Feel welcome to use this post for testing purposes, feedback on the instance and to say hi!

Since the playground model wasn’t really that good (it prevents users from making things their home), I’ve decided not to announce this instance to be in playground/testing mode. Instead, i’ll simply try to make it work and hope that it won’t become an administrative nightmare.

However – things are looking quite good so far.

In the background i am currently trying to determine whether the current location is powerful enough midterm, if not, there will be a quick and quiet maintenance to move the thing to a more fitting place (looking at the potential upcoming wave from Reddit). Also there are some smaller things in the background still being worked on, but they shouldn’t affect users.

tl;dr have fun, if everything goes well, this will be a permanent place for people to enjoy – i hope. 🚀

    Lemmy definitely has a bit of a learning curve compared to reddit, but hey, nothing is free. Interested in seeing how this goes!

      I’m curious about what #lemmy is or is heading at, and I don’t know reddit. We’ll see…

    Just Hi everyone.

    I arrived by the flight from reddit. It was all right, no major turbulences, landing was smooth. And for once security didn’t make me loose 3h at the airport.

    Hey everyone, I’m just looking at Lemmy for the first time. I’m still slightly overwhelmed 😁 But I had that at the beginning with Mastodon too. 😅

      welcome! yes, first impression can be overwhelming but it usually doesn’t take long to get used to it. i even have the thing open in my phones browser sometimes which i rarely do with any site. :)

    Hey everyone, I’ve been on lemmy for a while if anyone has any questions, just made an account here since, well it exists, and also lemmy.ml is having trouble with the influx of new users.

    Hi, I’m a first time lemmy user. It’s amazing what you set up at tchncs.de and I must say I’m a bit overwhelmed by all the choices. Thank you.

    Since Reddit is currently performing the Twitter-Musk stunt and wants to have the API for third-party apps gold-plated, I have to give Lemmy a try.

    Thanks to @milan@lemmy.ml for the opportunity.
