I signed up and then went to bed. I'm assuming the world took that as a sign and followed me. Or perhaps I should cut down on the hard drugs, idk

Seems like reddit just fresher. Not clogged up with all the bullshit. Also I feel like I'm on the ground level of a reddit competitor that seems to be protected from corporate bullshit.
It's snowballing. A few friends tell a few friends, and so on, and so on, and so on...
Reddit's meltdown
gaining critical mass?
This is my first post, I just signed up. I was on reddit from the early days. I liked it then a lot more. This has that feel. I also like that it is open source - hopefully that will bring more developers.
Keep in mind too that the expiration date for many of the mainstream third party Reddit apps is June 30
Just think of the spike in users when that rolls around in 10 days

I'm here now trying to get ahead of it.

Oh, that must have been me.
Ljdawson said he was making sync for Lemmy so I signed up
It's the way tech disseminates into the world.
If you've been here for a month or more, you're a first adopter and the true heroes of our cause. You take up what makes no sense to -- what is untested and will likely be a waste of time.
These people then tell the early adopters, which is what you are if you've been here for a couple weeks.
Once we got on board, we told all our friends who join, and then the whole thing keeps snowballing.
Of course, Lemmy really has Reddit to thank for making us all balk enough to take a look at fediverse stuff. Mastodon really didn't do it for me when I checked on it a couple years ago, but this is awesome and totally makes sense.
Playing around with Pleroma now so I can follow users here!

spez's continued jackassery. I made the switch about 24h ago.
The post by the Apollo creator was the final nail for me. It really laid everything out there pretty well. Let it go be Tumblr somewhere

I joined a couple days ago. I decided to just sign up and jump in. Everyone else doing it, why can't I?
Everyone figuring out /u/spez is full of shit
Some of the big things that happened in the past 24h or so:
- r/LegalAdviceUK wants to move their 800k+ community to another platform. Their members might be testing Lemmy.
- Apollo developer posted another lengthy post about Reddit and their leadership.
Also r/ModCoord has started recommending moderators to move their communities to other platforms, like Lemmy.
Do you have a link to the new post by the Apollo dev?
I heard about it through a negative review of Reddit in the AppStore and decided to check it out. Reddit permanently banned me for “abuse of the report function” though I had only reported a few things in my many, many years on the site. Then they proceeded to ban my entire family’s accounts because we share an IP address. Right after all of that, the news about third party apps came out and here we are.
I hope Lemmy continues to grow!
