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.

    The paradigm of having a home base instance and being able to venture out into the fediverse is just incredible. There’s a sense of community and comraderie that was never present on reddit. And yet there’s a breadth of users and perspectives that you could never find on smaller internet forums or platforms.

    Couldn’t agree more, I really believe that federated self hosted sites have the potential to supercede the centralized internet. The fundamental experience is superior, and people will eventually begin to realize that.

    Imagine an internet where nobody is trying to sell you something. Or worse, sell you (to advertisers). What a concept.
