i mean, could lemmy even work with threads? completely different layout and functionality. im having a hard time understanding the Fediverse past lemmy instances interacting haha.

Update: Apparently Wagner is also pushing towards Krasnodar and Volgograd with little to no resistance, both equally major cities. This is just the current word of mouth though, no major news outlets or insiders to confirm.

Definitely. This place is a (much needed) step back to what the internet used to be. Somewhere between 15-20 years ago and now, the online growth experienced obviously went in a wrong direction. I’m glad these huge social media conglomerations were a testing ground for us to discover how the web should not work, and Lemmy is a step in the right direction.

The website now says that Lemmy is over 200,000 people, wow! This growth is amazing, I just hope the people joining are a bit more concrete though, and don’t treat this place as a fad.

How long has Lemmy been around for? The oldest thing I’ve seen so far is about two weeks old.

Oh ja Bruder, du schaffst das! You’re halfway through German on Duolingo? You’re definitely atleast A2, maybe B1 if that’s the case. What Unit are you on?

Wow, I had no idea the sort of free range the Fediverse brings. Knowing that I can use any language I’ll definitely give it a go now, thanks for the resources.

It’s odd that all of this is happening at once, but if I had to bet on a cause it is complacency.

The internet used to be fast in trading the hands of “power”. Social medias/major forums would fall just as quickly as they rose. This began to change in 2008-2010 when we sort of developed the Status Quo of websites we see nowadays.

I think these corporations forgot that social medias are not indefinite, and assumed that they could safely get away with much more now than they actually can.

Glad to see new platforms such as Lemmy rising to the task. Change the status quo.

Good point. Once a website is too noticeable, it is much more scrutinized. This has been seen countless times and its much harder to have the free flow of information when everyone is in on it. Then again though, that’s why there are hundreds of instances, you can drop ship in the mainstream one and take a quieter approach.

Oh wow, no idea how a website for just this flew under my radar, thank you.

It’s all of our jobs to build this place up to what Reddit used to be. Definitely attainable. My only concern is that the more technical part of Lemmy (federated and what not) will shrink the site’s critical mass and thus prevent it from being a major player on the internet.

But then again, that excuse was heard back when the current status quo of websites were taking off.
