Welcome!

It sounds like you actually care about all of this. Thanks for making a refugee camp for us. Keep being professional about it and I’m sure you will nurture a great community.

Another Reddit refugee here - thanks for setting up this instance.

Thanks for setting this up, looks like there's an issue with the profile pic upload, returns a 400

Hello! I'm moving over from Lemmy.World due to federation issues and heard this place was better. Currently using the Connect app!

So I’m new to this whole decentralization thing. I’m using the Memmy app on my phone thru apples test flight. An example they used was lemm.ee is like our local post office, we send letters to our neighbor down the street but can also receive a funny letter from far away places like lemmy.world and lemmy.ml. Is that a good example?

Like lemm.ee is totally self sufficient from lemmy.world but I can still see their content

And one quick question. What makes a good server, because I just chose this one because it was at the top of a list when I made my account and I have no clue what I’m doing

Hello folks. I finally left Reddit after 12 yrs and I just want to say Thanks to the creator of this instance. I will take a look around for a while and will be participating soon. Cheers!

I am a reddit and now lemmy.world refugee. Things just seem to work here. Thanks!

I made an account here on lemm.ee but I can't login to any other lemmy instance (lemmy.world, beehaw.org, etc) and I thought it was supposed to be cross-login. Is it due to the influx of traffic from reddit that this is just not working as intended, or have I done something incorrectly?

Edit: Oh I see how it works. I can see content from all those other places if I go into Communities and then click All. Sorry for being a noob, I hope another noob sees this and learns!

Thanks for creating this instance! Reddit refugee here enjoying the discovery phase of what appears to be the new place. I was part of the digg migration to reddit over 11 years ago. The exodus from reddit to Lemmy feels similar. Using Jerboa for Android: so far so good.

Just created an account here! I've been on Lemmy since the Black Out, at lemmy.world.

However I wasn't happy with Lemmy.world admin decisions concerning defederation (They didn't want to preemptively defederate Meta but they did it with some socialist instance) and inconsistent uptime. Lots of people are recommending this instance, so I decided to move here!

Literally coming from reddit. This is a great first impression!

Just created an account here, hello everyone :)

Thank you so much! Recent events on Reddit have compelled me to explore alternative platforms, and I'm genuinely intrigued by the outcome. Will Reddit meet its demise? Will Lemmy flourish? It's incredibly fascinating to see what lies ahead. Additionally, I'd like to inquire about donating to your cause. How I can contribute to this Lemmy instance or support your efforts?

Nice work!

I was very close to buying the lemm.ee domain last week! I'm glad you got it and could put it to good use. I ended up going with a different domain (upvote.au) for my instance instead.

Ngl I joined this instance just because I think the logo is cute, with the e e as the eyes

Hello! Just a test comment, using Sync for Lemmy.

New members, after you’ve gotten acclimated, please consider financially supporting lemm.ee. This place is extremely well run and useful!

Things are much peppier over here than at the .world! 👍

Another Reddit refugee. I always feel facinated when discovering open source alternatives to things I use. Thank you!!

I like how you've set lemm.ee up, thinking of signing up. Out of curiosity, is not having any instance blocked a policy of sorts? I ask because I couldn't help but notice this is the largest instance with no blacklist according to awesome-lemmy-instances, and I do rather enjoy the idea of being able to have a home from where I can mostly enjoy lemmy as I see fit.

Hey everyone! Excited to get started with lemmy :)

Does anyone have recommendations for fairly active communities? In particular a community for informative videos along the lines of r/mealtimevideos would be great

I deleted my twelve year reddit account yesterday as soon as the Sync app gave the error. The day the internet died! Kinda bittersweet. I'm subscribing to a number of Lemmy communities that may develop into the type of places I used to hang out. I tend to lurk unless there is a thread subject on which I have some expertise and think a comment would add value. It is like starting over to find those specialized subject areas and posters here but I'm treating it like a new adventure. I never had a Twitter account but am also giving Mastodon a try too. Thanks for lemm.ee and the fediverse alternative!

Thank you for setting this up. For the most part, I understand the federated nature of Lemmy, but finding an instance that doesn't get bogged down to the point where I can't log in or can't sign up for a new account...that has been incredibly frustrating.

Can I ask how you're funding this? Are you perhaps taking donations?

