I actually don’t remember what taught me about Lemmy and Kbin’s existence.

For me it was a german podcast about social media called "Haken dran". For a short time, they had a community on feddit.de, where the hosts also occassionally visited and sometimes they would mention "feddit" in their podcast, which got me on the hook.

Sadly, the podcast by now moved its community to discord.

Anyways, I do think metions in podcasts, YouTube videos, etc., matter. It raises awareness beyond the big companies fucking things up ... though I think the most effective thing to grow the Fediverse is to code better software.

Its kind of hard to say because I don't think X is giving out reliable numbers about their own monthly active users, so. ..

 

I tried multiple times to win over H.P.-communities to join Lemmy, until now with no success. Usually they either dont reply, threaten to ban me (Reddit) or say they dont have the time.

The latter happened to me just recently. They heard about the Fediverse, think its cool, but are already overwhelmed with keeping the site up.

What do you think here? Are you having similar experiences? Are you even doing it? Whould it be a good idea to propose a minimal solution like RSS-integration rather than full AP-support?

Awesome! Themed instances are so important for the Fediverse. I wish you all the best :)

What aren't they joining Mastodon and Lemmy? Or even Threads?

Yes, and if called out, they say it happens for freedom of speech, which is absurd given that the richest man on earth provides the infrastructure and has a large presence on the platform himself.

There are definitely more vegans on lemmy but given they are frequently targeted with harassment and trolling I doubt all of them are willing to expose themselves to such behavior.

For real. There’s a significant number of downvotes on this article even. What the hell?

As if. People disagreeing with you is not harassement. I guess almost no one want you to stop not eating meat.

I’m happy lemmy is flexible enough to offer spaces for all of us, assholes be damned. Thanks for offering places for people to feel comfortable!

Amen to that

I'm pretty sure most just don't know about us or don't care

Interesting! Is there a video of the event?

Blusky has 13 millions registered users but what about their monthly active users?

 
 
 

I know the issue has been answered before, but does anyone know if there exists some kind of work-around until the actual disable-image-upload is implemented in Lemmy?

Still exited though (lemmy.world)
