I'm ride or die once my 3PA stops working, so I hope it sticks around.
Gotta say, it would be more attractive if every other post wasn't a meta post about the platform and/or reddit. I hope we get some bots capable of ripping reddit posts and slapping them into Lemmy communities. As much as I'd like to pretend I'm a man of culture, sometimes I want shitposts and Tiktok reposts of someone's dog being stupid...
That's funny, because I am quite interested in the meta reddit posts. It's interesting to see how things are unfolding. Though I do think it will of course settle down with time
I sure as hell hope so. After everything that's happened over at Reddit I don't feel like going back. I'm not one to come back to anabusibe relationship ya know? So like yeah I hope Lemmy lasts it seems to hold up well against the Sands of time at the very least, if it lasts as long as Reddit and things go south instead of having to jump ship, you can just migrate servers. Plus, at least at this point in time, there have been no red flags, all we need is for the userbase to participate.
Too early to say. We'd only really know for sure after the recent growth wave finishes up.
Define die. It's been slowly growing for the last 3 years. If it goes back to that it's still good.
Itll last I just joined today and got 3 people to join. Gonna start ripping posts from reddit and slapping them to lemmy
Lemmy is really the only solution because it is becoming as indepth as reddit is/was. What sucks is it will still be like a splinternet situation, having to spread all of our solutions across the internet.
I just need the RIF client made into a LIF client to solidify the permanence of Lemmy.
I almost hope it "fails" to replace reddit, since reddit was/is crap. I'd perfer if lemmy remained relatively small, without the toxic userbase and spammy content of reddit.
Voat, a previous Reddit competitor, managed to survive for years, even though it attracted a much more niche audience than Lemmy.
This site gives me reddit in 2011 vibes. Loving it
Lemmy is turning into a left-wing echo chamber. The mods have declared that right-leaning opinions are not welcome and are defederating from any right-leaning instances. If you declare that half the population is not welcome, you're really limiting your reach. It's also going to be a pain to have two logins, one for lemmy.world and one for the free speech instances.
Freedom of speech for you, freedom of association for us. It's all freedom.
How dare we keep the shit out, amirite?
maybe when conservatives stop their whole experimentation with fascism people will let them participate again
Maybe the problem is that your definition of fascism is "anyone who disagrees with me"?
I’ll be here. I like that it takes a little more effort, it’s a little cumbersome or gatekeepy, but it also seems to keep the vibe more like the early internet and less like whatever it has currently turned into.
It reminds me of crypto spaces but without the incentive and monetization of action that seems to lead to a scammy and disingenuous feel to the content.
Definitely will die. I just don't see how instances will be supported financially. The fediverse is nice but at the end of the day, the instances are running somewhere and there are bills to pay.