Cheers :)

Reddit -> VLemmy -> Lemm.ee here, like several others! Whenever I have trouble reaching Lemm.ee now I immediately assume it imploded. 😆 Fingers crossed it has a long and successful existence!

Hi! Coming from Reddit, I really want an iOS app like Apollo to browse Lemmy.

Hello! Came over here from .world because of issues on posting commenting over there (hope they get resolved though). Glad to be a part of this instance. I'll probably fight with my alter-ego on the .world instance as well.

Random: For the whole fediverse, I hope there would be a community/sub like thanosdidnothingwrong. I was spared on the last iteration on the big old R.

I wonder how I'd fare this time.

Have been a Reddit user since 2009. Has been difficult to make the transition. You get complacinet as you get older. I was never a big contributor but this seems like a solid alternative

Still trying to wrap my head around Lemmy, but I appreciate the server!

Thank you for setting up this instance in wake of the great Reddit migration. It's nice to have alternatives.

Man this is refreshing to see, just recently deleted my Twitter and Reddit accounts bc it was just getting too frustrating dealing with how those sites are handled so I’m excited to see how this goes!

Thank you for this. Now I can feel I'm supporting a service that actually thinks about its users and not some ass like reddit.

First post as a Apollo refugee looking to find a new home, thanks for the image explaining lemmy!

Hello fellow redditors and especially hello dear lemm...ings? What do we call ourselves when we move here? I hope enough people bleed over to here to populate the site so that we have an abundance of content!

I'm just off the boat. Deleted the boost for reddit, deleted my posts, deleted my account.

I'm looking forward to this growth equally as much as I am looking forward to the downfall of reddit.

Switching to here for lemmy.world since I joined it when it was still fresh, now it's overloaded on a daily basis at this point

Already the best instance since I can actually log into it!

Just created an account here now. Has an account on lemmy.world. It faces serious downtime. Looking forward to having a nice experience here.

I don't know what to type but hi 🙃

Damn, new life 🥳

After lemmy got unusable through lemmy.world (No offense, but half my API calls never get answered)😅

I didn't even know this existed until people started talking about it in the last month. Glad I was able to get here before all the reddit apps shutdown

Hi guys. Well this is overwhelming! I wasn't on Reddit as long as many. 7½ years, and a bit shy of 300k Karma. So I feel like in that time I did my part. But it's nice to have an alternative.

I'm still learning the basics with Lemmy. What happens to my account if the instance that it was created on somehow....dies? Is that a stupid question? Sorry if it is.

reddit refugee, thank you thank you

I first made an account on lemmy.world, but I feel like this should be better

Can we defederate from hexbear please

Thanks for hosting the instance.

Came here from the Digg 2.0 implosion. Once Sync went down, I jumped ship. I like talking about subjects without having adds jammed into my face 24/7

Feels super stable coming in from lemmy.world being hugged to death. Thanks for your hard work!

Goodbye Reddit, hello LEMM.EE

reddit refugee here - thanks for setting this up!

As a reddit refugee I just feel the need to comment.

Hello Everyone:

Thx for the warm welcome from both Admin & users alike. I’m new here, so learning as I go.

This is an excellent overview/how-to/FAQ. Very accessible & clear - appreciate all the obvious effort that went into its creation/dissemination.

I’m still getting familiar with the lingo/technicals/acc’t. settings, etc.

Glad to be here. Look forward to getting to know my way around, meet/greet, too.

Peace to All.

Another reddit refugee, in search of a real alternative. Just sign up but look like a good community here...

Happy to be here, thanks for hosting it! This is much more performant than lemmy.world.

Thank you for setting this up. Reddit refugee and looking to stick with Lemmy for now on. This gives me the great Digg migration vibes :)

Coming here from Apollo, tried mastodon but felt too twitter-y so I quit

I hope this feels more Reddit-y

Sync refugee here, it's lovely to see how nice everyone is on here. It'll take some getting used to but so far I'm enjoying it

Hey there, I'm just another refugee from Reddit with no tech skills. Fumbled a bit trying to figure out this site, I'll begin to learn now that I was able to create an account, all thanks to you ✌️

Hey y'all. Reddit refugee here.. Excited to be a part of Lemmy! Still a bit confused about account creation.. Is it better to create different usernames for each Instances? I seem to be able to reuse the username on different instances that I have logged into. Doesn't this risk identity theft?

Is there anyways to stop the "all" tab from updating? It sucks to lose a thread when it updates with a bunch of posts.

