The website isn't worthless so much as the watermark on memes.

"Lemmy is a selfhosted social link aggregation and discussion platform."

Non-techie people: wat

[-] Rolando@lemmy.world 67 points 1 year ago

ikr all that join-lemmy needs to do is list a bunch of servers and say: browse these, click Join if you like it.

Even that is too hard for most people, you need to be able to download an app from the appstore and register in under 2 minutes, then lemmy needs to provide enough interesting content easily for the average person to stay.

Lemmy doesn't aim to captivate and take over your attention like most social media does. If that's what people want, they should stick to their other platforms.

Oh. It does. It does.

Nowadays I can doomscroll for hours

Yeah but I find lemmy to be less Instant dopamine and more thought provoking post

Which for me I think is really healthy cause I wrecked my attention span

So you think Beef Stroganoff is thought provoking?

I'm more of a beans person myself.

Then again, there can be any kind of mix of different instances on a server so maybe the uptime + the rules is even more important?

Cool site!

Just a question, you say my instance have like 8 users which is maybe correct, but this site says it's like a hundred:

https://img.shields.io/lemmy/moebius_art%40lemmy.mindoki.com?logo=lemmy&label=Total%20Subscribers

So maybe I'm mixing stuff up, but I have already had like 10+ upvotes on a post, so are they "users" ?

Cheers and continue the good work!

I go off FediDB for my stats. so it needs to be above x users for it to get added. Also TY TY <3

No one reads the watermarks on an image anyway because everyone assumes them to be from meme generators.

Just overlay every single watermark ontop of eachother.

Imagine thinking that advertising doesn't work

Lemmy is like reddit but instead of reddit mods we have instance mommies. Lemmy.blahaj.zone <3
