It sounds like you actually care about all of this. Thanks for making a refugee camp for us. Keep being professional about it and I’m sure you will nurture a great community.

Another Reddit refugee here - thanks for setting up this instance.

Thanks for setting this up, looks like there's an issue with the profile pic upload, returns a 400

Hello! I'm moving over from Lemmy.World due to federation issues and heard this place was better. Currently using the Connect app!

So I’m new to this whole decentralization thing. I’m using the Memmy app on my phone thru apples test flight. An example they used was lemm.ee is like our local post office, we send letters to our neighbor down the street but can also receive a funny letter from far away places like lemmy.world and lemmy.ml. Is that a good example?

Like lemm.ee is totally self sufficient from lemmy.world but I can still see their content

And one quick question. What makes a good server, because I just chose this one because it was at the top of a list when I made my account and I have no clue what I’m doing

Hello folks. I finally left Reddit after 12 yrs and I just want to say Thanks to the creator of this instance. I will take a look around for a while and will be participating soon. Cheers!

I am a reddit and now lemmy.world refugee. Things just seem to work here. Thanks!

I made an account here on lemm.ee but I can't login to any other lemmy instance (lemmy.world, beehaw.org, etc) and I thought it was supposed to be cross-login. Is it due to the influx of traffic from reddit that this is just not working as intended, or have I done something incorrectly?

Edit: Oh I see how it works. I can see content from all those other places if I go into Communities and then click All. Sorry for being a noob, I hope another noob sees this and learns!

Thanks for creating this instance! Reddit refugee here enjoying the discovery phase of what appears to be the new place. I was part of the digg migration to reddit over 11 years ago. The exodus from reddit to Lemmy feels similar. Using Jerboa for Android: so far so good.

Just created an account here! I've been on Lemmy since the Black Out, at lemmy.world.

However I wasn't happy with Lemmy.world admin decisions concerning defederation (They didn't want to preemptively defederate Meta but they did it with some socialist instance) and inconsistent uptime. Lots of people are recommending this instance, so I decided to move here!

Just created an account here, hello everyone :)

Literally coming from reddit. This is a great first impression!

Nice work!

I was very close to buying the lemm.ee domain last week! I'm glad you got it and could put it to good use. I ended up going with a different domain (upvote.au) for my instance instead.

Hello! Just a test comment, using Sync for Lemmy.

Thank you so much! Recent events on Reddit have compelled me to explore alternative platforms, and I'm genuinely intrigued by the outcome. Will Reddit meet its demise? Will Lemmy flourish? It's incredibly fascinating to see what lies ahead. Additionally, I'd like to inquire about donating to your cause. How I can contribute to this Lemmy instance or support your efforts?

Ngl I joined this instance just because I think the logo is cute, with the e e as the eyes

Another Reddit refugee. I always feel facinated when discovering open source alternatives to things I use. Thank you!!

Things are much peppier over here than at the .world! 👍

New members, after you’ve gotten acclimated, please consider financially supporting lemm.ee. This place is extremely well run and useful!

I like how you've set lemm.ee up, thinking of signing up. Out of curiosity, is not having any instance blocked a policy of sorts? I ask because I couldn't help but notice this is the largest instance with no blacklist according to awesome-lemmy-instances, and I do rather enjoy the idea of being able to have a home from where I can mostly enjoy lemmy as I see fit.

Hey everyone! Excited to get started with lemmy :)

Does anyone have recommendations for fairly active communities? In particular a community for informative videos along the lines of r/mealtimevideos would be great

I deleted my twelve year reddit account yesterday as soon as the Sync app gave the error. The day the internet died! Kinda bittersweet. I'm subscribing to a number of Lemmy communities that may develop into the type of places I used to hang out. I tend to lurk unless there is a thread subject on which I have some expertise and think a comment would add value. It is like starting over to find those specialized subject areas and posters here but I'm treating it like a new adventure. I never had a Twitter account but am also giving Mastodon a try too. Thanks for lemm.ee and the fediverse alternative!

Motivated to quit reddit b/c of changes to advert policy

Hi! Coming from Reddit, I really want an iOS app like Apollo to browse Lemmy.

Hello! Came over here from .world because of issues on posting commenting over there (hope they get resolved though). Glad to be a part of this instance. I'll probably fight with my alter-ego on the .world instance as well.

