Echoing a big thanks to everyone here. I’ve been on other platforms since the mid 2000s, and this is the first time in a very long time that I’ve felt that this is the start (obviously not downplaying the efforts of users of Lemmy before…things…happened elsewhere) of something special. That being said, this is not a “mission accomplished” moment - we all have to work together to keep this going. A lot of us are recently coming from a platform where the sheer mass of thousands of users online simultaneously was keeping a reasonable flow of content coming. Keep posting first and third party content, keep asking questions, keep fomenting discussion, and keep being nice and welcoming!
