Both were down for me before, they seem to be up right now but just made this account on Lemmy.blahaj.zone (Henry is the name of my actual blahaj lol). It's probably because of the traffic influx from reddit refugees from the absolutely disastrous spez ama (where he doubles down on everything and doesn't apologize at all)....
So far I'm really enjoying Lemmy, both the website and Jerboa! But I'm still getting used to the whole federation thing. It's really weird to get used too. Also there seems to be fewer communities/subreddits. I'm missing specific interests...
But the concept is great! I'm excited to be on a open source social network. The mainstream ones are so unethical.
I'm thinking about it got I'm just so inexperienced, and I'm mostly a lurker. I'm trying not to be on Lemmy though. It's kinda more fun actually engaging with Lemmy than it was with Reddit
I put my name forward to moderate if help is needed. I was a 10+ year user on Reddit and have moderated some of my own, albeit low user, subreddits before....
I’m also a willing volunteer. I’m also a reddit migrant. I was on Reddit well over a decade but now I’m determined to make Lemmy my new social network of choice. I’d love to volunteer for any communities that need help.
hey folks, as you may have noticed we have a lot of new users and a lot of new activity, and with Reddit's... interesting decisionmaking in the past 14 days we're not expecting that to ebb. however, we're currently just 4 people + some very helpful volunteers, and we can't have eyes on everything. so, we're taking mod...
I'm really excited about the opportunity! Hopefully they'll accept me!
Do I need a beehaw account or will this one from lemmy.ml work? I also accidentally made a beehaw account trying to figure out how the fediverse works so I can do that too.
Im joining in on the reddit ditching thing, and was kinda worried at first that i wouldnt be able to like use it the way i did reddit as it feels like a whole new place, but after engaging with posts and people and actually being a part of lemmy rather than being lurk mode all the time i was pleasantly surprised with how easy it...
Lemmy.ml and beehaw.org getting hammered with traffic because of spez ama
