I signed up for TTRPG network, not realizing I also can access Lemmy through it! To be honest I don't know a lot about how the fediverse works at all but so far I like what I'm seeing. Reminds me of reddit circa 2009. In fact, I think this is going to replace my use of Reddit altogether, as it definitely serves the purpose of providing endless content to scroll to.

MODERATORS
lemmy.world seems pretty saturated.
I'm having massive problems with Connect on mobile. I can see my feed but can't vote or post. Every time I try it says, "user not logged in". Hopefully whenever that's smoothed over I can contribute more.

Yeah, I switched over to another server simply because lemmy.world was slow and then got compromised with the whole injection thing. No other reason.

Well I mean when you have connectivity issues and authentication issues making you unable to log in, I more than get it. It's all well and good though as I hope Lemmy takes off. Growing pains is all!
Well this is good. It makes much more sense to spread out. I'm glad to see people stick with it and move to another instance instead of just quit altogether.
In a lot of ways, I’m happy to hear this. A lot of communities will thrive without the intervention of a central power.
Some communities will become toxic, and it will be up to the individual to figure out whether that’s for them or not- but at least they have a choice.
/r/fatpeoplehate inspired me to lose 135 LB. It wasn’t a bad subreddit.
Granted /r/coonworld /r/chimpout we’re both…Jesus Christ… but at least even the most vile of people had a voice.

I just signed up for a more local instance, but I've been looking for an easier way to swap over my subscriptions

Wait, where does it say that lemmy.world active users is tapering off?

Cus lemmy world is still bugged after the hack...
This sequence of events makes a lot of sense.
First, when leaving Reddit, people are going to gravitate towards one of the larger instances. That's what I personally did. I don't think I'd say I fully understand Lemmy and the Fediverse now, but I've been here long enough to now know more about how the instances thing works.
So second, as the userbase grows and people stay for longer, they learn how this place works. And third, if they dislike moderation or direction or server performance or what have you, they have enough experience to start from another instance or frequent it more and this less.
I expect we'll see other communities start to grow now, while the larger ones stay relatively constant.
That's part of the design, isn't it? Basically so no instance has dominance.
I'm not using lemmy as much because theres no RES
What features from RES do you miss? Maybe we can get them incorporated into lemmy
Full keyboard navigation (j and k to focus up and down posts, u to go to user profile, c to enter comments…) including toggling expandos, and regex keyword filtering for me.

I like the big instance in my country, the local section is nice to browse on its own.
