First post for me!

Sorry, I applied and got approved here. Still waiting to hear back from beehaw…

I’m really digging this UI compared to Reddit, but I am 99.9% a mobile user via the native Reddit app (don’t @ me!)

I am very tempted to setup my own instance. Wondering what resource usage looks like for an instance.

I’m not ditching Reddit, just here trying out alternatives.

How has your lemmy experience been so far?

Well… I’m scrolling and F5’ing as if I was on Reddit, so honestly doesn’t feel that different, yet.

Time will tell. Given Reddit’s behavior recently, alternatives like lemmy are bound to see a spike in users. Just keep in mind that more users doesn’t necessarily mean good content.

That’s, so sad. Apollo has so many users that are going to be heartbroken. Feel bad for Christian.

Well, my understanding is your user exists on whatever instance you signed up on. You could technically create users on every single instance, but that is not necessary. You only need one user to exist somewhere, and then you can subscribe to, and post to communities on other instances.

For example: from lemmy.ml, if you search for [email protected] you can then open the sidebar and subscribe to, and post to, the gaming community on beehaw.org with your lemmy.ml user.

![email protected] is not the same community as [email protected]

• Wow, wownoob, and other game specific subreddits.
• Star Trek, Star Wars, and other sci-fi movie/show related subreddits
• NFL team and other sports related subreddits
• Fantasy Football

Same here! I was starting to think my application was rejected. So I signed up here on lemmy.ml and was approved fairly quickly.

Possibly, but not sure I have the time… although I have been scrolling and f5’ing for a few hours now… 🤔

I haven’t heard anything either. They are probably slammed. 🤷🏻‍♂️

You can still subscribe to and post to their communities from here. You don’t actually need a user on beehaw.org

Open the hamburger menu, then click the search icon and put [email protected] in the search box and click search. You’ll then be able to look at that community from lemmy.ml, and in the sidebar you can subscribe. You can also up and downvote, comment, etc.

Replace gaming with whatever community you are trying to join. Also beehaw.org is just an example. You can “join” any instance that isn’t currently blocked by lemmy.ml AFAIK.

I’ve only been here a day or so, but having to search for the community doesn’t seem that bad? It’s almost exactly like searching for a subreddit to join.

/r/subreddit turns into !community@address, like [email protected]

And once you are on that community you can open the sidebar and subscribe (join in Reddit terms).

I’d wager a large percentage are bots, too!

Yup. That played a big role for me, too. The other factor was lemmy.ml was the first to approve my signup, finally giving me the ability to post. I’m still looking around to get a feel for other instances, and might even set up my own.

Yes, I saw the post on that, and given I am a software developer thought maybe I’d take a look, but figured someone else must be looking by now, hopefully.

Took a break from my Druid for Shadowlands. Picked up my Druid again, who has been my main for the majority of my time in WoW (since 2005?). So much fun in PVP!

Gratz on getting DF. It really is a great expansion. I can’t go back to “static flying” after DF.

What kind of resource usage are you seeing on your instance? I have a droplet running and was wondering about setting up my own instance.

Welcome aboard! Folks over on the /r/startrek subreddit were talking about finding a community on lemmy.

Yeah, I saw that too, but other places I signed up still haven’t approved me, so I signed up here.

Wait, for real? I need to go unlock the rest of them! I’m missing a few on the alliance side, and only have Vupera unlocked on the Horde side.

Oops… this us for 10.1.5.

Man… I really wish my signup on beehaw.org would get approved. I wonder if it has something to do with emails not going out?
