You're doing your best and that's OK!

Why was Obama crying?

[–] branchial@feddit.de 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He was moved by the speech Obama gave for him.

[–] BrewJajaja@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

Oh wow, of course, duh. It was so obviously obvious.

[–] Saik0Shinigami@lemmy.saik0.com 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's seems that my audience was also mostly just one person... That person is dedicated though.

My account here is 4 years old. I was so excited to learn about Lemmy back then, but the user base was painfully low. I'm getting that same excitement I had back then.

Please new people, make this your permanent home and forget Reddit!

I'm grateful to see open source softwares blow up online

[–] sagittarie@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

Yes, I'm very proud of the Reddit community for several times over the years mass-recommending open source and federated options.

[–] asexualchangeling@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's honestly been amazing to witness, it's still got a ways to go before it's anything like mainstream but still

LEMMY'S GOT TECHIES, IT'S GOT TREKKIES, IT'S GOT MASTODON INTEGRATION AND ISN'T OWNED BY A CORPORATE ENTITY, OR ANY GOVERNMENT! RADICAL!

[–] super_user_do@feddit.it 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Let's get this to 500!

[–] z3k3lon@lemmy.pt 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think we reached 500 already. To 1000!

[–] SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, just passed 600...

I'm doing my part! 👍

[–] Ultra980@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago (5 children)

"I'm doing my part!" is probably the most used meme on Lemmy

I joined a year ago and it's crazy, i remember getting excited over 20 upvotes, that AMA and the whole 3rd party fiasco really brought a lot of people here!

I feel nostalgic in advance for having stumbled on an inside joke that I was almost around early enough to be on the inside of but can nevertheless clearly project myself there.

[–] randromeda@lemmy.ml 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My first comment was the most upvoted comment on a subreddit. I got 19 upvoted.

[–] mrmanager 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

People are just much more supportive and friendlier here. But I guess because we are in a state now before all the assholes join from reddit...

I still can’t get my iOS app to let me comment

[–] 21trillionsats@infosec.pub 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh shit it actually worked, upvotes for all. Sorry for shitting on you mLem!

[–] BrewJajaja@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Wait is there a specific Lemmy person? Because I initially though that this site was some Motorhead fan page that evolved into a reddit alternative lol lol. Im so old.

[–] hschen@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 year ago

Nah its named after Lemmy, but not a fan page haha

[–] ndr@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

From their Github:

Why's it called Lemmy?

Lead singer from Motörhead.

The old school video game.

The Koopa from Super Mario.

The furry rodents.

I remember before federation was an implemented feature and there were like 5 instances that couldn't talk with each other. I feel old now.

[–] TauZero@mander.xyz 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I remember reddit before even subs when it was just a single page for tech news :(