Random: For the whole fediverse, I hope there would be a community/sub like thanosdidnothingwrong. I was spared on the last iteration on the big old R.

I wonder how I'd fare this time.

Reddit -> VLemmy -> Lemm.ee here, like several others! Whenever I have trouble reaching Lemm.ee now I immediately assume it imploded. 😆 Fingers crossed it has a long and successful existence!

Thank you for setting this up. For the most part, I understand the federated nature of Lemmy, but finding an instance that doesn't get bogged down to the point where I can't log in or can't sign up for a new account...that has been incredibly frustrating.

Can I ask how you're funding this? Are you perhaps taking donations?

Cheers :)

Man this is refreshing to see, just recently deleted my Twitter and Reddit accounts bc it was just getting too frustrating dealing with how those sites are handled so I’m excited to see how this goes!

Have been a Reddit user since 2009. Has been difficult to make the transition. You get complacinet as you get older. I was never a big contributor but this seems like a solid alternative

I didn't even know this existed until people started talking about it in the last month. Glad I was able to get here before all the reddit apps shutdown

Hello fellow redditors and especially hello dear lemm...ings? What do we call ourselves when we move here? I hope enough people bleed over to here to populate the site so that we have an abundance of content!

I'm just off the boat. Deleted the boost for reddit, deleted my posts, deleted my account.

I'm looking forward to this growth equally as much as I am looking forward to the downfall of reddit.

First post as a Apollo refugee looking to find a new home, thanks for the image explaining lemmy!

Thank you for setting up this instance in wake of the great Reddit migration. It's nice to have alternatives.

Still trying to wrap my head around Lemmy, but I appreciate the server!

Just created an account here now. Has an account on lemmy.world. It faces serious downtime. Looking forward to having a nice experience here.

Permanently Deleted

I don't know what to type but hi 🙃

Hi guys. Well this is overwhelming! I wasn't on Reddit as long as many. 7½ years, and a bit shy of 300k Karma. So I feel like in that time I did my part. But it's nice to have an alternative.

I'm still learning the basics with Lemmy. What happens to my account if the instance that it was created on somehow....dies? Is that a stupid question? Sorry if it is.

Switching to here for lemmy.world since I joined it when it was still fresh, now it's overloaded on a daily basis at this point

Damn, new life 🥳

After lemmy got unusable through lemmy.world (No offense, but half my API calls never get answered)😅

Thank you for this. Now I can feel I'm supporting a service that actually thinks about its users and not some ass like reddit.

Already the best instance since I can actually log into it!

Can we defederate from hexbear please

reddit refugee here - thanks for setting this up!

Goodbye Reddit, hello LEMM.EE

As a reddit refugee I just feel the need to comment.

Permanently Deleted

Came here from the Digg 2.0 implosion. Once Sync went down, I jumped ship. I like talking about subjects without having adds jammed into my face 24/7

I first made an account on lemmy.world, but I feel like this should be better

reddit refugee, thank you thank you

Hello Everyone:

Thx for the warm welcome from both Admin & users alike. I’m new here, so learning as I go.

This is an excellent overview/how-to/FAQ. Very accessible & clear - appreciate all the obvious effort that went into its creation/dissemination.

I’m still getting familiar with the lingo/technicals/acc’t. settings, etc.

Glad to be here. Look forward to getting to know my way around, meet/greet, too.

Peace to All.

Is Lemm.ee broken? Such low visibility, activity, it feels dead. Something is not jiving.

My first comment! I wish lemmy a bright future 👍

Feels super stable coming in from lemmy.world being hugged to death. Thanks for your hard work!

Thanks for hosting the instance.

Sync refugee here, it's lovely to see how nice everyone is on here. It'll take some getting used to but so far I'm enjoying it

Hey there, I'm just another refugee from Reddit with no tech skills. Fumbled a bit trying to figure out this site, I'll begin to learn now that I was able to create an account, all thanks to you ✌️

Coming here from Apollo, tried mastodon but felt too twitter-y so I quit

I hope this feels more Reddit-y

Hey y'all. Reddit refugee here.. Excited to be a part of Lemmy! Still a bit confused about account creation.. Is it better to create different usernames for each Instances? I seem to be able to reuse the username on different instances that I have logged into. Doesn't this risk identity theft?

Finally, something similar to Reddit that isn't the worst on the planet and is actually open source!!! I also like the layout! I feel like I'm supporting something better!

