We’re about to enter another Reddit mass migration phase starting tonight. We’ve already attracted the users most actively engaged with the protests and Reddit’s changes—users who are driven enough to put in the effort to grow the Fediverse.
Now we need to make it feel like home to casual users and lurkers. Not just attract them for a few visits, but keep it interesting enough that they stay here in the coming weeks/months.
Major kudos to all the developers working day and night to bring us familiar-feeling apps and interfaces on insanely short timelines. But what can the rest of us do to make Kbin and Lemmy feel like home to all the new Reddit refugees? Populate Lemmy and Kbin with as much quality content as you can find!
Over the next few weeks, fill your magazines/communities with as much good the content as you can. Post comments and subscribe to things. Click that upvote button on content or comments you like.
Not sure where to find good content? Ironically, check out your favorite subreddits for ideas. Make sure we have the best of the content you can find on Reddit. See a good article or link? Post it here! Don’t be shy about posting to interactive communities like Ask Lemmy- we’re after volume.
For OC Reddit posts, see if there’s a non-Reddit page to post here. I don’t know whether it’s acceptable to copy text posts, but if you do, make sure you at least give credit/copy a link to the original post.
Basically, do everything you can to engage over the next few weeks and avoid lurking. Show off the Fediverse and welcome the next group of Reddit refugees to their new home.
Edit: I completely forgot to call out all the people hosting and upgrading instances to help with the massive influx of users and keep the sites stable. Thank you, hosts!
Quality content is one thing. Engagement is another. I see lots of new posts that are good, but little to no comments. What we need is a few good communities with lots of engagement. On reddit I was more of a lurker, here I will start to do my best to comment more in the hopes it helps. (Still, my comments will probably be stupid and uninteresting, so it might do more harm than good, lol)
Yup. Engagement draws people.
I basically never upvoted on reddit, but I need to change that here.
Same here! I’m going to try to be more involved but will I add anything of quality? Prob not! 😂
this is relatable, and i felt inclined to comment to agree lol
I agree. Without engagement, it will lack that sense of community that reddit had.
We’ll get there - it’s just about chatting when you have something to offer; we get to be the stimuli, the response or both
Like, for me, I don’t start conversations particularly often - but I can certainty riff on topics fed add things along the way once the ball is rolling. That’s why I’ve always been more of a comments section person. Guess I’ll have to step out and try posting more!
Yeah same here, I hardly ever commented on Reddit posts but I feel like for this to work we all need to actively try to engage with the platform
I think I’ve made more posts/comments in the last fortnight, than the last year on Reddit.
I’ve been posting interesting articles to nearly half a dozen communities each per day, even if nobody is responding.
I believe it’s worth it to have this activity for those who pass by and see how many people showed up to the party before them.
This is the way
Absolutely, I’m way more actively engaged on Lemmy than I was in the recent past on Reddit. I feel like the community isn’t too flooded yet, and conversation can be more easily seen. I’m very excited for the future here.
Yep, the perception of business and web traffic is what drives actual traffic
This is my first comment as a reddit refugee ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I just made my account today after sync died, and I don’t know what else to do so here I am lol
Thank you. As a recent refugee I like that lemmy can fill a void but it’s going to take community effort to have the engagement and diversity that Reddit did. As a decade long Reddit lurker I’ve decided that my lemmy experience will be better if I upvote the things that contribute, comment instead of just lurking, and rather than expecting to jump into this expecting the traffic and variety of the old place, I and the other refugees have an opportunity to make our little spaces in the fediverse a little brighter and grow with the community. It’s an exciting time after the dread of the deadline began to grow. I’m happy I’m here, and I’m happy you (and everyone) are here! Let’s grow together!
Can confirm, migrated because they took away my Apollo! Now I’m using wefwef as my new Apollo
Thanks for pointing me towards this. Loving wefwef. Works wonderfully!
Is it an iOS app? I can’t find it in the Android Google or Samsung store.
It’s a web app instead of native app. I’m using https://wefwef.app/
They said they are adding an android skin as well on the road map. I’m assuming you can simply use it on an android phone now, although I haven’t tested so could be wrong.
https://github.com/aeharding/wefwef
I’m not sure how you do it on android but in iOS you can add it to your Home Screen and it opens up similar to how a native app would.
I would love an Android native app, but this actually looks pretty great. This and Jerboa are the closest I’ve seen to RIF so far.
