It really feels like Lemmy is alive because of you.

When I first checked out Lemmy, I wasn't expecting there to be so much content, so much discussion, and so much community. But I've spent the better part of two days glued to my screen, browsing content all day. I've seen so many posts, so many interesting discussions about the fediverse, and of course, plenty of memes. It really feels like the start of something incredible.

I've gotta get back to work soon, but wow. I think this whole fediverse thing really is the next step for social media. If I find some extra time, I'll definitely consider contributing to Lemmy's source code to help this project and the FOSS ecosystem grow.

When I joined Lemmy one year and some months ago (the instance I'm talking from), this wasn't a desert, but this wasn't a living place either. Maybe I didn't subscribe to some communities, but I could see two or three new posts per day, with a couple of comments in the best case scenario. I didn't do my part either as much as I'm doing it now.

But now, between holding poop for 3 days, or eating beans, or the abundance of users on every instance, this is a neverending party, and I'm happy. I'm still not doing my part posting, but I comment very often. And I even have one account on two instances each (is that correctly said?).

With correct mods, with wholesome admins and with polite users, even disagreeing, these places will be forever my virtual home.

And thanks to all the people developing! Either Lemmy itself or all the apps to read it.

Shoutout to aeharding for wefwef. Not sure if I’d be sticking around if not for the Apollo-like experience they’re bringing to Lemmy!

Thanks so much!
