I'm trying to do my best to be somewhat active so people don't come in and have their first impression be positive

[–] zuu 15 points 2 years ago

Agree, wouldn’t want their first impressions being positive now. Sets a difficult expectation.

I just got here (literally my first post) and it's terrible. You're doing a great job 😂

Is /s a thing here?

I tried to take a break but it’s all too exciting. There’s a big influx of new users and more comments! I’m sure we’ll encounter lots of slow loading times, but so far it’s not so bad.

Posting a comment takes 20 seconds, I've seen a lot of duplicate comments from users, wondering if they are spamming the post button because it's taking so long.

It was hard to tell because trying to do anything either getting an error or just plain unresponsive eventhough the post/comment went through. Did that mistake a couple of times too. Have to had the web and the app opened to confirm with the post count on the profile page.

Can I get.. any of you cunts.. a drink?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Take car. Go to mum's. Kill Phil, grab Liz, go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over. How's that for a slice of fried gold?

After the server update things feel way better even with THE HORDES that arrived

indeed

there's a text on the front page saying "sorry for outages, there's a lot of signups right now" (or something to that effect)

It’s just Lemmy out here looking after our health and making sure we don’t get too addicted. W Lemmy

For the greater good.

Does that make us newbies the zombies?

Sorry. I didn't mean to say the zed word.

[–] j_miso 3 points 2 years ago

We all are. But you can always pull up a chair, hold up with us and have a tall one… I just want to be somewhere familiar, I want to know where the exits are, and I want to be able to smoke.

If you think Lemmy’s slow today, try using Twitter! That cesspool is barely functioning today.

Feels like I’m on dial-up again.

[–] j_miso 3 points 2 years ago

Dang, now I can hear the modem in my head.

You've got ~~red~~ Lemmy on you.

Go to lemmy, grab a handle

I created multiple accounts for this exact same thing! I wish there was a way to migrate profiles.
