I can completely understand why they did but it really sucks that it had to happen. Hopefully, as the Fediverse grows, better tools are made available so instances don't need to defederate from each other.

With that said, I think it's a pretty amazing concept that they can. Terrible, sure, but nonetheless amazing.

I also wasn't aware that other instances vetted their users? This was the first one I picked. Is there a plan to address the issues beehaw brought up?

Ruth Gator Binsburg?

Is this the part where we seize the means of production and eat the rich? Because I'm here for it.

Okay but if we eat the rich, I'm here for it

This seems to be new frontier for a lot of users. Lemmy is like Reddit in a lot of ways but so much different in so many more ways. As new users, we're pretty much guinea pigs (or lemmings, I guess) and I imagine there's going to be a lot of this in the weeks to come.

Would have been nice to get a little more experience under my feet before having to deal with this

This is experience! If Lemmy works out, we'll be able to say we helped pave the way!

Boost for Reddit was the best 3P app and I'll fight anyone who says otherwise! Hopefully, we'll be seeing a Boost for Lemmy clone in the app store soon.

The Sid the sloth vibes are real

My understanding is (and if I'm wrong, someone please correct me) instances/servers are like little towns with their own communities. But you're not limited to just your town and your communities. You're free to visit any town and join any of their communities.

I'm sure it's much more convoluted than that, this was just my simple understanding of it.

Replying with Boost for Lemmy and immediately paid for ad free! Happy to make occasional donations for my favorite app

It was either that or just get absolutely buried under the thousand other voices. I'm sure 80% - 90% of my comments were never seen.

I've done more commenting in this post today than I have on Reddit all year

If it makes you feel better, I'm like 90% sure this is staged

I've commented once already that I hope the influx of new users helps the development of Jerboa and/or encourages other developers to build on Lemmy.

It would be nice seeing Lemmy is Fun/Boost for Lemmy/Sync for Lemmy clones popping up.

I deleted Boost for Reddit. That's about the only way I liked it. Now all I need is Boost for Lemmy.

Of all the cats I've ever seen, this is definitely one of them!

Seriously though, that's a nice fucking kitty right there

Come a day, we'll all end up back on Fark and the cycle will repeat itself.

If it was turning into a shithole before all the people that actually care about the site left, just imagine what it will be like in the coming weeks now that we’re gone.

i don't know why this made me lol but it did

With the recent news of Nintendo trying to block emulators on Steam, I got the itch to play some GoldenEye 007. It's way harder than I remember it being.

Of course, that might just be because I always played the easiest difficulty when I was younger and/or the fact that modern controls just kinda suck with N64 games, but whatta ya gonna do, y'know? 🤔

Not related at all, but it's a funny feeling having signed up to one of the smaller servers and seeing it mentioned, being like "that's where I'm from" insert Leonardo DiCaprio pointing meme

I honestly mostly picked that one because of the name: shit just works

Thanks! The people at r/sffpc were super helpful, I'm hoping that carries over here. I've never moderated a community before, so I'm happy to see it grow. I'll probably start a thread for resources eventually, so keep an eye out if you want advice for parts and cases!
