Nice. Might as well leave my first comment here. Hi!

Is anyone else just enjoying seeing people create actual user names again and not just using the automatically generated ones reddit has done for awhile?

I’d be here more if I didn’t need to re-log in every few pages. It’s annoying, and I haven’t found a solution.

“What?! Logged out again?! Well, screw it, at least Reddit doesn’t log me out every time I refresh a page.”

This is what happened when I joined obviously

Reddit’s auto moderation has gone haywire. You can’t say anything bad about nazis now.

Ready for this

A lot of folks here are talking about Reddit being shitty but I switched because I’m in Europe and I don’t want to enrich especially US Companies off of my personal data.

That’s really good to see. But it will be far more interesting to see what the numbers are a month and longer are from now. If they don’t stick, it’s pretty meaningless.

If you are here and want lemmy to succeed, please consider donating. The devs used to get by mostly by nlnet foundation grants but are trying to shift to a more sustainable donation based model. You can see how they are doing on the join-lemmy website when you scroll down to the bottom, there are also links to their liberapay (preferred option) paetreon, etc.

Hey look! I’m a statistic! Not the one I expected.

This is probably active ones too, so the ones that don’t comment (like me) don’t count… except this time. I would say it would be around same size as the active ones, but I have no data to prove that.

Is this something that should be really celebrated? I mean, the reason I joined is because it’s not reddit. And I feel that this place will turn into reddit 2.0 if we’re not careful.

And I am glad I am one of them. Not because of an anti-US sentiment (as in: towards American citizens) but as more pro-Europe move.
