Happy 1st anniversary month dt. đ„đđ
Letâs spare a moment to appreciate those who stayed and made this thread great and remember those who have left and are dead to us now.
Feel free to post your own appropriate song.

Has it really been a year?? Good heavens. At some point I should probably work out how to use Lemmy beyond the DT.
Thanks all for being fab!
Baku@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
To be honest, since Lemmy World (the biggest instance) is booked, thereâs not very much we can see on Lemmy at the moment. A lot of Lemmy communities are hosted on LW, and with federation delays of a week, you canât really see any of the discussion until after itâs fizzled out. But browsing local and the large communities hosted on other instances is nice
TinyBreak@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Is someone like⊠working on that?
Baku@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
The Lemmy Devs said theyâll fix it in the next milestone release (0.20) I think. In the meantime, someone else on another instance wrote a tool that can be deployed to an instance closer to LW which sends the activities in bulk to the main instance, but I think weâre just going to wait until the patch gets pushed
TinyBreak@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Sad, I miss some old faces but the community that was I think is dead and fractured. And out of the ashes this one grew. And thatâs fine, honestly! Iâm just concerned as to how we grow this one so it doesnât become an echo chamber.

That is a work of pure art! Love the coconut sprinkles!

Not mine.
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Take the credit anyway!

Nellie? No wonder your kind are endangered. You look delicious đ

I do miss Reddit, especially the community during lockdown. But apparently everyone with a big site wants to be Elon Musk now so yeah :(
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I still browse reddit.
The other dt still talk about us like weâre the poorer cousins who lost their way and hope to make it back some day because apparently itâs slow over here. đ
melbaboutown@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Oh, ok. I donât have any kind of beef with anyone who stayed. I wasnât aware there was any competition or tension.
I just saw the owner openly say that he wanted to emulate Musk then engage in strongarm tactics, and went âyikesâ over where that behaviour might lead. What the site might turn into. Also the whole selling user data to AI thing is not something I agree with. Would potentially consider frequenting both places casually if the owner stopped being a raging jackarse or sold the site. If it was like it used to be.
The mix of people in the DT seems to have changed though. I donât recognise many usernames anymore so if I did ever return that would be another adjustment.

Baku@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I check in once in a while and the only people I generally recognise are MajorBear and HurstbridgeLineFTW. I feel like a remember Bear being over here during rexxit for a while, but HLFTW was anti Lemmy I think

Given we routinely outcomment them, that seems a pretty weird opinion.
just_kitten@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Eh, they definitely have a wider range of commenters and much more activity in the main sub. Thereâs no doubt that Reddit still has a lot more momentum and itâs mostly the same people here in the DT. I donât mind that of course, but I donât think their opinion is that weirdâŠ
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
What I feel about Reddit Not sorry to have come here - much more fun and a lot less toxic.

Iâm going to celebrate with a nude homemade coffee! âïž
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone âš5â© âšmonthsâ© ago
When I go on Reddit these days, I feel myself getting aggrevated really easily.
I wonder if itâs always been like that and I hadnât noticed.
Hereâs to a great space đž
