Comment by vga@sopuli.xyz on John Oliver promoted alternatives to big tech in last night's episode, including Mastodon and Pixelfed

It’s brief, around 25:15

If you’ve been sitting on making a post about your favorite instance, this could be a good opportunity to do so.

Going by our registration applications, a lot of people are learning about the fediverse for the first time and they’re excited about the idea. I’ve really enjoyed reading through them :)

Not Lemmy though. Based.

Yeah I think it’s best we don’t advertise this place. It’s a little strange.

Come to Lemmy, we got: blood thirsty Linux users, furries, femboys, communists, and tankies. Also, porn.

The porn is sadly lacking, actuallly.

Be the change you want to see

Ain’t nobody wanna see that.

Being humble is sexy!

Honestly I might get more active in posting, cause some of the content I wanna see is not active/has one person posting on the community. I rarely post on any social media, but the fediverse just sparks something in me to make it a more active place.

How much do you need!!!

What exactly does a DragonTypeWyvern tail look like? Is it long with scales?

Depends on the kind of wyvern

Don’t forget the Trekkies.

I see a lot more Trek memes here than on reddit and I love every one

There we go. I was waiting to be represented.

A flying squid, too.

Don’t forget Margot Robbie

The Picard Maneuver “Am I joke to you?”

Wait how is Squid this popular? 😂

I’d say it is more notoriety than popularity.

Its not, this incident will be reported to the nearest democracy officer.

He has the most posts and comments on the Lemmy activity scoreboard.

Mother of God, I did not realize that he’s pushing 70k comments.

Btw are you just joking or isn’t there actually a tool that checks Lemmy profiles and gives a neat little scorecard with some stats? I remember reading a thread where someone linked it but that was a while ago.

Thanks (⁠･⁠–⁠･⁠)⁠ ⁠\⁠(⁠･⁠◡⁠･⁠)⁠/

Also, porn.

Where is this abhorrent content? I need to know so i can avoid it…

Is sh.itjust.works not federated with lemmynsfw.com? Or maybe you use a Front page or Local feed. Here on world (no comment on the instance wars), lemmynsfw communities pretty regularly show up on my All feed. Seems like whatever they do with posts over there really makes the “Active” sorter happy, if you know what I mean

It definitely was federated back when I made my acct here, as I had to block it lmao.

That’s what I was wondering. For a while I swear naked images of Rinkunn were more prevalent than The Picard Maneuver. I’m an All user mostly out of curiosity but disappointed that I think world defederated from one of the major furry ones cause that dropped considerably.

Wait, is disappointed the right word? I guess it is, although maybe i just miss their positivity. I’m still cool with hexbear being defederated, after all. Lol

Often most of those at the same time.

Well, reddit has nothing at this point, so it’s better than the competition.

It has its own charm once you get used to it lmao

The charm is why I keep coming back. Especially when it comes to the Lemmy Charm comments for lemmynsfw.com.

On Reddit I looked at so many posts on one day, on Lemmy I read like 2 posts but go in the comments much more often. Actually I look at more comments than posts, which I find better!

And knives.

And beans.

Don’t forget the No Poop Challenge

*porn involving some or all of the above

I could see people promoting Piefed and Mbin instead.

It’s no different than reddit, DIGG, or the Something Awful forums before they got popular.

Which is why it’s based that it wasn’t promoted

As long as no one sells off Lemmy, which is impossible now…

We need to get more people in here if we want it to actually be a Reddit competitor. Right now it’s good for some communities, but smaller ones are still extremely underpopulated.

I’ve seen the moist cat mbin instance being promoted a few times in RedditAlternative before I move here, actually. it’s one of my considerations jumping instances actually.

It’s good to have some friends, but don’t let too many normies in…

We reached a point a while ago where yall saying shit like this became the “normies”

a while ago where yall saying shit like this became the “normies”

Ohh it’s normal for us. But there are still a lot of sports all-consuming, rabble rousing, linux hating, clue collar people still on Reddit, any I don’t mind them staying over there.

Nieche communities are very quiet here though.

They are, probably even too quiet. But the level of griefers, bots and trolls is very very low, and selfishly, I REALLY like that.

A community to talk about the Fediverse and all it’s related services using ActivityPub (Mastodon, Lemmy, KBin, etc).
