It will gain so much on July 1.
Noice. To the moon!
@MicroWave I had never heard of the Fediverse or kbin before the protests on Reddit. I’m really hoping this all takes off. I’ve been enjoying my time here so far.
I would like to contribute to our numbers!
Didn’t know my lurking didn’t count, another active user for the numbers!
I think Lemmy's Fediverse is harder to censor as well? They have a sprawl of domains that can federate to censored ones.
I'm happy to be here. Lemmy seems like a good place so far. I'm not sure if it will take off in the long term (I think a lot of people don't "get" the whole federated thing, just like with Mastodon), but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Mastodon has gotten really good at obfuscating the federation away in normal use, Lemmy and Kbin are picking up those tricks a lot faster.
For example, v18 made linking communities possible by just typing the name, and Lemmy then handles making it a working link on each instance.
The trickiest part will be having users pick an instance, but once past that hurdle, the federation aspect doesn't need to be a complicating factor.