Jerboa strikes me as RiF without the features and usability I liked about that app, at least for now, hopefully it gets better
It’s definitely got a lot of growing and improvement to do, but I think it has a lot of potential once it works out its kinks and can get through the backlog of enhancement recommendations.
of all the android apps I’ve tried, wefwef seems the best for me, especially as a fan of pretty GUI
Should be platform agnostic, it’s a browser app.
I think there’s also an iOS app, but you can just go to https://wefwef.app as well
Nah it’s just a web app that you can save to your Home Screen. Works on pretty much any modern device with a browser that way.
Looks great! Just downloaded the PWA. I’ve been installing of them, though lol. So far, I’ve got Jerboa, Connect, Liftoff, the kbin PWA and now this one!
Lemmymon - gotta catch 'em all!
It’s a mobile web app, so iOS users can visit https://wefwef.app using Safari, then click the Share icon, the click ‘Add to Home Screen’.
I don’t use Android so I don’t know if there’s a similar process to turn a link to a website into an icon on the Home Screen. I just did a web search and found this website, which I hope is useful for you https://beebom.com/ways-turn-any-website-android-app/
(Also I’m new to wefwef and this is my first comment using it)
Yeah it’s pretty much the same. PWAs are great when developed well and cross platform. Unfortunately they usually are not developed well and push you to go to their mobile apps.
Seems like a good way to not have to mess around with App Store approval and stuff though
Sure is. Things like payment systems don’t require giving the stores 40% of their cut too and notifications / background / permission limits on apps. Unfortunately PWAs got the issue of harder for average user to install and thus native apps win.
Is it that hard for people? I just opened in a browser and hit the button to add it to the home page. Easy.
Wefwef is great, very pretty :)
I come from Android land so I can’t compare it to Apollo but it certainly looks very good
Wow thank you for this, this really is the best app I’ve tried so far. Love a good webapp.
Just started using this, and I have to say… wefwef is way better than any of the current apps. By a lot.
I think a big part of this is making less of the content on Lemmy, be about Lemmy (and reddit).
How many casual users are going to join, see literally half of their front page being about either Lemmy or reddit, and then just leave?
Edit: Building on this - I just joined, and my homepage currently has 3 posts that aren’t directly about either Lemmy or reddit.
Yeah. Sometimes it feels like it’s just people patting themselves on the back for not using Reddit, which is completely ok, but I’d also like to see other stuff. Like from subreddit I used to subscribe to.
I get it. It’s cathartic, and it’s nice to vent about it. It was similar during the digg > Reddit migration and it will naturally end on it’s own, but I do hope it doesn’t last too long.
Yeah, I think it’s partly a coping mechanism and partly just the current drama that everyone’s aware of, which makes it safe common ground to make jokes about, as well as pretty much the only thing most people can be fairly sure they have in common with others on a platform that is pretty new to them. A week or so ago Mastodon was pretty full of Titan stuff. Things will move on again.
Same problem with Mastodon.
So many of the most popular posts are self referential - about Mastodon, Twitter or Elon Musk.
Hello, I just migrated from Reddit and am slowly figuring things out. I’m really enjoying Lemmy and the Fediverse so far!
Are there any communities I should subscribe to? If anyone has suggestions please list them out below, thanks!
I got started with browsing the most popular communities (if you’re on a browser, click Communities in the upper left, then pick All under List of communities) and picking the ones that seemed interesting. Then I started searching for ones that mirrored my subreddits and other interests. One thing to note is that Lemmy is growing so fast that you’ll often find more than one community about the same topic, so don’t be shy about subscribing to somewhat duplicative communities until one comes out on top.
There are still some subreddits that don’t have an equivalent here yet, so I check back for those every few days to see if anyone has gotten around to them (I’m definitely not up for moderating myself)
As @[email protected] posted, you can also use https://browse.feddit.de/ to quickly search for communities and see their subscriber, post and comment count to gauge how active they are.
Welcome!
Edit: I just learned about lemmyverse.net which is an even better website to browse both instances and communities. Check it out!
Thanks for the run down, appreciate the detailed explanation! Great idea about finding mirror communities from Reddit.
One thing to note is that Lemmy is growing so fast that you’ll often find more than one community about the same topic, so don’t be shy about subscribing to somewhat duplicative communities until one comes out on top.
