Memes

Wdym? The community here is already much better than on Reddit. Same post there was met with little notice, and all of that was like "stop shilling, loser".

I believe I'm quite settled here already, using Jerboa on my phone. One thing that could help get more people here in my opinion is promotion of the "lemmy" "brand". Now when I try to lookup the lemmy keyword on my search engine, I have to scroll waay below the first results (which is not a behavior of most users). Why isn't e.g. the "official" app called simply Lemmy, but instead "Jerboa"? I assure you this is confusing for many people.

Anyways, thank you for welcoming me! I see great potential in Lemmy (compared to e.g. Mastodon, which is dependent on specific people and not communities).

TLDR: Met with awesome community already, but the app is a little bit confusing.

You should always upvote people like @saltesc that are friendly to newcomers, that's how you build a friendly community

Well I've converted quite recently as I haven't heard of Lemmy before.

I apologize for bothering you, sir.

This meme already existed back in June when lemmy.ml was the main instance

My friend switched to the default Reddit app after they killed RiF, he just told me today he's sick of it and made an account on world so there's definitely still people trickling over

For me two things come to mind:

• X's influence - they are doing some stupid $hit (like removing ability to block people). So I guess my brain decided it is fed up with corpo apps.
• degradation of content quality - I feel like Reddit has served it's purpouse, and I struggle to find something funny and/or informative. When I opened Lemmy for the first time, at least 4 interesting articles came on my feed.

Did their admins do some stupid shit again?

This seems to be a fair assumption whenever we see a new wave to be honest.

Not finnish, but still appreciate it!

Suomi?
