I just joined up too after having lots of issues on lemmy.world, which is not surprising with how many people are flooding over. Someone commented about lemm.ee and I’m also really liking it. The performance difference is huge! I also love how the owner/dev talks about the instance. Seems like this will be a good one to stick with and use as primary.

I am curious about membership counts on communities though. On other instances I’ll see a community member count of around 1000 and on here, it shows the (same community) is nowhere near that high. Are you saying that the lower number is more accurate? Or maybe it’s a syncing issue and with all the signups happening the numbers just haven’t had a chance to get caught up?

Check out lemm.ee - the dev seems to be on top of things. If you read the post by lemmy.world’s admin about fixing some issues, he/she actually credits lemm.ee for the fix so seems like you’re in good hands on that instance.

That would suck. It’s like when it’s so cold out cars can have issues starting, but at least you can get inside. You’d think if the 12v battery was dead on the Tesla you could plug it into a charger on the outside of the car. Maybe a feature for a future model.

This website here (https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy) that tracks Lemmy statistics shows around 60,000 monthly active users but no telling how accurate this is. It seems we’re in the middle of a major event taking place with people shifting over so it could take some time before we know how many people really left Reddit and moved here.

The FBI recommends using an ad blocker - “Use an ad blocking extension when performing internet searches.” > https://www.ic3.gov/Media/Y2022/PSA221221

Also politicians like Kennedy did it. And so did jerry springer when he was a politician (he did away with it for his show). It’s kind of funny really

Lots of non tech savvy people use it simply because Microsoft forces it down your throat every chance they get.

I went 6 days a couple weeks ago without power due to a massive storm. After a few days I purchased a small solar panel that has a USB port in it you can plug in anything that needs a charge. Works really good! It’s only 10 watt so charges pretty slowly but when you’re fully cut off from the grid, it’s a life safer. Definitely my most worthy purchase in quite some time.

Eww yeah their whole data infrastructure is sketchy af. I used them in the past (just in time to make sure all my data was in their hands when it was breached) and doing simple billing changes were way more confusing than it should have been because their whole system is like a decade behind.
