I’m not sure how to make a link to communities so that it works for everyone sorry
r/piracy with a message to use lemmy:
The rust subreddit is apparently considering moving to Lemmy:
r/programming is private even though I think a lot of the mods were reddit employees, I think even u/spez. what is going on lol
I am on both and kbin seems less active.
Perhaps the numbers are counted different?
lemmy might be counting people who have posted this month and kbin might be counting anyone who has visited the site.
Big respect to all the devs for handling this growth so well.
There was talk of someone populating a Lemmy instance with reddit data.
There is a lot of reddit data on a torrent somewhere aparrently.
https://programming.dev/ is a programming focused server. It has communities for a few different languages. It’s not too popular yet but I hope it will be in the future.
ahhh thank you!
@[email protected] is the creator I believe.
not sure if that is the right way to @ some so here is their profile:https://feddit.de/u/derivator)
This is really cool and deserves more attention!
It’s because of market conditions. Low interest -> Companies spend money and chase growth High interest -> Companies try to monetize users
Might be worth pointing people towards https://sh.itjust.works/ as they don’t have too much users yet and the admin claims to have a lot of compute at their disposal.
Yep, I think this dam also supplied water to Crimea so it might indicate that Russia doesn’t think they can hold Crimea in particular.
I don’t really think Lemmy.ml will have very good retention of new users. Because:
So it is not surprising that new users will get turned off by this and leave (or move to beehaw).
No, jerboa isn’t filtering anything. They mean they don’t have access to some beehaw communities because beehaw isn’t federating with Lemmy.world.
I don’t know why they are saying this though considering they are in the programming.dev instance