This bring back fond memories of browsing early Reddit lol
And this is the first time I see a Lemmy comment quoting another
Note if you find a community somewhere and you don’t see it in your instance that means no one has subscribed to it yet. You’ll have to paste the whole url on the search bar and wait maybe 30 seconds.
Or just click a link to it if it’s mentioned in a comment on lemmy!
With the 0.18 update links like this: [email protected] should “just work”, even if it hasn’t been discovered by your instance yet. (You might have to refresh after the first time)
Also you can set your “home instance” on https://lemmyverse.net and browse communities there, and it will automatically link you to it on your instance, which should handle discovery as well
My userscript (Lemmy post) can also help you with this globally on all websites :) It rewrites all links to always point to your home instance.
Oh really? That’s great development.
I have a question. I used the website, found https://lemmy.world/c/texas , but I can’t figure out how to subscribe to it in Jerboa.
Search for [email protected] in the app or your home instance. It may take a few tries if your instance has never loaded it before, but once it loads in if you subscribe they will continuously federate afterwards.
This is super helpful, thank you!
This is fantastic! Definitely going to be sharing this.
Thanks!

Hello! I’m still familiarizing myself with the fediverse and Lemmy, but I look forward to contributing once I’m comfortable.
I hope formatting commands are similar to old reddit, I do love my citations :)
Oh hey I recognize you from way back during the Mueller probe - if you’re that same person. Always appreciated your informative comments. I’ll probably see how around the politics communities here then!
It’s cool seeing someone here that I recognize from Reddit
Heey! It’s so awesome to see you here!
I found this earlier today, I just went through and Re subbed to my favorite sub reddits. https://sub.rehab/
I used sub.rehab to find Lemmy communities that were similar to my favorite subreddits.
I really hope that the existing Lemmy instances can handle all the new users
Good point, I completely forgot to call out all the people hosting and upgrading instances to help with the massive influx and keep the sites stable.
I’m a RIF refugee, stuff my content hole ➡️😫
🍆
Thank you for everyone’s efforts to make the shift from Reddit as smooth as possible. I am normally a lurker/casual Redditor and will likely continue to be so in the Fediverse, but I want to say how much I greatly appreciate how welcoming people have been. I really hope the transition goes as smoothly for original users, and I will do my best to be as minimally invasive as possible.
I’m finding myself commenting so much more here
I think it’s good to encourage those who still have reddit accounts to migrate their content over here in anyway they can before deleting their account entirely. They may have content that they can post that would be beneficial to keep but starve that content from reddit.
It’s the strongest weapon you can unleash against that cesspit of a platform. New content is being made here daily and it’s amazing, but we have a way to go to compete with such a goliath content farm.
Damn good idea. I’m a gamedev and posted a hell of a lot of my work on reddit, so I’ve been hesitant to delete it entirely, because i have an audience, however minor, over there, and a record of progress and contributions to the community. But, as you say, i could just repost it all over here.
Honestly, I was hoping smarter folks would’ve figured an easy way to port subs, content etc or make it easier for user to bring their selected content to Lemmy.
I’m all for rebuilding, but feels like a missed opportunity.
I’m thinking about doing that. There’s no reason one couldn’t make a web scraper and just scrape some list of subs and run it through a particular mirror instance of lemmy which other instances would be able to federate with. It just seemed like there wouldn’t be interest in such an idea
I think it’s a huge opportunity. The three most valuable aspects of Reddit are: The framework - which Lemmy (and others) are hard at work at building out The community - people are fired up and heading over in droves The content - this will take years to rebuild.
If someone can tackle #3- I think it would be super valuable to helping people find one home after Reddit.
As it happens, one already exists, so I’m glad that I messaged folks. You can check out https://lemmit.online/ for exactly this use case, I believe
Let me send some messages to lemmy instance owners and see what they think. I know there’s a bit of strain in the federation, but if they like the idea, I don’t mind pulling one of my machines into the mix.
I for one propose more robust ways of finding communities. Maybe if communities adopted a policy of using keywords or hashtags so it can be easier to find all the places where specific topics are being discussed…? I don’t know, I’m brand spanking new and trying to find my way; the first thing on my mind is: where am I, where is everything in reference to me, and how do I find out?
Check out lemmyverse.net - it’s a great tool to browse the communities and instances out there
And don’t forget to set your home instance by clicking the house at the top. Then all the links take you to the appropriate page on your instance so you can subscribe!