Happy to be here, thanks for hosting it! This is much more performant than lemmy.world.

Another reddit refugee, in search of a real alternative. Just sign up but look like a good community here...

Thank you for setting this up. Reddit refugee and looking to stick with Lemmy for now on. This gives me the great Digg migration vibes :)

Is there anyways to stop the "all" tab from updating? It sucks to lose a thread when it updates with a bunch of posts.

Thank you for setting up the server. This sticky post and FAQ are very helpful for a newbie like me.

Thanks for hosting this. Refugee from Reddit.

using this now

Looks like I joined the right place finally. Been looking for a good community since reddit killed itself.

Super excited to be here! Any suggestions for building my feed? Do I need to create accounts across multiple instances or can I subscribe to things across all using the search function?

Yet another reddit refugee. Thanks so much for setting this up. Going to try and get as many people as I can to make the switch over from reddit!

Just started exploring the Fediverse (Mastodon first as an exile from the 'bird that's no longer a bird' app and thought I'd have a look at Lemmy too. So far I must say I'm really enjoying them both!

Whatever you are doing, you're doing an incredible job at optimizing the instance. You are faster than my closest instances despite being half the world away. Thanks!

Guess I'm a refugee

How come there isn't a logo on the site?

I'm a reddit refugee and after looking at lemmy instances to join for a week, I've settled on this because I like the admin policies and self regulation of content. Thank you for setting this up for everyone.

Permanently Deleted

WefWef seemingly filling the void that Apollo left me. Looking forward to see what Lemm.ee can do.

As a Reddit refugee, I can’t express my gratitude for you setting this up. Please let us know if we can contribute in the future!

Another reddit refugee here! Although my preferred reddit app, Infinity, is still working at the moment, I no longer want to use reddit as my frontpage of the internet due to the actions & attitude of spez towards the users, mods, and 3rd party developers. I'm thrilled to be here at Lemmy. Thank you so much for hosting this instance! I will become a sponsor if I can.

Thanks for being a haven for refugees. At the same time, do you know what kind of FREAKS you're taking in?

How do I remove this pinned post from my feed?

Looks like the rush is over, the total users number has flattened out according the-federation.info/platform/73. Probably a good thing since it was getting a bit hectic with the sudden demand. Anyway this instance is performing very nicely on desktop browser for me, very little lag or delay anywhere. It's a pleasant experience. Thanks to the admin for an excellent server, also nice you're on the latest updates.

Unfortunately, my previous instance has had some issues with stability and database corruption repeatedly. Lost posts, subscriptions etc. I am here now due to the similar federation policy, which I believe is the right one. The performance is also great. Very promising!

Deleted 15 y.o. account. No RIF, no reddit. Fuck spez. o7

Hello! Looks good here! Looking forward to a great future!

Came here after vlemmy got nuked.

Wee! Thanks for lemmeeing me in! :)

Ok, so this is my first time using lemmy, been about almost a week since I deleted the official reddit app. Was annoying with the ads, but what made me finally delete it, was it not respecting my wishes that I didn’t want notifications, constantly asking about it again. I used Apollo which was pretty great, but it would have been nice having the Sync app I had on android, there was just nothing like it. Now since July 1st I switched over to the official app, but that’s just bad. Hope I have a nice time here! They should fix logging in with the site, cause that just doesn’t work, having no effect when I log in. Luckily this works, am curious :)

When you delete a comment, can you also remove your username from that comment? I deleted some comments and it still showed my username on my end. Checked here in this topic if someone deleted their comment and someone has, but you can still see his/her username.

Libreddit refugee here, so glad there is a working alternative for Reddit still, thank you! I will miss Libreddit, but I hope this will be a fresh start.

Looks like a stable and fast platform.

On behalf of all the refugees out there I can't thank you enough for creating this instance. I was shocked that subreddits with millions of followers, were willing to shoot themselves in the foot and jeopardize their userbase and the years information they contained just to play slackivist. It got to the point that I couldn't use reddit because of my subs were privated. If people really want to stick it to the man at RedditHQ, leave. Reddit was supposed to be about the people and the community. I guess we forgot about...

Enough about that, thank for making a place for us Reddit expatriates and refugees.

Just joined today and am excited for lemm.ee!

