oh damn a rif redirect happened?
average reddit refugee
oh damn a rif redirect happened?
join-lemmy.org shows a few instances at the top of its join page:
lemmy.fmhy.ml (which is based)
sh.itjust.works which im pretty sure is having a free speech or too much user choice problem atm
lemm.ee, a general instance
sopuli.xyz, which i know nothing about (who is finn???)
i dont see .world until a further scroll down from those. did they change it?
is the slogan, front-page of the internet
so far it has the Reddit feel
isnt that reddits slogan? no kidding, buddy. no kidding. (i mean this in a positive way)
sh.itjust.works is an unbearable name to read. i read dots in a website link like the end of a sentence (ex lemmy.world would be lemmy {break} dot {break} world.) good instance, despise the name
congrats from .ca!
while im here: does anybody actually know why lemmy.world grew the fastest out of all of the instances? its not the “main” instance like .ml, not a safe space like beehaw, and a normal general instance like itjust.works. im curious why out of all places, .world got the main influx
you cant really return to normalcy from this, but i dont think most users care. whenever i get into a casual convo about the fediverse online, the general consensus from people is ‘yeah reddit isnt going to die, i’ll stay on reddit for my communities’. so if the majority think reddit isn’t going to die and continue using the site, it probably wont die! it’ll just go back to normal with a few million less users (which actually isnt that much for a big site) unless spez hilariously fucks up
really the fediverse is just a lot of people who like tech at the end of the day, not the average web user
i like the community but
spez a real one fr