Finally, something similar to Reddit that isn't the worst on the planet and is actually open source!!! I also like the layout! I feel like I'm supporting something better!

WefWef seemingly filling the void that Apollo left me. Looking forward to see what Lemm.ee can do.

Deleted 15 y.o. account. No RIF, no reddit. Fuck spez. o7

I'm a reddit refugee and after looking at lemmy instances to join for a week, I've settled on this because I like the admin policies and self regulation of content. Thank you for setting this up for everyone.

Thanks for being a haven for refugees. At the same time, do you know what kind of FREAKS you're taking in?

using this now

Whatever you are doing, you're doing an incredible job at optimizing the instance. You are faster than my closest instances despite being half the world away. Thanks!

Just started exploring the Fediverse (Mastodon first as an exile from the 'bird that's no longer a bird' app and thought I'd have a look at Lemmy too. So far I must say I'm really enjoying them both!

Yet another reddit refugee. Thanks so much for setting this up. Going to try and get as many people as I can to make the switch over from reddit!

Guess I'm a refugee

As a Reddit refugee, I can’t express my gratitude for you setting this up. Please let us know if we can contribute in the future!

Thank you for setting up the server. This sticky post and FAQ are very helpful for a newbie like me.

How come there isn't a logo on the site?

Thanks for hosting this. Refugee from Reddit.

Super excited to be here! Any suggestions for building my feed? Do I need to create accounts across multiple instances or can I subscribe to things across all using the search function?

Looks like the rush is over, the total users number has flattened out according the-federation.info/platform/73. Probably a good thing since it was getting a bit hectic with the sudden demand. Anyway this instance is performing very nicely on desktop browser for me, very little lag or delay anywhere. It's a pleasant experience. Thanks to the admin for an excellent server, also nice you're on the latest updates.

Another reddit refugee here! Although my preferred reddit app, Infinity, is still working at the moment, I no longer want to use reddit as my frontpage of the internet due to the actions & attitude of spez towards the users, mods, and 3rd party developers. I'm thrilled to be here at Lemmy. Thank you so much for hosting this instance! I will become a sponsor if I can.

Unfortunately, my previous instance has had some issues with stability and database corruption repeatedly. Lost posts, subscriptions etc. I am here now due to the similar federation policy, which I believe is the right one. The performance is also great. Very promising!

How do I remove this pinned post from my feed?

Looks like I joined the right place finally. Been looking for a good community since reddit killed itself.

Ok, so this is my first time using lemmy, been about almost a week since I deleted the official reddit app. Was annoying with the ads, but what made me finally delete it, was it not respecting my wishes that I didn’t want notifications, constantly asking about it again. I used Apollo which was pretty great, but it would have been nice having the Sync app I had on android, there was just nothing like it. Now since July 1st I switched over to the official app, but that’s just bad. Hope I have a nice time here! They should fix logging in with the site, cause that just doesn’t work, having no effect when I log in. Luckily this works, am curious :)

I just created my account here, my main account is from Lemmy.world, but as it is a good thing to spread on the Fediverse (and also Lemmy.world is struggling to keep alive because of diverse reasons) I created an account in another instance and this one.

My biggest concern right now is the .ee domain, wouldn't this be a problem for not that popular domains to end up like lemmy.fmhy.ml did?

I mean, it seems like a very unusual scenario, but yet I could never see this happening to .com or .net domains.

Hello! Looks good here! Looking forward to a great future!

Thanks for setting this up <3

Fuck Reddit. First Lemmy post let's go!!!!

On behalf of all the refugees out there I can't thank you enough for creating this instance. I was shocked that subreddits with millions of followers, were willing to shoot themselves in the foot and jeopardize their userbase and the years information they contained just to play slackivist. It got to the point that I couldn't use reddit because of my subs were privated. If people really want to stick it to the man at RedditHQ, leave. Reddit was supposed to be about the people and the community. I guess we forgot about...

Enough about that, thank for making a place for us Reddit expatriates and refugees.

hi!! also new, and also a relatively late reddit refugee, but i've heard of lemmy a long time ago

a friend recommended this instance and yall seem chill!!

Libreddit refugee here, so glad there is a working alternative for Reddit still, thank you! I will miss Libreddit, but I hope this will be a fresh start.

