The issue everyone is facing right now is we are expecting to immediately shift to a ready made alternative for Reddit in less than 2 weeks.

I mean Reddit happened over a course of 15 years. At least. Expecting to replicate the same diversity and engagements within 2 weeks is too much.

Right now the community is in 'move house' mode with lots of activity and excitement. It will all come to a calm once the shift is complete and we are all in our new home.

Then in the next few days... We will start hanging pictures and arranging the countertops(aka adding niche subs and improving engagements).

Perhaps what we need is a backup code or some kind of exportable file with all our data (subbed communities, interactions, yadda yadda) which we can port over to a new instance if necessary.

Thank you for this.

I just installed Connect. Soooo much better than Jerboa and the mobile browser. Actually a much closer experience to Sync than I would have thought.

And I am already contributing so much more cause the experience is that much better. Hearty recommendation guys

Sync is really gonna be a game changer in interaction.

Dad knew what he was doing.

An example within Reddit.

There are 5 different subs. Freefolk, Oldfreefolk and GameofThrones, asoiaf(A Song of Ice and Fire), pureasoiaf. All on the same subject matter.

Each has an active community serving a different need.

I am here now and I am sad for liftoff. It has been great. But Sync. Man.

Half and half.

Also, growth is exponential.

Its when it reaches a plateau aka once the dust settles, how much people remain engaged that matter.

I started redditing about 8 years back. After digg.

Leaving reddit is hard but I have generally enjoyed forums and lemmy is a fun new experience I haven't had in a while.

If anything, in 10 years I can do the whole 'I was here at the start' thing on the younglings.

Thanks for working so hard guys!

I am excited thinking about the next year.

Yeap.

For example, your comment is the first one I have seen that has over 30 upvotes since I came on board a week back.

It says I am blocked from using it. Any reason?

Feels a little monkey's paw but hey. If things work out then it was all for good.

Lemmy.world/lemm.ml have worldnews, news and game subs. Not sure about kbin.

Yeah. This is why I am here.

I am getting this.

I am a meat eater extraordinaire.

But Paneer is love. Will absolutely demolish it.

Was a reddit lurker for years and became a massive contributor.

I am looking forward to continuing thag momentum. Heh.

Everyone misunderstood his question.

He didn't ask how one searches IN Google. He asked how do they search Google, the entity. He clearly means to ransack the HQ in California.

Half and half.

Also, growth is exponential.

Its when it reaches a plateau aka once the dust settles, how much people remain engaged that matter.

It's a start I guess.

Right now the Lemmy community is in 'construction mode' moving houses from Reddit.

Before we get all our fancy stuff renovated, we need a couple of air mattresses to lie on the ground.

Connect can serve that.
