Friendly reminder that lemmy is still being actively developed. There will be many performance improvements in the future, as well as UI and whatnot. Stick around, create content and engage with your communities.

Good. It is important to have different instances to distribute the load though. However, I hope there are not many people joining BeeHaw...

I agree with the other comments that stated that you should be the change you want to see in the world..

Lemmy does need a lil bit more content now. Engage with the users. Create posts and create comments. This is the future bro. A platform hosted by the users, for the users. You are not buying a yacht for anyone by using lemmy. On reddit however.. You use reddit and someone else gets to buy a new house..

Oh wow. That is just vile from them.

I would love to see some specific examples of the so called "trolls" from lemmy.world that trolled them. But defederating an entire instance, nearly 20k users, due to the actions of very few users just seems extreme.

join-lemmy.org should probably add the info that beehaw is very strict in their decentralization/federation, so much so that they are becoming just another walled garden.

This is not to say that I agree with low-effort content, trolls or alt-right people. They should be blocked and even possibly banned. But this should be done on an individual basis. They categorizing an entire instance as "unworthy". We have names for these kind of generalizations.

So it seems like lemmy is still improving in content, even though the reddit situation has stabilised. That is awesome to see!

I checked the about page and damn.. It is a for profit company and quite a big team! It consists of 26 people (!) to build a terminal... It is probably going to be a subscription at some point.. Not for me.

There is lemmyverse.net

Once it is released, you can use aurora store to install the app. Boost will never be released on fdroid, since it is not open source and I doubt it will ever be.

Guys, now use boost to create content on lemmy! That is what is missing in lemmy. Comment and create posts!

There is Thunder: https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder. You can upvote/downvote, reply and whatnot by doing side-swipes. Pretty neat.

I think signal is really only missing usernames (which should come soon) as far as features are concerned. And sadly, I don't think it will change much. I think signals problem is not really feature wise but adoption wise.

Signal needs more marketing. It needs a bigger user base. And I honestly don't know how to change that. Maybe some really top notch marketing strategy, with beautiful diagrams and text of some made up scenarios explaining the perils of using Instagram and whatsapp..

I would love if third party apps added a banner linking to Lemmy. That would be great.

I don't have an answer to you but if you like this sort of discussions/topics, I highly recommend the book Behave by Sapolsky.

I hate complexity. A few years ago, I wanted to add some feature to some personal code of mine. But I just couldn't figure out how to do that without rewriting a significant portion of it to allow for that. There was another feature (let's call it feature 2) that just added so much complexity to the code that made things hard. I had an absolute stroke of genius: Just delete feature 2. This probably sounds stupid but I felt like a goddamn genius. Just deleting something solved all my problems.

Really? I feel like they have worsen their numbers after disabling sms support. I had a few people with whom I could chat on signal. They all moved away. I now have 0 ppl. I still have it installed but ya..

Lemmy.world is ran by a pro. Dude runs one of the most used mastodon instances. The fact that Programming.dev is stable while .world is not quite so, is purely due to the amount of users. Get 80k on this instance and you will see what happens..

I agree with this sentiment. Having reminders that things can still improve is good, as long as it moves us to action now.

Fck. This is me. Jesus. Keep busy!

Science. I find /r/science to be one of the best subs in reddit. Not perfect, but one of the best. It would be great if those with a science background moved to lemmy.

Are these 60% of all subreddits or 60% of the subreddits that made the claim that they'd be going dark?