Is there a way to see this through Connect?
I’m not sure… what’s Connect?
Same. I try to find alternatives to the subreddits I used to follow, but aside from technology subs, I don’t see much of what I remember, even after using the search function in Connect. Not sure how good it is though
I don’t think I’m understanding. This Lemmy business has been a mess to navigate, I am up to six accounts on Lemmy for different versions. What I am trying to figure out, is why can I sort by ‘Top’, select ‘All’ which says it included other communities, but the selection of posts shown with those settings has been different for Kbin, VLemmy, LemmyNSFW, and lemmy.world? If I do this on kbin for example, almost every top post in all is from kbin, same goes for VLemmy, etc etc. Where the heck can I go, and sort by all, to see the top posts of ALL of these Lemmy instances?
You really don’t need 6 accounts, it’s probably easier to use 1 for all of Lemmy.
Anyways, I think there’s nothing that can really be done about “All” being different for all instances, at least not right now. On a smaller instance, you’ll see a lot more stuff from other instances, and on a bigger instance you’ll see a bunch of stuff from that instance, they seem to prefer posts from themselves.
I don’t really know how it works, but that’s what I’ve seen. Honestly, it’s not a deal breaker.
i know you can just have one account but what people keep ignoring is that when a post links to another instance, you need to log into it. cross posts work well but if you interact with it, you need to log into their instance.
Nah, you still don’t need to open their own link. That’s something that’s I think is in the works to be streamlined but is doable with browser extensions, when you click on one link you should get to open the post’s “local” copy on your instance, which would allow you to post your comment there, and that local copy would sync with the original in a bit so that your comment displays there as well. You should still be able to see the post’s local copy if you preface it with your instance’s url, but for doing it automatically yeah, third party clients are doing it already I believe and you can do it on your browser via userscripts. Editing to add that if you’ve subscribed to a particular community and are seeing it’s posts there on your feed, you are basically doing just that, seeing it’s local copy on your own instance. Which is why you can comment on them without needing to login on to the original community instance.
but you do know what i mean…the solution requires an extension to fix lol
It’s in a similar vein to having RES for reddit. I never used it without it, so I don’t mind it. But yeah, it’s something that is being planned to be inbuilt by default so I still don’t think you need to make an account elsewhere by any means. It’s just appending the post link to your own instance’s link. And again, all third party clients already do that by default. I’m on wefwef and it’s been a breeze. Till then, if you’re browsing on a desktop browser, this userscript does the job - https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/469273-lemmy-universal-link-switcher
I think it’s supposed to be like that. The Fediverse is a decentralized platform.
Each instance you login to is considered Local but you can subscribe to communities hosted on other instances too. When you sort by All it shows the local instance posts + your subscribed communities’ posts.
Oh ok? I feel like that makes this not a Reddit competitor then, there are far too many instances with the same community names run by different people posting different or the same exact content. I kind of get the federated bit but now if I want to find what equates to a gaming subreddit I have to search on an external website to find probably 10+ communities by the same name that I now need to monitor for a few days to see which has the content I’m looking for… that’s a LOT of work to do to find a single community as opposed to using reddit where I look up gaming and then join r/gaming.
That’ll die down. It’s a new community so it’s a bit like the wild west while everyone finds their place.
This sort of thing happens on Reddit too, with several subreddits for the same topic. Most of them find their own thing and they become different. The same will probably happen here.
Yeah, there’s r/Gaming on Reddit, but there’s also r/Games, r/VideoGaming and so on. It’s really not that different here.
Being able to find communities on other instances does seem to be getting better, and it seems to work better on 3rd party apps like Liftoff, rather than the website or Jerboa.
I agree completely with what you say. But I also recognise that a lot of people get confused by all this “techno-babble”. To be honest, I am (admittedly an old) programmer, and I was hesitant and confused at first. I think the average user shouldn’t be concerned with instances. Why do I need to see <user>@<instance> and <community>@<instance>. Just drop the “@instance” (put it in a tooltip at least) and just make community-names unique across all instances (you could still have the same communityname in different instances, but give them a fediverse-alias which is unique)
I mean, it’s really not much different from email with different instances. My email address is [email protected], and yours is [email protected]. We’re on different email servers (instances) but we can still talk to each other. That’s not really “technobabble”, I mean, people understand email, right?
