I only joined the main Lemmy instance a couple of days ago, but browing by new, there’s a pretty consistent stream of new posts now, even compared to the first day I was on here. I’m excited for this community.

    I have been here for a few weeks. The state of the communities then and now is like black and white. Huge growth. That is excellent news.

    The thing is it is a complicated setup. I can’t, for some reason, find some communities in search from others. And I consider myself tech savvy. That is a barrier for new users to overcome and it might be too much.

    I’m excited too, but we should all be chipping in with a little donation to help keep the lights on.

    Posting content and comments are good, but a bit of cash to help our new community succeed is critical.

    I shall be donating regularly, myself.

    Yep.

    Saw a post on the main instance saying it’s overloaded.

    Good news!

    The only thing I feel lemmy needs it’s better federation between the same communities. Like I wish I could subscribed to all communities publicly available for example /r/gaming

      Same experience here. I created this account a while back and would check in every so often. But it looks like it’s happening for real now!
