I got a reply to a 9.5 year old comment two days ago…

This is why he’ll win. Because Republicans live in an echo chamber where they think Biden is incompetent. If you look at the record he’s the best president since FDR.

I don’t think they’ll delete this. This is their future.

Yes it was interesting finding communities banned from Reddit who seemed like they had been here awhile.

I can’t find it now. The number that I saw was 1.09 million, but I can’t find the site I saw it on now. I think a bunch of them must be purged spam accounts maybe.

I don’t think people really understand that reddit is an 18 year old product. Their original site was iterated on for 10 years before they stopped building on it.

Lemmy will get there and beyond. As the fediverse attracts more users, it will also attract more contributors. I’m starting to learn Rust myself in hopes I can contribute to the project at some point down the line.

Please for anyone reading, just be patient. Keep posting and commenting and it WILL grow. There are only like 1.2 million Lemmy users versus hundreds of millions of redditors.

If you follow the 90-9-1 rule, that leaves very few actual contributors and still Lemmy has a lot of good content daily. Just be patient and it will come.

Totally agree. Each sub top mod should submit one good post per day at a minimum.

What Lemmy needs now more than anything is commenters. If the site is to succeed, it needs robust comment sections.

I don’t generally block anyone on social media. I don’t want to block racists and then not be able to report their racism.

I remember back when you could only download one song at a time from there. But you’re right. There is an insane amount of good music there.

I was trying to but the instance was down.

Yes, I’m sure.

Is etree.org not still up?

I’m trying. It’s hard when they keep falling face-first into the pavement on a weekly basis.

I’m still in the transition phase. I was pretty intertwined with the site so it takes a little time to unwind all of that.

Heard. Twitter seems like the main nazi site now though.

Throw coins and awards on the pile.

My highest voted comment of all time got 11.4K upvotes. It was a comment on a meme thread with a blockquote of some text from the meme.

My comment consisted of one word: “gold”.

Interesting solution to the problem…
