It really feels like Lemmy is alive because of you.
When I first checked out Lemmy, I wasn’t expecting there to be so much content, so much discussion, and so much community. But I’ve spent the better part of two days glued to my screen, browsing content all day. I’ve seen so many posts, so many interesting discussions about the fediverse, and of course, plenty of memes. It really feels like the start of something incredible.
I’ve gotta get back to work soon, but wow. I think this whole fediverse thing really is the next step for social media. If I find some extra time, I’ll definitely consider contributing to Lemmy’s source code to help this project and the FOSS ecosystem grow.
I honestly doubted I’d be able to stay away from reddit. I’ve tried many times before. I’ve deleted 5 major accounts since 2012.
But Lemmy seems to have been the nicotine patch I’ve needed. Haven’t been on Reddit outside google searching for info, which isn’t going away for me personally.
Only thing I actually miss is baseball and my team sub.
You should create a community for your team so when people come here looking they’ll find a community ready to welcome them
I’ve tried to do this but can’t seem to find a clear and concise guide. From what I read, only admins can create communities?
Check out our baseball community’s sidebar for your favorite team. Try searching [email protected] (and give it a minute if someone on your instance hasn’t already found us).
Fanaticus is a sports-only instance. We’ve ported over a game bot and have created communities for all the major sports teams. If you’re interested in moderating one of the communities, just ask!
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using an URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
