I did just that, thanks! Everything is so much faster using that instance, wow.

Thanks! Can’t believe I missed that. Also, I didn’t know we had an aussie Lemmie server, sweet.
This would be lovely. Then once that functionality was working, we could create a Reddit-style front-page for new accounts that subscribed to a bunch of popular hashtags. That would really help to ease onboarding and make instances feel a bit less isolated.
Cool, I didn’t know we could embed images in posts and they’d show up inline. I wonder how long that will last, haha.
Same experience here, I checked out Mastodon and was impressed with the fediverse and open nature of everything, but the style of social media just didn’t gel with me. Not surprising as I was exactly the same with Twitter.
I was literally saying “someone needs to make Mastodon for Reddit” before I discovered Lemmy!
I feel like a lot of the discussion on here at the moment is obviously focused on Lemmy itself and Reddit, but that’s not surprising given the huge influx of new users.
Looking forward to the various communities and platform itself maturing. The first time I’ve been optimistic about social media in years, haha.
I imagine a lot of the early adopter Reddit refugees are web/mobile devs. Perhaps it’s worth putting a callout to them specifically to help out on the various GitHub projects if they’re looking to contribute?
I think I’m on Lemmy for the long haul - I like the fediverse decentralisation. The hardest part of Reddit to abandon will be the search results on Google, but perhaps we’ll see something similar with Lemmy in a few years if it picks up steam.
