A Request to the Fediverse Community

[nougat@fedia.io]

And that was after I'd been on kbin.social for six months.

[plumbercraic@lemmy.sdf.org]

I think 90% of my posts are deleted before sending because I just know that someone somewhere will find a way to be mad about it

But OK - here is a post that I would usually have deleted

[rosahaj@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

Thank you :), and I'll just let you know, that this comment brought a smile to my face. I'm proud of you.

[oofnik@kbin.earth]

I got you rosahaj! I'll try to be better this year!

[fxomt@lemm.ee]

One of us! One of us! ONE OF US!

[oleorun@real.lemmy.fan]

Small instance owner here. All are welcome. We have one really busy community here, and a few others that are just getting going that you might find interesting. You like World of Warships? The Last of Us? St. Louis Battlehawks? Abandoned Buildings?

You'll notice some of these communities are a ghost town. Images are broken and there's a rat eating pizza. So step up. Avoid the large, overwhelmed, weirld-political instances and give us little guys a chance.

I'll begin by introducing myself. Hi! I am oleorun, named after the recently deceased Bob Uecker's Baseball Hall of Fame speech. My instance, https://real.lemmy.fan/, is known for the [email protected] community, but we have more to offer. [email protected] , a college radio station, [email protected] , and more communities waiting to be joined, and built, and best of all there's no ads, no donation requests, just pure love of a federated instance that thrives on niceness.

I'd be real happy for you to join us.

Lurk No More

glad to hear it Oofnik!

[oleorun@real.lemmy.fan]

The hero we need

[theghosthybrid@lemmy.sdf.org]

Y’know what, here I am! This is such a genuine request.

Thank you, friend! This post may very well be the tipping point for many Lemmings/Fediversers, myself included.

[pugjesus@lemmy.world]

They're squeezing water from a stone here DX

[oleorun@real.lemmy.fan]

OMG really? How COULD you...

Neglect to offer your valuable opinion. Hey, you're a human and have valuable things to say. Haters gon hate. Fuck 'em.

[rosahaj@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

And I'm so glad to see you here! I sure hope you're right, but the fact that I'm responding to you alone shows just how right you are!

[rosahaj@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

Just wanted to pop in and say, I am so glad so many of you are taking this to heart! I am sitting here with a genuine smile on my face, which for reference NEVER happens. Thank you everyone!

[rosahaj@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

One. Of. US!!

[rosahaj@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

say, I hear you do something similar, Pug Jesus.

[cake@lemmy.zip]

I am trying to. I just found about lemmy today.

Can someone recommend me some other stuff?

[vubdapple@lemmy.world]

I've also been posting less after managing to upset someone. We can have a club. The shy posters club.

[rosahaj@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

I cannot express how much respect I hold for instance owners, you're doing something great! Maybe one day I'll follow in your footsteps (when I step up from small game servers :P). Say, would those dead communities qualify for a post in c/abandonedarchitecture?

[someonesomewhere@lemmy.nz]

As Someone Somewhere, I urge you to post more.
