lemmy.ml is overloaded, use other instances instead
This site is currently struggling to handle the amount of new users. I have already upgraded the server, but it will go down regardless if half of Reddit tries to join....
r/RedditAlternatives doesn't like a Reddit Alternative (lemmy.ml)
Do your part, try not to lurk!
Right now the user count Lemmys is comparatively tiny when held up against reddit - but the user count isn't the thing that makes a social media site, it's the engagement...
Is not that god damn hard. (lemmy.ml)
Which subreddits would you most like to see on Lemmy?
I'm genuinely so excited to see some of the more focussed communities blossom on this platform as they have on Reddit over the years. Which are your favourites and which do you think could succeed here?
r/The_Donald now on Lemmy (edit: not anymore)
It was banned on Reddit because it is racist, hatefull and spread Conspiracies....
Lemmy enjoys growth as developers pivot from Reddit amid API charging controversy (alternativeto.net)
~~Almost~~ OVER 90% of the accounts on lemmy are now bot accounts!!
Here you can see 2 day old post warning about the danger of not using email/captcha verification: https://lemmy.ml/post/1345031...
my thoughts on lemmy so far
Just joined, and well, I'm thinking ill stay. Ive been looking for a good reddit alternative for a while now. devs, you've done quite some good work here.
Got to love Mastodon (files.catbox.moe)
LemmyWorld forced to close shitposting community due to CSAM spammers (lemmy.world)
They also shut down registration...
Protect. Moderate. Purge. Your. Sever.
Please. Captcha by default. Email domain filters. Auto-block federation from servers that don't respect. By default. Urgent....
Beehaw defederating from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works (beehaw.org)
Interesting bit of news for the threadiverse. All three of these are fairly large lemmy instances
Will this also affect lemmy.ml? (lemmy.ml)
How is Lemmy going to make money?
If the reddit exodus happens and Lemmy gets even 2% of reddit's daily active users, how will Lemmy sustain the increased traffic? I know donations are an option, but I don't think long term donations will be sustainable. Most users will never donate....
Can ActivityPub save the internet? (www.theverge.com)
Imagine a world without platform lock-in, where no ban or billionaire could take down your social network. That’s what ActivityPub has planned.
Does anyone else feel like Lemmy is getting SO MUCH better?!!
Just sayin’
exploding-heads are infiltrating our discussions (slrpnk.net)
The screenshot shows the recommendations from join-lemmy.org....
Fediverse troll creates pro-police community, immediately gets negative reactions from cop haters on Lemmy (lemmy.world)
!thankthepolice...
PSA: You can upload images to a Lemmy instance without anyone knowing
EDIT...
With the recent hack, there is now irrefutable proof of malicious actors trying to break Lemmy and steal user accounts. Please be careful about entering your password into random Lemmy apps!
I think for a while leading up to the recent session stealing hack, there has been a massive amount of positivity from Lemmy users around all kinds of new Lemmy apps, frontends, and tools that have been popping up lately....
[Refederated] Lemmy.world and Lemmy.dbzer0.com defederate from anime instance Ani.social (ani.social)
The comments section is ultimate drama. 😹😹
Why can't magazines/communities aggregate content from other instances?
When I look at https://lemmy.ml/c/startrek vs https://kbin.social/m/startrek I see two entirely different lists of posts. Why? It's the same topic, just on different instances. How can we have communities about topics without having them siloed into their own instance-based communities? Is this just related to that 0.18 issue...
Lemmy.ml is blocking all requests from /kbin Instances (kbin.social)
I discovered yesterday evening that Lemmy.ml is blocking all inbound ActivityPub requests from /kbin instances. Specifically, a 403 'access denied' is returned when the user agent contains "kbinBot" anywhere in the string. This has been causing a cascade of failures with federation for many server owners, flooding the message...