The problem with analogies is that they will break down at some point. Not to be pedantic or semantic, but social media is not the same thing as an email. It’s not about understanding email but about signing up to a website and finding things of interest without having to think about how it works. Sadly, most people just want things “to work” without having to go through a learning curve, no matter how small. But I could be wrong.
I’m kinda opposite of that opinion; at the moment it has the tendency to drop the @instance part when local; if I see anything on sh.itjust.works it’s just !main or something. I guess I’m a Python programmer, explicit is better than implicit.
As a programmer myself I get what you’re saying. But for the average user -I suspect- it is just extra, unimportant, information which could be confusing. (It adds no value nor importance)
I would say keeping consistent behavior so as not to confuse users is of value. Also stuff like “Am I on my local instance? It doesn’t actually say anywhere.” This is important information because different instances have different codes of conduct, which users should keep in mind.
Which does give me an opportunity to whinge about something: Instances usually post their rules in the sidebar of their homepage, which as far as I can tell cannot be viewed from within an account on another instance. I’m on sh.itjust.works; if I want to look at lemmy.world’s home page to read their code of conduct I have to awkwardly go to lemmy.world, it tells me I’m not signed in up in the corner, then I have to go back over to sh.itjust.works to participate in discussions.
Perhaps the instances’ home sidebar should be mirrored beneath the community sidebar for easy reference?
If you did that it would get quite dicey quite quickly. How would two instances decide to federate together if they already had a whole ton of common communities (ie “programming” or “memes”), and part of the idea is that you can run an instance without needing to be beholden to the activities of other instances, while still being able to federate with them. Having that strong of a dependency on the other instances would likely make things quite unmanageable.
You are not wrong. But that is not user-centric. I think this fediverse has potential, but it needs to find a way to make it more human-centric rather than technical-centric. If it fails, it will probably be because it fails to be intuitive. (just my gut feeling)
I don’t know, lots of subreddits served similar content with slightly different names. Askreddit/ask, bicycling/cycling and countless others. I guess different cultures/values would exist in each much like on reddit, but one would emerge as the “big” one.
All should so you everything your server is federated not just your own subscriptions
Can confirm this. I’ve signed in to dbzer0 instance since the start, and subscribed to communities on other instances.
I got confused by “ALL”, because there are nsfe and political communities that I know I didnt subscribed to.
I was able to figure it out, I’m using the connect for lemmy app now, so I just need to select the “frontpage” tab, to show content from subbed communities.
The process is just inconvenient
Due to the nature of how Lemmy works, it would be rather difficult to make a tool that federates every instance. Also, some instances block others for various reasons. Lemmy works by federating an instance if any interaction with the other instance is made, so if a user on x.com were to read the comments of a post made by y.com (which is already federated with x.com) and upvoted a comment by z.com (which is not federated yet), it will start federating posts from z.com
Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong
Also don’t join ban happy instances like beehaw.
Beehaw is great, actually. Some things should not be tolerated.
I’m tired of basically every other place on the internet tolerating shitty people because of “freedom of speech” or whatever, poisoning the discussion and making it suck to actually participate.
It’s good to have a place where people actually operate on good faith, and not just to fight like everywhere else because they appeal to the lowest common denominator. Just look at how often reddit was criticized for being toxic. If you just allow everything, that is what will inevitably happen. You have to work to prevent that.
Yeah miss me with the self-righteous, hateful toxicity of pre-2012 Reddit. I left because Reddit made the user experience horrible by shutting down better apps while their own was still abysmal. Idk anything about how ban-happy specific communities are here, but I understand if heavier moderating is needed at the beginning to prevent this place from turning into Voat
Like I said in another post. Reddit active monthly is 1.6 billion . Beehaw have trouble dealing with few thousand users from 2 biggest instances, lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works. Lemmy instances needs money, we can get more money by getting more users, which means more money going towards Lemmy and the fediverse. We need to start taking money out of the trillion dollar tech giants and the profits going towards instance owners, mods and devs that make Lemmy great. If beehaw is trying to make a instance to feel safe towards advertisers and give beehaw money, I understand that. However we haven’t reach that critical mass yet.
Beehaw’s fine, no need to promote one side of Lemmy whilst laying into another.
I appreciate the need for variety but personally value safe spaces for discussion over anons right to troll with porn.
The code base needs work to allow safe spaces to exist and integrate with anons trolling now that there are a few million accounts.
