The main feature is that you’ll never have problem with too few or no seeders again, and everything will be fast always, and no one will ask or expect you to seed. Some have retention period on the content for like a decade.

Looking good from here.

Edit: And comment rapidly going through. :)

It’s almost like we’re talking to a normal human being rather than an evil overlord.

This is why their moderators’ best weapon is to not moderate and let all hell break loose. Reddit will then be forced to pull this shit and it’ll go to hell fast. It’s their best weapon, better than going NSFW or dark in protest. Just silently stop moderating and let Reddit and advertisers notice when they aren’t.

Maybe they could run a convoy of vehicles to Steve’s home and threaten him with destruction if there is no leadership change and see how that goes.

Yes, explosive growth and it’s a bit of a miracle we can post here right now.

Pledged on their $5/month tier on their Patreon page now. That’s the least I can do given what I understand they’re going through right now. :D

I think this is not the great IPO advertisement they were looking for…

Yeah I think during design, they sometimes forget and use terminology that makes sense out of a federation perspective rather than newcomers. “Local” could as well have been named “This Server” and it would be much more clear.

New communities often do and you gain all those benefits from being smaller where the general atmosphere is a bit friendlier and more helpful as people are invested and want to make it happen. :) That’s honestly part of why I jumped ship to here now. At 100K users we’re starting to reach critical mass here where of all these users, it trickles down a few dozens at least into more or less niche Lemmy communities.

Some growth pains but I’m managing. :) When I upvote, it looks like the vote is undone after a few seconds but it looks like it actually sticks when I reload the page. Same with commenting. Looks like it takes a long while even if it in reality happens more quickly. I think there are some issues with their websockets code or something but the important thing is that it works. :)

Yes, the real time stuff is actually intentional. It’s just that it all fell apart with the massively inreased activity. Then it’s not as fun with real time activity… But hopefully Lemmy 0.18 will come with some strongly needed updates.

It’s so crazy how mods find it that important to re-open within a week. I mean. Why? Why even do it fairly soon? They don’t see a penny by running the subreddits themselves.

It was the same for me at Bluesky. I rarely actually post because it was like entering a party that had already begun, and you had those cool guys that already knew each other mingling! But Lemmy World has a different tone to it haha, I’m sure that will help. #WalleyWorld
