywhere. It's a pleasant experience. Thanks to the admin for an excellent server, also nice you're on the latest updates.

Super excited to be here! Any suggestions for building my feed? Do I need to create accounts across multiple instances or can I subscribe to things across all using the search function?

Thanks for hosting this. Refugee from Reddit.

Thanks for being a haven for refugees. At the same time, do you know what kind of FREAKS you're taking in?

Looks like I joined the right place finally. Been looking for a good community since reddit killed itself.

Whatever you are doing, you're doing an incredible job at optimizing the instance. You are faster than my closest instances despite being half the world away. Thanks!

I'm a reddit refugee and after looking at lemmy instances to join for a week, I've settled on this because I like the admin policies and self regulation of content. Thank you for setting this up for everyone.

Yet another reddit refugee. Thanks so much for setting this up. Going to try and get as many people as I can to make the switch over from reddit!

How do I remove this pinned post from my feed?

How come there isn't a logo on the site?

Guess I'm a refugee

using this now

Hi there! Thanks for creating and maintaining all this, I really appreciate it! Really excited about the concept of the fediverse. Looking forward to my time here!

Ok, so this is my first time using lemmy, been about almost a week since I deleted the official reddit app. Was annoying with the ads, but what made me finally delete it, was it not respecting my wishes that I didn’t want notifications, constantly asking about it again. I used Apollo which was pretty great, but it would have been nice having the Sync app I had on android, there was just nothing like it. Now since July 1st I switched over to the official app, but that’s just bad. Hope I have a nice time here! They should fix logging in with the site, cause that just doesn’t work, having no effect when I log in. Luckily this works, am curious :)

When you delete a comment, can you also remove your username from that comment? I deleted some comments and it still showed my username on my end. Checked here in this topic if someone deleted their comment and someone has, but you can still see his/her username.

Fuck Reddit. First Lemmy post let's go!!!!

Came here after vlemmy got nuked.

Hi, I've been enjoying lemmy for the past couple of days. The only things that I miss from reddit is the grid view from the Shine for Reddit chrome extension and the multi-subreddit feature. I feel like making custom multi-communities threads would benefit lemmy tremendously to keep track of similar communities across all instances. Also I would like suggestions for VR communities as I currently can only find one. Also thanks for making this lemmy instance.

On behalf of all the refugees out there I can't thank you enough for creating this instance. I was shocked that subreddits with millions of followers, were willing to shoot themselves in the foot and jeopardize their userbase and the years information they contained just to play slackivist. It got to the point that I couldn't use reddit because of my subs were privated. If people really want to stick it to the man at RedditHQ, leave. Reddit was supposed to be about the people and the community. I guess we forgot about...

Enough about that, thank for making a place for us Reddit expatriates and refugees.

I just created my account here, my main account is from Lemmy.world, but as it is a good thing to spread on the Fediverse (and also Lemmy.world is struggling to keep alive because of diverse reasons) I created an account in another instance and this one.

My biggest concern right now is the .ee domain, wouldn't this be a problem for not that popular domains to end up like lemmy.fmhy.ml did?

I mean, it seems like a very unusual scenario, but yet I could never see this happening to .com or .net domains.

Thanks for the instance! What is this instance's stance on privacy? (for example, do you intend to keep logs indefinitely, and do you only keep the minimum data necessary to run the service)

As mannnyyyyy before me have already said, I too am a New Lemmy'er? ( How does one refer to users of Lemmy? Lol!) Refuge from Reddit. I was a long time adopter of the Boost app, which I just saw the dev announce that he plans to make a Lemmy app! (Woohoo!)

Been on Reddit for nearly 10 years, but looking forward to this new adventure and fresh beginning.

Hello, so for some reason there isn't a "show NSFW" option in the settings? I don't really subscribe to anything for that, but I'd like the option to decide for myself in my subscriptions. I'd this just an error on my part?

Hello! Looks good here! Looking forward to a great future!

Just joined today and am excited for lemm.ee!

Looks like a stable and fast platform.

Hi!

I created an account here after struggling for weeks on .world. I sincerely hope they can figure out all the issues because I still consider there my "home" for now ;)

What's the deal with this youtube_feed_bot? I've blocked the account but for newcomers to this instance that thing floods the local postings.
