This is mystifying to watch.

I'm liking it, and anticipating its growth -- with both trepidation and excitement. It's unpolished but I don't mind that all too much. Trying to engage as much as I can.

I leave for like two days and shit’s going on without me

Definite NO.

:/ I was worried about the bot wave that would come as Lemmy grew. Sucks and I hope there's a good resolution on the horizon.

I also wasn't born early enough to experience the rise of Internet forums. I was a late Reddit adopter, only jumping on in 2020. It is fascinating and exciting to be experiencing this in real time. Even if this isn't an instant and drastic shift, it's still a part of Internet history in the making.

Oh, hooray! I was hoping something like this would pop up!

Ach, ich habe Deutschland noch nicht besucht. Meine Familie komme nicht aus Deutschland. Aber Düsseldorf, wie interessant!

History in the making, baby!

I'm a little hesitant for big growth, came with the first wave of Redditors back when the news was fresh, but I'm trying to be optimistic. More people means more content, after all.

I also miss the niche subs, and ngl also my snoovatar, he was a nice little guy.

In 2010, Digg updated their site to v4, and that didn't go over well with a lot of people. Tons moved to Reddit. I wasn't there, so this is just a very short rundown.

I want to hug him. So bad.

Danke!

Sorry for late response -- Mlem has no notifications to my knowledge atm -- I've noticed that as well. It's good for getting my exposure to the language up.

Looks awesome, thanks!

“‘Animal cruelty’ feels like too soft a term to describe what they are going through” Torture. They’re torturing these birds. God.

Yeah, it's so cool being able to snag a simple username.

Surprisingly I haven't ever had this happen to me. Probably just jinxed it though.

Such a cutie.

Mine goes on the patio (fenced and meshed off, can‘t escape) and we used to let him out to the courtyard supervised — until he got used to being let out, escaped, and got lost for a day, scaring the living daylights out of us.
