Lemmy should not try to be a carbon copy of a 20 year-old VC-funded for-profit site with hundreds of millions of users. Lemmy should establish its own identity and play to its strengths.

With the BotDefense team leaving Reddit due to increasing hostility, it sure would be nice if they could find a new home in the Fediverse.

Do you mean in terms of finding communities?

Break the ice, make a post. It’s not so bad 😜

If you’re looking for a community and it doesn’t exist, click “Create Community” and build it!

It’s ok to say hello 😀

Cool, which city?

Where are those?

Worked out ok this time 😀

That’s awesome! 😀 Hello and welcome!

What are some of your favorite communities?

how do you feel about beans?

don’t be shy, it’s ok to say hi 👋

yes it is, did it work?

Absolutely, participate! If Reddit was a huge megalopolis then Lemmy is still a small town. We’re here so early that we have the opportunity to shape how things develop.

Wow I got your one comment per year 😀 What sorts of stuff are you interested in, and how well does the current Fediverse offerings line up with them? What would you like to see?
