I see Lemmy coming up organically on Reddit all the time now. At first it felt somewhat stunted but the message is definitely spreading.
That observation makes me very pleased!
The biggest complaint I see repeated is that it’s dead. By using that logic, they’re creating the reason they won’t adopt. But I like the size of Lemmy at the moment. When I’m bored, I just go do other things.

Lemmy is just big enough to keep me entertained, but I wouldn’t mind if the userbase were to double in size. Many of my niche interests are still missing or inactive.
Switching to an open federated protocol is basically the worst idea for preventing AI from training on your content, but if it makes people feel better then sure I guess.
This is my thought process as well. I love it here on Lemmy but it’s probably a million times easier for an AI company to pull data from the Lemmy API where they don’t have to deal with Reddit who claims to own the data hosted there.
Really anything you post publicly is going to be public.
Thanks for sharing

OK, who’s the clown who recommended “Masterdon” as Lemmy UI?
I don’t understand coding terminology or structures, but does the person ‘in charge’ of Lemmy have some questionable civil rights belief?
Nobody’s “in charge” of Lemmy
- Lemmy devs get criticized regularly !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works
- Power tripping admins and mods get criticized on !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com
- everyone keeps each other in check. As every instance admin manage their own instance, nobody can unilaterally silence someone else
Lemmy dependa of the exploitation of free labor to function. That’s the only difference.
