In the monthly server updates for lemmy.zip/piefed.zip there’s a mantra that’s repeated every month. I think it’s wonderful and can be applied to the Fediverse as a whole.
If you’re new here - WELCOME! I hope you’re enjoying your time here :)
Just one small teeny-tiny request. The greatest gift you can give
the Fediverse(Original: Lemmy.zip and Piefed.zip) isn’t money, praise, or interpretive dance (although we would absolutely accept the last one). Its participation.Upvote the things you like. Start a discussion, debate, or ponder about whether water is wet or merely makes things wet. Make new communities if you don’t see one that fits your oddly specific niche obsession.
(We don’t judge. Well, we try not to judge anyway.)The fediverse naturally ebbs and flows, tides of people come and go. But if you’ve found yourself oddly attached to this strange little corner of the internet? Wonderful. Help it breathe. Help it grow. Help it be just a tiny bit weirder in the best possible way.
So if you’ve gone to the effort of clicking Sign Up and proving you’re not a robot (unless you are, in which case hello and welcome to our new AI overlords), then please, I beg of you:
Stick around. Add your voice. It really does make this place better.
There’s like 5 people that are firehoses of content that are keeping lemmy alive.
Beehaw thinks I should post less though.
Never stop Sunshine
keep going
Beehaw still exists? Didn’t they want to leave Lemmy, like 2 years ago?
They have an instance that doesnt federate with Lemmy.world i think. It works well for them. On my instance I see them sometimes since we federate with everyone.
How come?
They instanced banned me for 3 days for posting frequently outside their jurisdiction.
Don’t take it too personaly. In the absence of complex filtering tools instance and community admin have to improvise to keep with their wished éditorial ligne.
Kind of weird but suit themselves I guess
I make it a point to post a few articles every day.
Not a firehose, but I’m doing my part.
Well, 4 after FlyingSquid left.
What I’ve learned is that when you emigrate to the UK, you stop posting on lemmy!
He needs to get his Lemmy Loicence. I should have given him mine.
Didn’t even know that. Thank fuck he left
That would explain all the shitposts and memes. 😛
I genuinely worry about Picard Maneuver and Lady Butterfly. What of one of them got hit by a car!?
Picard Maneuver went and came back. I appreciate their work though, they’re one of the pillars.
I worry about Stamets.
I would say it’s more 500 than 5
I’m not a big fan of those absolute firehoses though. It would be impossible to read as much as they post, and therefore they can’t have much invested or interest in the subjects which is bad for discussion and reminds me of the reasons for disliking AI slop.
What if they’re bots and we’ve all been fooled?
Nah ! They are at least 8.
I’m the dribble of drool from a baby’s mouth every so often.
Probably bots.