Hi there! Thanks for creating and maintaining all this, I really appreciate it! Really excited about the concept of the fediverse. Looking forward to my time here!

Hello, so for some reason there isn't a "show NSFW" option in the settings? I don't really subscribe to anything for that, but I'd like the option to decide for myself in my subscriptions. I'd this just an error on my part?

What's the deal with this youtube_feed_bot? I've blocked the account but for newcomers to this instance that thing floods the local postings.

Hi guys, Reddit refugee here! What's the best mobile app to use for Lemmy?

Hi, I've been enjoying lemmy for the past couple of days. The only things that I miss from reddit is the grid view from the Shine for Reddit chrome extension and the multi-subreddit feature. I feel like making custom multi-communities threads would benefit lemmy tremendously to keep track of similar communities across all instances. Also I would like suggestions for VR communities as I currently can only find one. Also thanks for making this lemmy instance.

Thank you for letting this weary RIF traveller find a safe space!

Looks like a stable and fast platform.

Just joined today and am excited for lemm.ee!

Wee! Thanks for lemmeeing me in! :)

Hi!

I created an account here after struggling for weeks on .world. I sincerely hope they can figure out all the issues because I still consider there my "home" for now ;)

When you delete a comment, can you also remove your username from that comment? I deleted some comments and it still showed my username on my end. Checked here in this topic if someone deleted their comment and someone has, but you can still see his/her username.

As mannnyyyyy before me have already said, I too am a New Lemmy'er? ( How does one refer to users of Lemmy? Lol!) Refuge from Reddit. I was a long time adopter of the Boost app, which I just saw the dev announce that he plans to make a Lemmy app! (Woohoo!)

Been on Reddit for nearly 10 years, but looking forward to this new adventure and fresh beginning.

Came here after vlemmy got nuked.

Uploading avatars/banners is broken at this moment. Didn't try posting images.

Request error: error sending request for url (http://10.114.0.3:8080/image): operation timed out

Reddit refugee reporting in from Boost and Apollo. RIP to those two and cheers to the future of Lemmy!

I didn't save my lemmy.world account on my password manager, and wiped my browser's cookies. Thank you for setting up this planet.

How do I make this post hidden? It’s always at the top of my feed.

I was so happy to see the app open. It's nice to see such a different way of communicating online. Long live the federation lol!

I’ve been here for a couple weeks now and of the instances I’ve tried out this one definitely suits me the best for now. I signed up for GitHub just so I can support the server via sponsorships. Thanks for all the work you do!

This is exciting!

From what I can tell, Lemm.ee and Lemmy.world are still federated but I can’t see posts from my lemmy.world community for the past week or so…any idea what’s happening?

Community: classicrock@lemmy.world

Hi all. I'm told this is the place to be. Entertain me!

Refugee from Reddit here, could someone please help explain what all of this is? I don't completely understand, sorry

Hello 👋

Thanks for the instance! What is this instance's stance on privacy? (for example, do you intend to keep logs indefinitely, and do you only keep the minimum data necessary to run the service)

Best of luck from the division by zero. Unlike you, we following the industry standard practice of "Yolo" 😅

I trust this instance and have created my account here. Hope to have a nice experience here.

Does anyone have a good tutorial on how to use lemmy? For example, how to sub to popular communities? How to search for them?

I am here, from reddit. Because reddit sucks, and this place is better

Thanks for setting it up. This was recommended, so I joined it. Do you mind sharing how you pay for it? Are you prepared to scale it with demand?

Love this place!

how much and where can i donate?

Hey!

Quick question, Lemmy's comments use Markdown too, right?

I'm another user coming from lemmy.world. Had a lot of connectivity issues there and hoping this is a more stable instance. This also seems like a safe option to help offload bigger servers and balance out the network.

I'm excited to be a part of this community! I only started browsing Reddit a few years ago (a coworker wouldn't stop talking about it) and posted maybe 10 or so times in that time because it just seemed like a sea of undulating noise. I don't recall a single username from there. Things feel a little cozier here and you seem like an honest and communicative admin so I'm optimistic!

Another vlemmy refugee here

reddit + apollo refugee and happy to be here! excited to dive head-first into lemmy 🤙

I appreciate the approach you are taking with the infrastructure. I’m glad to have chosen this server! Your approach and transparency inspired me to sponsor. Thanks for all the great work you are doing on behalf of this community!

