They could really do with better explanation of the federated servers before people sign up. I did do a little research before I knew which instance to use
Well, that's why open source is so powerful - everything can (and, in fact, should) be done by community for community
Usually developers aren't good writers :)

The amount of people has increased, even within the last few days, a bigger community is always better, but I'd like us to keep the same optimistic and appreciative attitudes we all seem to have at the moment, that would really make it so much better than Reddit
That's why I'm here Obi Wan meme
And I'm happy to be here, my first comment on Lemmy!
Welcome aboard! This is one of my first comments. I hail from the land of Apollo. Cheers.
Same here! 12 years on Reddit and that idiot had to go and kill my app.
It was time. Reddit got overexposed and it kinda ruined it.
Excited to watch this website progress.

I really don't understand how people can still use reddit with a clean conscience especially after their treatment to Christian and other 3rd party developers. They've made it clear with their words and actions that they don't give a fuck about their users, so how can a respectful person still choose to stay? It was a lost cause since the beginning, the protests were never going to work. I appreciate the ones who've decided to abandon the ship and join us here.
People are desensitized.
Most services or products have some toe dipped in shady shit, so people have been forced to learn to reconcile with participating more or less in a least some unethical bullshit, just to have a normal life.
Want to have a t-shirt? Probably just supported slave labour.
Want to talk to a friend? Probably just sold you digital soul to a megacorp, and at least two foreign powers.
I get what you're saying and I also completely understand why people have become desensitised but there's nothing more dangerous than an apathetic society.
We can't end world hunger, but we can atleast feed a poor person. We can't end child labour, but we can atleast sponsor a child's education and basic necessities.
Just because we can't end it all doesn't mean we shouldn't try and contribute to make our society a better place in whatever way we can.
I agree, and its one of the reasons I push the people around me to think about how the world works more.
I can't fix everything, but I'm doing what I can, and I try to get the passive people I can get to, to snap out of it.
You said you couldn't understand these people, but it's possible. And doing so, is step one of getting through to them.

Your so right. All these things are because of capitalism. If we could tear that down we may get a chance to fix things. But as long as it exists the world will keep getting worse.

Welcome to Lemmy! Have an updoot.
Yup that's why I'm here lol
Was browsing Sync For Reddit a few minutes ago when it finally shut down. Just got the following notification:
Sync For Reddit has shutdown Thank you for using Sync. It's been one hell of a ride.
Man am I pissed, but I'm happy to be here now.

Joined today :)
A lot of people have already left ~~Reddit~~ Fuggit and moved to Fedi as we have seen over the past couple of weeks.
And those who are still sitting there, they are either in a dilemma and unable to make up their minds, or they live under a seriously big rock and have no idea what's going on with this API saga, and the Third Party Apps stopping to work on July 1 will be a nasty surprise for them.
In short, it's unlikely that they will overcome the surprise/dilemma in just a day and jump over to Lemmy immediately.
The Fuggit --> Lemmy migration will continue as it is today, but I don't think there will be a catastrophic spike on July 1.
I have to agree with this. It'd be nice to get another spike like we had last time, but I really doubt it. Sure, people may still come after the 30th, but not like the previous spike we had before.

You got that right. Transplant in the house.
If we keep informing people about them.
wefwef.app is the best rn imo; starting to feel like Apollo already.
I say people should keep pushing Lemmy apps in reddit until at least a week after Sync for Lemmy is out in a few weeks

Reddit Sync loyalist reporting for duty
There were 5500 users 4 day's ago.
Seems a good a thread as any for my first post. Exciting times. Reddit showing its true colours might well make the internet just a little bit of a better place if it helps the Fediverse take off.
I'm excited for everyone to see how much better Lemmy is. I'm really happy we have a good option outside of Reddit.
I'll admit I'm moving from reddit and don't yet understand what lemmy and the fediverse are all about. I'm currently using the Connect for Lemmy app. So far it feels like there's a lot less content here, or I have no idea how to find the popular instances/communities. Another small gripe I have is when I search for a community (eg. gamedev) there's multiple that seem to be about the same thing. I've subscribed to them all and I guess that's just the nature of decentralized communities but it certainly makes the user experience a bit less seamless.
Does anyone have tips on how to best utilize Lemmy?

Reporting for duty. From digg to reddit to lemmy. Still trying to figure this out. RIF is dead.
Yep, here i am
Glad to be here with all my fellow Reddit exiles! Losing Apollo was the last straw for me, and tonight I decided not to stick around for the eventual demise of the old Reddit website.
So, goodbye, Reddit (sniff).
And hello Lemmy app! You feel just like my old Apollo again!
Already here. Lol
15 years on Reddit, and now here. I've rarely felt the need to post anything at all, but will now. Hoping there is now a significant move of minds here.