What's the deal with this youtube_feed_bot? I've blocked the account but for newcomers to this instance that thing floods the local postings.

Hi!

I created an account here after struggling for weeks on .world. I sincerely hope they can figure out all the issues because I still consider there my "home" for now ;)

Hello, so for some reason there isn't a "show NSFW" option in the settings? I don't really subscribe to anything for that, but I'd like the option to decide for myself in my subscriptions. I'd this just an error on my part?

By the way, if anybody has any questions about how to use Lemmy, or maybe suggestions for this particular instance, just drop a comment or post here!

I just created my account here, my main account is from Lemmy.world, but as it is a good thing to spread on the Fediverse (and also Lemmy.world is struggling to keep alive because of diverse reasons) I created an account in another instance and this one.

My biggest concern right now is the .ee domain, wouldn't this be a problem for not that popular domains to end up like lemmy.fmhy.ml did?

I mean, it seems like a very unusual scenario, but yet I could never see this happening to .com or .net domains.

Thanks for the instance! What is this instance's stance on privacy? (for example, do you intend to keep logs indefinitely, and do you only keep the minimum data necessary to run the service)

Hi there! Thanks for creating and maintaining all this, I really appreciate it! Really excited about the concept of the fediverse. Looking forward to my time here!

Thanks for setting this up <3

Hi, I've been enjoying lemmy for the past couple of days. The only things that I miss from reddit is the grid view from the Shine for Reddit chrome extension and the multi-subreddit feature. I feel like making custom multi-communities threads would benefit lemmy tremendously to keep track of similar communities across all instances. Also I would like suggestions for VR communities as I currently can only find one. Also thanks for making this lemmy instance.

Hi guys, Reddit refugee here! What's the best mobile app to use for Lemmy?

Fuck Reddit. First Lemmy post let's go!!!!

hi!! also new, and also a relatively late reddit refugee, but i've heard of lemmy a long time ago

a friend recommended this instance and yall seem chill!!

As mannnyyyyy before me have already said, I too am a New Lemmy'er? ( How does one refer to users of Lemmy? Lol!) Refuge from Reddit. I was a long time adopter of the Boost app, which I just saw the dev announce that he plans to make a Lemmy app! (Woohoo!)

Been on Reddit for nearly 10 years, but looking forward to this new adventure and fresh beginning.

Thank you for letting this weary RIF traveller find a safe space!

Reddit refugee reporting in from Boost and Apollo. RIP to those two and cheers to the future of Lemmy!

I trust this instance and have created my account here. Hope to have a nice experience here.

Does anyone have a good tutorial on how to use lemmy? For example, how to sub to popular communities? How to search for them?

Thanks for setting it up. This was recommended, so I joined it. Do you mind sharing how you pay for it? Are you prepared to scale it with demand?

Refugee from Reddit here, could someone please help explain what all of this is? I don't completely understand, sorry

I'm excited to be a part of this community! I only started browsing Reddit a few years ago (a coworker wouldn't stop talking about it) and posted maybe 10 or so times in that time because it just seemed like a sea of undulating noise. I don't recall a single username from there. Things feel a little cozier here and you seem like an honest and communicative admin so I'm optimistic!

Hey!

Quick question, Lemmy's comments use Markdown too, right?

very new here, hello! hoping this site takes off

Best of luck from the division by zero. Unlike you, we following the industry standard practice of "Yolo" 😅

This is exciting!

Hi all. I'm told this is the place to be. Entertain me!

I didn't save my lemmy.world account on my password manager, and wiped my browser's cookies. Thank you for setting up this planet.

I appreciate the approach you are taking with the infrastructure. I’m glad to have chosen this server! Your approach and transparency inspired me to sponsor. Thanks for all the great work you are doing on behalf of this community!

I'm another user coming from lemmy.world. Had a lot of connectivity issues there and hoping this is a more stable instance. This also seems like a safe option to help offload bigger servers and balance out the network.

Another vlemmy refugee here

reddit + apollo refugee and happy to be here! excited to dive head-first into lemmy 🤙

I’ve been here for a couple weeks now and of the instances I’ve tried out this one definitely suits me the best for now. I signed up for GitHub just so I can support the server via sponsorships. Thanks for all the work you do!

Uploading avatars/banners is broken at this moment. Didn't try posting images.

Request error: error sending request for url (http://10.114.0.3:8080/image): operation timed out

Love this place!
