It really feels like Lemmy is alive because of you.
When I first checked out Lemmy, I wasn’t expecting there to be so much content, so much discussion, and so much community. But I’ve spent the better part of two days glued to my screen, browsing content all day. I’ve seen so many posts, so many interesting discussions about the fediverse, and of course, plenty of memes. It really feels like the start of something incredible.
I’ve gotta get back to work soon, but wow. I think this whole fediverse thing really is the next step for social media. If I find some extra time, I’ll definitely consider contributing to Lemmy’s source code to help this project and the FOSS ecosystem grow.
Humans long for connection. Our global, online community is becoming fragmented these days. It might be a good thing if we can build a more resilient and free community out of that.
So I’m just saying ‘hey!’ I’m among community and so are you. Let’s get back to contributing and not just mindlessly consuming content.
Yup, I agree. Once a community gets too big, it becomes too enticing for corporations to monetize. I hope that Lemmy’s fragmentation keeps our community shielded from corpos (at least, for as long as possible).
