Lemmy is booming

I have never before received so many reactions and comments on my Lemmy posts before, so it’s obvious to see, that there are many new members here.
Welcome to all the new! And I’m looking forward to see more of you here.
Cheers!

    And this is only the second day since the API changes were announced. I expect there will be lots of people coming over in the month of June, and probably another big influx on July first when Reddit apps shut down for real

      I’m taking the opportunity of learning Lemmy, standing up my own instance, and creating a couple of niche communities that I care about. That way when the hammer drops I have links ready to go to post everywhere. I also have created “how-to” posts to help people if they choose to migrate.

      I see some people telling people they need to migrate though, and that’s not working. People resist that sort of talk. I’m trying to keep it “Hey, letting you know this exists if you want to try it out, you don’t have to but we’re here if you get curious”
