Lemmy and Mastodon are like “PBS” social media.
“This is brought to you by people like you.”
Welcome to the fediverse everyone
It’s like our own Reddit but with blackjack and hookers
and without fascist rules like banned keywords nazi Luigi etc, fuck reddit
DOZENNNNNSSSSSS
Welcome to Lemmy. Here’s your Molotov, the guillotine is just down the hall. First left.
Let’s be real, we ain’t touching grass, let alone take action.
Actually I volunteer in a community centre
Honestly I’d expect more action for Lemmy than left leaning Reddit accounts just cause people here have taken steps to make a difference
Speak for yourself, friend!
We never said they’re real.
Yes, of course, strictly in Minecraft.
we are
legionsquad.
Showed as white on white on my UI, so here’s the picture below.
A few pointers for new joiners:
Is there a reason why you’re promoting !ask@lemm.ee now? Ask Lemmy communities already exist on both .world and .ml, creating another community seems kinda counterproductive to me.
Feel free to have a look at !fedigrow@lemm.ee
Yeah, shows my image editing fu. Thanks for pointers! I did do a search but turned out my fu is not particularly strong there either…
No worries, thank you for this post, it’s nice to welcome people from Reddit!
This is perfect tho, it outs light mode creatures as the monsters they are. /j
White theme? Oh god, how do you not… you know…
steve holt!!
Just be warned, those dozens are all actually one person.
It’s me. I just enjoy talking to myself so much I made lemmy
Well, I didn’t expect us to have an existential crisis today, but here we are.
That’s okay, we’ll get past it again
Are you Drone Rights?
And blaze, and db0, and descalines, and ada and pugjesus, I’m everyone. I’m even you
Dessalines is a Drone Rights alt? Makes sense.
Obviously! We’re all a little conflicted inside this brain, but we get by
Hey me, it’s you!
He is I and I am him
Slim with the tilted brim, what’s my motherfuckin’ name?what’s my motherfuckin’ name
Excuse us?? It’s OUR motherfuckin’ name too!
za-ba-do-hiiiiii-hi-hi
Dozens of dozens of dozens of dozens of dozens… 112,744 to be inexact…
Lemmy Total Users by Day: 1,352,936 for 3/12/25.
Divided by 12, that’s 112,744 and some change… probably a couple of baker’s dozens in there…
Looks like ~53k monthly active users, I think that’s a better stat, since it doesn’t include people making new alts and abandoning their old accounts.
Then that’s 4,416 dozen, give or take a baker.
But all in all, I’d say that lemmings are much more active than Redditors - just based on responses to my posts and comments. I’ve earned 15k karma on this account, far more than any of my vastly older reddit accounts. Take that for what you will, but I’ve personally found the community here much more active, especially as of late.
Content quality is drastically better too.
I’m loving it already! And…I’m not scrolling through ads too!!
Every time I end up on Reddit the amount of ads makes me recoil. You’re free now!
Reddit has ads? I use Librewolf/Firefox with uBlock so I didn’t notice, lmao.
Back with the API fiasco is when I stopped using Reddit because there’s no way I’m using the official app with the amount of ads there are
This is my first post, on my first day here, and it feels pretty good.
It’s kind of a rush picking a username knowing most are still available.
So tasty names still available
(There always will be many good names available since every name can exist once on every instance)
UltraGiGaGigantic2 is still available
and the best part is that if a name is taken on one instance you can just try another!
I know! I hadn’t even thought of that until I saw someone’s was like “mee” and now I need to get another account. It’s like how people get caught off guard when I tell them my 20 year old email is just my name with no numbers or special characters.
Nicknames are per instance so your favourites are always available somewhere.
Welcome!!
Here, have some beans.
We don’t do pay-a-social-media-ceo-to-win around here, we do beans. Practical, eatable, 100% all natural digital beans.
Some other users may be able to gift you a proper lemmy kilmister commerative gold token, but I don’t have the jpg.
EDIT: oh right, a possibly useful warning:
About a month or two ago, lemmy seems to have attracted its first mass spam bot, dming thousands of users with basically a phising email.
If you get a message from ‘Fediverse Chick’, that’s not her, someone stole her image, just block the user.
Or come discussing her at !nicole@feddit.org
The tankies have been notified. I expect you will receive a proper welcoming in the not so distant future.
Oh god, oh no. Hide yo kids, hide yo wife…
Welcome in.
Welcome. I think you will like it here. We’re kind of like reddit except we aren’t trying to make money from you, or your content. And we are more likely to follow the golden rule. And swear. Lots of swearing.
and we don’t limit or kill 3rd party app support, but rather support them, and even have a page about apps for lemmy which are, 3rd party
It took every person on this platform to get us to 600. Bots I’m calling on your power.
BuT WherES aLL My KaRMA?!? /s
fucking happy to be here!
Maybe I’ll updoot, maybe I’ll downdoot who knows? You don’t have to worry about internet points here
Here. You’ve got four of it.
Reporting for duty.
