A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

A timeline I created of the total users at the top 10 Lemmy instances as a bar chart race: https://public.flourish.studio/visualisation/14058992/ and as a line chart: https://public.flourish.studio/visualisation/14080522/.

Makes sense. A friend of me unfortunately turns Lemmy down because the largest instance has "only" 1.6k users

I’m going to bee honest, the mascot was a big factor in picking this instance for me.

Yup. That played a big role for me, too. The other factor was lemmy.ml was the first to approve my signup, finally giving me the ability to post. I’m still looking around to get a feel for other instances, and might even set up my own.

Yeah I’m probably gonna end up doing my own instance at some point once I get my bearings around here, plus it’s just fun to learn new technology!

[–] slashzero@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I’m in the process of setting up my own instance for fun, as today was a slow work day.