Refugee from reddit + apollo. This right now is a saving grace, keep fighting the good fight! Thank you for hosting this 👏🏼

Hopefully my communities will make it over here once July 1 rolls around! That's the only thing I'm missing at the moment.

I'm hoping someone can help me out with the federation side of all this.

I created an account in lemmy.world, it was getting bogged down by all the new traffic. I then created an account here (lemm.ee). I am currently using the app liftoff to do all this. I am logged into both accounts (same username). How is this comment saved?

If for instance, lemm.ee were to shutdown would everything posted here disappear? Or because I am logged into the lemmy.world instance would it still be there? I'm just trying to embrace the new world and do things properly from the beginning to try and reduce fragmentation.

Thank you for setting up a new instance for folks to try Lemmy out!

I tried picking an instance that wasn't the overloaded one, and got asked for a darn background check, so I appreciate the welcoming stance of lemme.ee!

Is that a mouse or lemur? I might do a mini sculpture.

Howdy! I’m a Reddit refugee (RIP Apollo) who initially joined Vlemmy until whatever happened there forced me to find a new instance to join. Now I feel like a double refugee! But lemm.ee seems like a nice place to end up. Thanks for having me!

Sry I'm new to lemmy and this shit is confusing af, accounts are bound to an instance right. So if a instance goes down, does that mean all accounts would be gone? Would people lose all post/comments regardless in which community/instance they posted? This sounds like a big potential future problem!

Regardless "serious long term" sounds sounds good!

Infrastructure as Code, ‘eh? So, as a DevOps guy, I gotta ask… Terraform, Pulumi or CloudFormation? Something else?

Reddit refugee here. Delighted to be part of this new world. Unsure how to search for topics as the search function in Memmy doesn’t seem to work.

Looking forward to a bright new future without the horrors of the old republic.

I'd like the thank you for doing this, when I have some money I'll definitely donate to the cause.

Hello. Thank you for setting this up. So far I enjoy lemmy a lot more than reddit. Right now I am having trouble replying to a comment on a lemmy.world community. So this is a test post too.

✏️ got it. I had to choose a language in the drop down or it wouldn't work (just in case someone else is having the same problem right now)

Hey, @sunaurus@lemm.ee, would it be possible to have different frontends, like old on lemmy.world?

Anyone keep getting logged out from jerboa?

Thanks for hosting the instance man!

Also seeing that "hot" hasn't been updated in 14 hrs or so.

Fleeing Reddit and happy to have found this. Thank you

Yeah it's pretty good

Thanks for setting this up and picking a great URL as well. Excited to be here and get federated!

Thank you, I need this.

Sunaurus, will you be signing this document to fend off Meta?

https://fedipact.online/

Another Reddit person hiiii

Deep comment trees are bugging out and either duplicating previously displayed comments or loading forever, not loading up the comments I'm trying to see. Can any admin contact the Lemmy dev team and ask them to fix it?

how small do avatars need to be? 14kb seems to be too big :(

Thanks for building a Reddit alternative! For some reason whenever I visit a community it looks like I’m not logged in even though I seem to be on the homepage. Is this a bug or am I an idiot? Also, when I find a community via search there’s no subscribe option- may be related to 1st question, but also could be bc I’m on an iPhone mini. Columns are breaking mid-word on my screen, so maybe the design just isn’t optimizing for this size.

We out here, bye reddit

Just joined, thank you!

Tere! I am a reddfugee :)

Good to be here and sounds very friendly so far. Keep up the good work - so long reddit.

Hello World!

I love Lemmy and fediverse! :)

This is brilliant:

https://i.imgur.com/b2QuYAR.png

Cheers from another Reddit refugee! Looking forward to seeing all of you in the comments.

Just joined as a redd-fugee - thanks for setting up that instance!

Just arrived from Reddit and excited to start exploring the fediverse. Thanks for all your work making this instance a reality!

Hello World! Another reddit refugee here, too bad the whole API reddit thing started just as i started posting on reddit!

If I want to see content from lemmy.ml for example, how can I do that? Do I need to use a specific community with the [COMMUNITY_NAME]@lemmy.ml? Or is there a way to have all that content appear on my lemm.ee feed?

Welp, here's my first Lemmy post. With the way the federation thing is going right now, it kinda feels like the old days of creating a new social media account every few months, never knowing which was going to be the one to stick (RIP Friendster). I like this site's stated desire to be around long term. Fingers crossed!

