News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

So tangentially to the post, I guess the implied question is: when will Lemmy see another explosion in its userbase.
And to that...I don't know.
I've been trying to get away from reddit for a while and the problem with Lemmy is two fold
Very minor: it requires me to unblock cloudflare when I'm using noscript
More major, I still don't have an intuitive understanding of how lemmy works. On reddit if I was interested in knitting, going to old.reddit.com/r/knitting would be a good starting point.
I'm still confused about multiple instances, why bifurcate the community (are there multiple instances of knitting communities on lemmy?).
I (perhaps foolishly) consider myself slightly above average in terms of tech literacy; if I'm this confuse I do wonder how are others going to fare.
It won't, most likely. Old users are rather going offline than migrating. And the federated nature of lemmy and having to deal with censorhappy instance admins and dying instances keep communities lose members each time when forced to migrate.
As far as I know, lemm.ee was the only notable instance that was shut down - and I believe most communities on there successfully migrated to a mixture of piefed.social, lemmy.zip and a smattering of others.
!movies@piefed.social is the heir of the lemm.ee version, and is now more active that the old one used to be
btw about your cloudflare issue, its only on lemmy.world and not other instances. try another one
