On the Lemmy specific front, Active daily users seems to still be stabilising following the exodus from elsewhere, Comments and Posts both seem to be on the rise though – promising stats all in all.
Wow its Crazy, I think this is the end of an era for centralized social media. #fuckyoufacebook #fuckyoureddit #fuckyoutwitter
Most people don’t care about ethics /politics or the networks and corporations. They will use what’s convenient — familiar facebook where friends and family already are, instagram where you get (this frustrates me the most) announcements from cool places about events, twitter where shitshtorms and instant news happen and so on.
None of my friends moved or know about Fediverse. Some heard about Mastodon.
end of an era
… is too strong I think. Big social will probably persist some time.
It’s more accurate to say beginning of a new era where decentralised, FOSS, federated social media has been put on the map, and may very well be a genie that can’t be put back in the bottle.
reddit is for plebs at this point
Hell yeah. Special shout-out to Sync for Lemmy for reeling me back in as a daily user.
I just came from Reddit, and I hear a lot about Sync. Anyone willing to let me know what it is and how it is important to Lemmy?
It’s just another third party app. But it has made the transition from a reddit app to a lemmy app.
Anything was better than reddit official app which was garbage. I preferred Relay. But for people used to sync, it is familiar and a smooth experience here like they were used to there.
For lemmy I prefer Jerboa an open source app, but sync is free to try as well (although it had ads).
Thanks, so it seems like those apps that were going to be charged for the API have a place to transition to. Nice!
Lets keep on keepin on!
I’m so damn happy to be here for it. This place just feels like the back in the day kind of internet. Lemmy 4 Lyfe like I say, yes yes