Baconreader refugee here.

Thanks for your work!

I would like to donate a few bucks to cover my future cost of using this (instance? Sorry, yet another new refugee learning the site.)

Are there any verified cryptocurrency wallets where I can send a donation? (Don't post your random personal wallet address, I'm not that dumb :p haha)

Prefer to use litecoin but I have bitcoin too.

If not, I can do the CC thing, but this is a perfect example of where crypto is 5x easier and faster on my end.

Ok, so, how do I find communities here?

Running well so far. Best of luck!

Has anyone had any luck blocking the bot at zerobytes.monster? I was successful in blocking lemmit online bot. But so far I cannot get anything to work.

Thanks for putting this together! Happy to join this lil community :)

I had a question about the fediverse in general. Lets say I sign up on one instance, and one day that instance shuts down. Is my account lost? Or can you transfer your account between instances?

Thanks for this, I’ve been so confused trying to figure out which instance to join: never had this amount of indecision with Mastodon.

Quick question: I use Jerboa for lemm.ee, but have issues trying to post pictures. Is there a specific way you have to load images?

🤔 If you are banned from a particular instance, do posts from that instance stop showing up on your feeds?

I have a really strange question. How do you access the sidebar on the Jerboa for Lemmy app? I really want to read the rules but can't find them. I'm sure it's easier on desktop I just don't have access to that right now. If anyone could help out I'd really appreciate it!

Stilllllllllll can't subscribe/find dundermifflin@lemmy.ml. I tried searching the full address, partial, just the name.. hopefully issues like this will be resolved.

Been here a month. I'm loving it

Oh, fragmentation.

Thanks for doing this.

I was interested in seeing how well posting from a random home instance would work. I had started to think I'd need to spin one up myself, given how many were closed. But it sounds like you're running this one the same way I'd want to run mine. It's working nicely so far.

If you hit a point where you need extra hands, please say something here. I'll offer to help, and I'm sure I'm not alone.

How can I enable dark mode? my eyes hurts uuf

Best of luck guys

Is there an option to turn off nsfw blur? I like to browse the all tab unfiltered.

I hate to keep bringing up weird sorting quirks...

but is anyone else running into 4 year old posts sticking at the top of some communities in Hot sort (like here: https://lemm.ee/c/unixporn@lemmy.ml)?It seems to be an instance specific thing.

Definitely not a big deal, but i thought I would mention it. Thanks again for keeping this place maintained! Server has been running great and i just added a community recently too. Can't wait for this community to grow.

I'm still trying to figure things out here. I created my username under the first instance I could where I found availability. Can I change my base instance to another? Or do I need to setup another username for instance I prefer?

Reddit refugee. How do you start up your own instance thread? I tried & failed.

First, lemm.ee was my first ever Lemmy instance, loved it here. This site worked absolutely flawless so far.

So, my hot take: I discovered lemm.ee blocked Threads, fair, that's not up for discussion from my side. Does anyone can suggest me a nice instance where Threads is federated? I'm curious about this infamous huge amount of content I cannot access from here (and no, Threads app is still not available in my country).

I am a refugee but not from Reddit. I have come from other Lemmy instances that stopped working or were shutdown (noteably free media heck yeah) and antemeriddiem.

Thanks!

Thanks for this!

Nice work thanks for the effort

Glad to be here

I'm glad to have signed up with this instance. I hope we don't get many bad apples here, but I already like the setup and how communicative @sunaurus@lemm.ee is. I will think of donating to the cause when I have something to spare. Thank you!

Hi, I like it here so far. But I have a small issue:

When I filter my feed by "active" or "top" (or anything really), if I wait a bit I can see that new threads still appear at the top, above the sorted ones. Is this a bug, or a feature that I can configure?

I've been on .world since a few weeks before the reddit 3rd party app ordeal. But I abandoned .world due to their Threads federation. I've been off lemmy for most of a few weeks but have been missing it.

Just wanted to say thank you for creating this instance! I was hoping to find one with community creation, downvotes, and no Threads federation.

Seems like a great fit. Do you have a donation page? If I like it here after a little while, I'd be happy to pitch in a little bit. I had been donating to .world until they confirmed Threads federation...

Edit: Couldn't take the federation with tankies here, and since blocking an instance only blocks posts (not user interaction), I've moved on to feddit.de.

