lemmy.world just reached 1000 users.

Please remember that the server was created June 1st! So still might notice some startup issues… but so far so good! Welcome @all!

        Yes but I actually liked Kevin, I enjoyed all the side video podcast and skits they did on the side.

        And slashdot before that. Narwhals and whisky and all that. But we don’t talk about usenet. And here we are again.

        PS it’s way too easy to accidentally block people on here. And then I had to go to a deeply buried settings page to unblock you again.

          Thanks for the unblock. And hey, you learned something new. I’m actually thinking of going back on Usenet.

        Great thing about fediverse, maybe @ruup goes full blown tyrannical, we can go over to another server.

        If it’s possible to build perpetual social media, this is how it would look

    Is this where the cool kids are hanging these days? (Just joined as a refugee from that other place)

    That’s great! I remember just a few days ago that it had only 100 users, it’s growing quickly!

    Just noticed lemmy.world is now 1 of the 4 instances recommended on join-lemmy. Congratulations on that too!

    It seems a bit laggy to me, but that’s hardly surprising. I hope we can form a good little community of outsiders here! 👍

      Can you tell me what’s laggy? Only thing I noticed is the ‘Post’ or ‘Reply’ that takes too long.

        Pretty much everything has a bit of lag on my end. Not complaining, I understand why, just letting you know.

        The post thing is weird. Even when I’m on lemmy.world, but post on communities from other instances it seems pretty fast. But posting on a local community is slow. Very weird. Locks on a table somewhere?

        I’m still taking some time to post but it’s certainly better than before your upgrade.

        EDIT: Still ~10 seconds or so for this comment.

            The first thing I commented this morning seemed faster but of course once I mention it I jinx myself and it’s about the same as it was, for me anyway. Doesn’t bother me too much though, I know it’s a new thing and a learning curve for everybody.

            I’m a noob at this but could the distance between the user and the server location have an effect? Of course the latancy shouldn’t be 10 sec but if there is some wonky routing going on idk. As I said I’m very nob at this

      Yeah the server was just installed June 1st. Growth is crazy.

      (But I’ve seen crazier with mastodon.world, which had 4000 new users per hour at the peak…

        There is still time to see that sort of growth on here, particularly when reddit goes dark next week or shortly after that

    Just made a new general Star Wars community! I have no idea how to grow something like that, so any Star Wars fans come on over and help!
