It really feels like Lemmy is alive because of you.
When I first checked out Lemmy, I wasn’t expecting there to be so much content, so much discussion, and so much community. But I’ve spent the better part of two days glued to my screen, browsing content all day. I’ve seen so many posts, so many interesting discussions about the fediverse, and of course, plenty of memes. It really feels like the start of something incredible.
I’ve gotta get back to work soon, but wow. I think this whole fediverse thing really is the next step for social media. If I find some extra time, I’ll definitely consider contributing to Lemmy’s source code to help this project and the FOSS ecosystem grow.
It seems like with no algorithms, and a set of common sense guidelines that Federated instances have, we can all learn to understand and respect each other better. Breaking free of billionaire, fossil fuel mafia and hostile anti-democracy government controlled manipulation is what freedom is all about. I love it.
