    It’s all good I’m still mostly getting 1 upvote, similar to reddit

    My account here is 4 years old. I was so excited to learn about Lemmy back then, but the user base was painfully low. I’m getting that same excitement I had back then.

    Please new people, make this your permanent home and forget Reddit!

      Yes, I’m very proud of the Reddit community for several times over the years mass-recommending open source and federated options.

      It’s honestly been amazing to witness, it’s still got a ways to go before it’s anything like mainstream but still

          back in my day there was only one thread with hundreds of comments. Kids these days have it easy.

            Yep, ‘back in my day’ you could finish reading everything posted that day. I’m glad it’s kicked off!

      I jumped on a week ago. The change in that time has been totally insane! I went from being able to scroll for an hour maybe for the first few days, to now, it’s developing into a full blown doom-scroll addiction…

      Same boat. It’s kind of amazing, you can literally watch the userbase grow with popular entries getting more and more general upvotes.

    I feel nostalgic in advance for having stumbled on an inside joke that I was almost around early enough to be on the inside of but can nevertheless clearly project myself there.

    I joined a year ago and it’s crazy, i remember getting excited over 20 upvotes, that AMA and the whole 3rd party fiasco really brought a lot of people here!

      Yeah, u/spez being a terrible CEO/person might be the best thing to happen to the fediverse. I tried Mastodon a few months ago but the community wasn’t big enough to get me hooked. I joined Lemmy earlier this week and I really like the community that’s developing here.

    My first comment was the most upvoted comment on a subreddit. I got 19 upvoted.

      People are just much more supportive and friendlier here. But I guess because we are in a state now before all the assholes join from reddit…

        I really hope that won’t be the case. So far I like Lemmy and the vibe here a lot and am not afraid to comment somewhere which was the case on Reddit. I hope it stays that way, guess we’ll see that after the blackout.

        Maybe it’s just me but Mastodon seems still way friendlier than Twitter, I guess partly to do with the people but also the platform structure that seems to have less incentive to attack people. Hope it’s the same for Lemmy.

    I remember before federation was an implemented feature and there were like 5 instances that couldn’t talk with each other. I feel old now.

        Wait is there a specific Lemmy person? Because I initially though that this site was some Motorhead fan page that evolved into a reddit alternative lol lol. Im so old.

          From their Github:

          Why’s it called Lemmy?

          • Lead singer from Motörhead.
          • The old school video game.
          • The Koopa from Super Mario.
          • The furry rodents.
