We’re getting a slow but steady stream of signups, but most of you are just lurking. Creating at least one post or comment helps boost our active user count, which in turn gets us higher on the join-lemmy.org website so that more people see our little corner of the Fediverse when deciding where to sign up. I don’t expect to ever be one of the major servers of the Lemmiverse, but I do think the more people we have here the more fun it will be.
To that end, please leave a comment here introducing yourself to the server, especially if you have been lurking up till now. Or, just go out there and comment anywhere on Lemmy (it doesn’t have to be on our instance) so that you are counted as active!
Hello!
I picked this instance out of a big list over at GitHub because its name caught my eye. I heard about Lemmy when Apollo was announcing its shutdown. I never used it however, and I mostly only lurked on Reddit.
I thought about self-hosting, but decided that it’s not worth the effort (and costs) for now, so thank you, @[email protected] for setting up Villa Straylight.
