dbzer0 looks like the best lemmy.world alternative to me. but with how beehaws mods are acting I couldn't care less about trying to access it

Damn, I've never actually used it but have heard good about it. Just another Firefox win though.

Luckily Lemmy is open source and a lot of new developers have started contributing to it.

You should check out lemmy.dbzer0.com if you haven't already. It's pretty useful;)

Just wait till the third party apps shut down tomorrow, loads of people will be rolling in here. Then when the RIF and Sync developers release their Lemmy apps (with the same names) even more people will come. If you want there to be content right now though just keep contributing to posts you see. The more content we make right now, the more likely it is for new users to stay,

Beehaw would disagree. I'm all for community with a focus on inclusivity but as far as I'm aware the mods of lemmy.world dealt with the problematic communities pretty quickly and people can also just not look at harmful communities or content and move on with their lives so they don't have to cut both groups off from the great amount of content on either instance.

Mistake #1, using chrome. Just switch to firefox ~~or brave~~ just use firefox

Stupidest shit I've ever heard. The goal should be to create a more positive environment that encourages real discussion instead of the toxic dumpster fire that reddit has become. Just engage positively instead. If you have something interesting to say people will respond and that will provide content for Lemmy.

I'm not in a position where I could host my own Lemmy instance but I can certainly see why. If you keep it private you can have access to the entire Fediverse without worries of defederation. You also have a lot more control over your data and can give friends and family access to the instance and help them out too.

I'm not super concerned right now but I'm definitely going to be dissapointed if I don't see it in the future. But I still get the joy of seeing this place grow since I joined a couple weeks ago

You were born for whatever reason you want. If you think you're here for spiritual or religious reasons, so you can make the world a better place, or for nothing, that's all ok. I personally believe I'm here for religious reasons but if you don't agree with that it's fine. There's no point in wasting time fighting over why we're here instead of spending what little time we have enjoying ourselves. Even if we don't have any purpose and are just going to dissapear back into the void we came from we just make it worse by sitting around doing and crying about it.