It seems much more likely beehaw defeded due to the accounts here lolzing about posting homophobic content everywhere, as the instance owner is apparently gay, & posting knobs all over the feminist spaces. I suspect your take that beehaw action’s are to generate income is complete fiction, it’s to limit the ability of fuckwits on the server as the current mod tools are shite.
¿Por qué no los dos? That’s the freedom of the fediverse, freedom of association.
Is there a way to merge accounts so you can see everything in one place without switching? If not, managing multiple accounts is cumbersome.
Lemmy servers are federated with each other, so users can participate in another server’s communities without having to create an account.* ActivityPub is the protocol that allows users to interact with compatible platforms including Kbin, Mastodon, and PeerTube.
Paraphrased from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemmy_(software)
*Servers may defederate/block other servers from participating in their communities for reasons including spam, bot activity, trolling, ideology, etc.
You can view and comment in other instances (notice that my account is from programming.dev).
If you’re on desktop, you can see the equivalent of /r/all by viewing “all” on your instance. To view a community on another instance, you use the url: {domain of your instance}/c/{community name}@{domain of the instance of that community}
For example, I’m here and commenting with the url: programming.dev/c/[email protected]
Apps!
So far liftoff has dealt with this very scenario quite seemlessly.
Nice! Hopefully soon one of them can merge my Lemmy, Kbin and Mastodon accounts into a single app. Kbin just needs to release some APIs.
Yes some day I want kbin too but at least they’re federated. I should note for barbies that multiple accounts is only necessary for such cases as beehaw not connecting with two of the other biggest communities.
I know, but in my view if I want the fediverse to become mainstream, we need a way for 1.660 billion monthly active users to feel free and jump straight into the fediverse. Admins will need to find a way to monetize their instance, like ads or fediverse awards. So the instance owner can be not only cover server costs, it’s will be their job, get devs on board for FOSS development, grow the community and make the fediverse 1000% better. We need to start small first, that means we need play nicely to each other— so users that come on this board can consume content from other instances about the confusion of defederation.
Wait what’s happening with Beehaw?
Goodbye Reddit drama, hello Lemmy drama
They already did. Every user wants their specific admin led circlejerk with no disent. Else you’re a nazi. You don’t like it? Make your own instance.
Lemmy is not it, as it stands. Not whil users di y have cross instance user control and don’t depend on admins which are a worse version of power hungry Reddit mods with a more fanatical crowd.
Cross-instance control of your identity would be nice but it’s easy enough to just make multiple accounts and manage them easily in your browser and every app under the sun. We are much less beholden to power tripping arseholes here than on a platform like Reddit.
And account migration could be added in the future
No it’s not. And for every account you don’t have a shared history. You don’t build a community.
Also, which are those apps you talk about? Because Jerboa doesn’t seem to be great for that. Switching between accounts is needed and quite annoying.
We are much less beholden to power tripping arseholes here than on a platform like Reddit
No. You’re way more beholden. The adminmod rules it all. What you see, who they federate, etc and it’s all defended by rabid users because “if you don’t like it leave and build your own instance*”. It’s not about community but instance owner absolute power.
Doesn’t quite work unless you’re absolutely in line with whichever narrative is happening. The echo chambers are bigger and the consequential toxicity upon dissent, much bigger.

You can make your own instance if you can’t find out that aligns with your values.

I’m using wefwef.app on lemmy world and it works great. It might be a problem with individual clients or instances
First comment after migrating from Apollo. Tried Kbin for a bit and had trouble navigating and finding content. Switched to Lemmy.world and wefwef and it’s real good so far!!
Same client-instance combination and it’s unusable :(
I had issues with lemmy.world with comments not posting while using wefwef, I’m on lemm.me now and I feel it’s a lot smoother!
I tried creating an account on lemmy.world at first and could never get it to load correctly. Try joining another instance - lemmy.world is probably overloaded.
Edit: use lemmyverse.net to look through the available instances, their rules, and their uptime stats.
Really? The instance I’m using works perfectly. …probably because it’s special.
Oooooooooh! Lemmy-NitroSuperFastWow! That is a special one! It’s nice to hear they’ve got the special sauce over there.
I just saw a post about Avatar Ang getting pegged. What more do these people want?
Look everybody I’m filling the fediverse with content my content is the best never been content this good before
Proud of you