I'm excited to learn more about this place. Love it so far. Thanks for taking in us refugees!

Another Reddit refugee here, hello world!

Hi hi! came here from reddit :>

Honest question, no snark. I'm new on this instance and I get that growing pains are happening. But okay, wth has this post been stuck on the top of every sort-view I choose (new, new-comments, most-active-comments, etc) for the past 48 hours? Is this instance-specific or is this protocol-wide? Something else?

Truly appreciate you setting this up. I do have a question and readily admit I have not looked elsewhere, but, since you may be offering to answer: could I set up a "private" instance for me and a few friends that closes registration but is open to the rest of the fediverse? I assume so since a lot of the main sites seem to be slowing registration down but I am just curious how it all works. Would be a fun experiment for me.

Also, how difficult is it to manage from a sysadmin point of view?

Thanks for doing this. Just starting/transferring today. Looks promising, excited about decentralized federation.

OtherNote: in your intro you have a link to an image with the text

This image explains it well

The image is completely illegible ... maybe get something a little higher res?

Hm

Hey thanks!

Literally I saw this first and signed up with it. Very fresh from the reddit apocalypse.

Had no idea how the concept of instances really worked until I logged into thr android app Jerboa.

NOW it makes sense.

Thank you for the instance!

good

Thanks for setting up this instance :) Is there any way we can help support it?

it looks like all of you know where i m coming from, so whats new ? it looks like good, easy,

Is "Hot" sort working? It doesn't seem to have updated in the past 12 hours or so... I don't know how the sorting options here work but yesterday Hot sort gave me much newer posts

Edit: seems to only be All/Hot... Id imagine some sort of federation shenanigans

Does this instance also have any relation to Estonia?

I feel like because things are so new the instances are all really similar.

Btw liftoff is pretty great

Thanks a lot for setting this up! It's seems to be a very busy day for most lemmy servers, and it's quite tricky to set up a new account on some of the big ones today.

I want to leave Reddit, but I'm still missing 4-5 but communities :(

Hello hello, Reddit refugee here as well. Can help contribute if anyone is working on a mobile app 🙂

Just a heads up, this page gets a warning for Malwarebytes browser guard at the moment.

I can’t seem to upload an avatar or background, I keep being told every image is too large. I’ve shrunk the images as small as possible but they still won’t upload. Not sure what else to do.

Hi, I just started and I’m using Memmy. How do I access TTRPG network? Sorry kinda new to all this.

Signing in hangs for me. Registered (since lemmy.ml server performance is degrading with all the new users) but sign in just fails silently. Think it's capcha-related.

Are we able to make new communities? I'm trying to make one for a mobile game I play, but I can't get the community name to work.

Hey, can I ask if there are any plans to defederate from Hexbear and Lemmygrad? The users on those instances are extremely toxic, especially the former.

Thanks!

Thanks! veryyy new here

I was on lemmy.ml for a while but switched over here today because it seems way more stable. Awesome job! Is there a way I can support you?

Hi! I just started lemmy after hearing about it recently. I signed up on the Memmy app since I’m an iOS user.

Do you have any tips about the app/website for a first time user?

Hey is there a limit to how a large file we can upload

Can someone please tell me what are the rules for uploading images? It keep saying me image too big but doesn't give me any indication about size, or resolution, or pixels. It's user-hostile.

Thanks for the instance!

How did you get it running? Neither the docker image nor the ansible playbook gave me a working version. Mostly it's the lemmy-ui part that seems to fail.

Thanks for setting this up! Looking forward to participating.

Silly question and please point me elsewhere if it's not the place to ask, just want to make sure I understand Lemmy properly. Now I'm signed up to the Lemm.ee instance, to share a community I set up, it's just "name"@lemm.ee correct?

Thanks for creating this instance, so far it seems great. I was wondering if there was a dark mode though. I haven't been able to find it.

I am tired of seeing constant lemmy.world garbage on my feed and I wish the admins would federate with other instances for fuck's sake.

The place is getting inundated with pro-Russia and pro-China shills and trolls because of that cretinous place.

I'm waiting to see how tolerant of free speech lemmee is. Let's see what gets someone banned here.

Just came over here from Reddit, glad to find a place that cares about free speech and not just the woke leftist agenda, happy to be here.

Howdy! VLemmy seems to have gone MIA, so I'll give lemm.ee a try!
