I’m glad that people here are actually sane.

Speak for yourself.

The only real solution is to use rockets to nudge the Earth into a slightly faster orbit so it can be an even 365.

Yes English is tough, though through practice comes understanding.

I know this is just anecdotal, but I have literally not seen a single mention of Lemmy anywhere online or in the news in the last 3 months, including on Reddit. "Build it and they will come" only gets you so far...

Let's put things in perspective. Lemmy.world currently has a "whopping" 127k users. That's fewer users than the moderately successful niche subreddit I created on Reddit has, which is just one of several thousand subreddits over 127k in size. Not to mention the tens of thousands of Instagram, youtube, facebook, tiktok, etc., pages with more than 127k subscribers. Saying lemmy.world has "a lot of power" at this point seems like a real stretch to me.

It means Reddit is paying to store the image instead of lemmy.world

Green color means it's healthy.

Most people have jumped onto lemmy.world instead of spreading out.

The main reason I chose lemmy.world is because I wanted to set up a community and my account on an instance that seemed less likely to disappear. I suspect that's the reason for many others as well, though it might end up being a false hope. Who knows...

The ale will no longer be Indian or pale.

I still have the community I moderate (!fitandnatural@lemmy.world) set to mod posts only, because I'm the only mod and don't want to risk someone posting something bad while I'm not on Lemmy. We really need an approved user feature like Reddit so that vetted community members can also make posts in communities where "anyone can post" isn't a good option.

The best is when you try to do that with one of the numbers on a check.

I agree that would be nice to have. There's "Trending communities" on the main page, but I soon realized they coded that section as "today's activity level vs. the average level", which means brand new communities with only one post and no comments were being shown as "trending" since today's activity is infinitely more than the average for a community that didn't exist before today.

FInally, something I'm in the 1% of.

Good old & amp ;

Just looking at the current number of lemmy.world subscribers (115k) , lemmy is very, very far from where it needs to be for long term success as a real alternative to other social media sites. There are literally hundreds of subreddits on Reddit that have more subscribers than all of lemmy.world, which is the largest instance. So far the only place I've ever seen lemmy mentioned is on Reddit, and even then only in certain subs like r/CenturyClub, which isn't even public. I think the key to getting new suscribers is for people on twitter, instagram and facebook to start mentioning lemmy on a regular basis and using clickable lemmy links in their posts.

It is indeed. A Norway lemming to be exact.

I just noticed the extra "when" in the title. Makes it extra shitposty I guess. :\

Ping pong.
