Happy 1st anniversary month dt. 🥂🎉🎂
Let’s 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!

To be honest, since Lemmy World (the biggest instance) is booked, there’s 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 can’t really see any of the discussion until after it’s fizzled out. But browsing local and the large communities hosted on other instances is nice

Is someone like… working on that?
Baku@aussie.zone 1 year ago
The Lemmy Devs said they’ll 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 we’re just going to wait until the patch gets pushed

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 that’s fine, honestly! I’m just concerned as to how we grow this one so it doesn’t become an echo chamber.

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

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 1 year ago
I still browse reddit.
The other dt still talk about us like we’re the poorer cousins who lost their way and hope to make it back some day because apparently it’s slow over here. 😂
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Oh, ok. I don’t have any kind of beef with anyone who stayed. I wasn’t 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 ‘yikes’ 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 don’t recognise many usernames anymore so if I did ever return that would be another adjustment.
Baku@aussie.zone 1 year 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 1 year ago
Eh, they definitely have a wider range of commenters and much more activity in the main sub. There’s no doubt that Reddit still has a lot more momentum and it’s mostly the same people here in the DT. I don’t mind that of course, but I don’t think their opinion is that weird…

What I feel about Reddit Not sorry to have come here - much more fun and a lot less toxic.

I’m going to celebrate with a nude homemade coffee! ☕️
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 year ago
When I go on Reddit these days, I feel myself getting aggrevated really easily.
I wonder if it’s always been like that and I hadn’t noticed.
Here’s to a great space 🍸
