The /r/piracy link to lemmy /c/piracy hit the reddit frontpage with 7K+ updoots!

Please, don't take this the wrong way, seriously:
I find that quickstart entirely useless. How to create communities is already pretty self explanatory, as there is a button for "Create Community". The same goes for Search.
I think an image/infographic with things like "how to link users?", "how to link communities?", is much more useful, as there are no quick ways to find that out, i.e., no buttons.
No worries, you make a good point.
For your question, this post https://lemmy.world/post/8505771 is probably better (from [email protected] )

I think you're probably right about that. I've always said the next big migration will be when they turn off old.reddit, but perhaps they'll be wise enough to blanket ban links to all the largest Lemmy instances by that point.
Lemmy really needs to buy ads on Google. I know....Google is just awful.
But doing a search for "reddit alternatives", the first result is reddit.
I'd be willing to chip in some money to get that going.

Was it taken down? I don't see it. Why was it being promoted in the first place and how was it not immediately banned? I thought reddit banned anything lemmy related.
You don't see the link I posted?

Thanks! I was very lucky to get it. Finding the domain (name) is the longest part of the process for me. I go through so many permutations before actually pulling the trigger on one.
What is it? Looks like badass something but the Voyager app doesn't scroll it.

these stats areee... not the best? fuck i hope we dont fizzle, this better just be the begininng
46K active users is nothing to sneeze at. Most old school forums were hella active with just 1K

to any new user, or new lurker, welcome!! the begining is kinda shit, but it was as well when you started on instagram/reddit/tiktok, you just dont remember it. i dont remember my upstart into the fediverse because it has been such a short part of my independent-net journey.
I remember my start and immediate end on Bluesky. Got banned for saying the white ones were better. I was discussing Eneloop batteries!

Is that link (lemmy.world) banned reddit wide?
Isn’t .world the most populous instance? Hmm…
This is interesting. I get the impression that some admin/mods truly don’t understand how the Fediverse operates. They ban one (or a few) instance name(s), but there are so many more that they might not even recognize as Lemmy links, which get past the radar.
At the same time, there are fears here that .world could become disproportionately powerful compared to other instances, due to its high user count.
So in a way, Reddit blocking traffic to .world while permitting links to other instances can benefit us all. Smaller instances gain users, which is an important step toward balancing things out and keeping any one instance from becoming too powerful. Thanks, Reddit!
(I recognize the irony of having a .world account. I wasn’t aware of its standing in Lemmy when I made it. I am also still learning the Fediverse myself and don’t know how to transfer my account to another instance yet.)

I have registration application enabled and I am getting 0 registrations.
You need to somehow get your url out. Usually if you're just "generalist" people don't see a big reason to register compared to something like lemm.ee. Also new servers have another issue is that one doesn't know if they'll be around long enough. We've lost so many small servers in lemmy when their admins discovered it was more trouble than it was worth.

That's how you link communities. As long as that community is [email protected]. See how the second time it wasn't a link? You need the !
On Voyager, one is a mailto link hehe.

Nvm. Completely missed the small "www.reddit.com" under the post. Didn't realise it was clickable. Thanks!

Out of the loop here......what is /r/whitepeopletweets? And is it as racist as it sounds? Kinda seems like the type of people you don't get excited for coming over here if they banned the community.

Makes sense as the app has no way to know if it's an email address or not

Why would you go on a date with someone if you didn't know their religious opinions (favourite init system)???

What were you saying about Slackware?
Who said Slackware?Oh please honey, you gonna scare them. Now kids, welcome to Lemmy! Take a minute to visit and make yourselves confortable. Tomorrow I'll show you my Nobara.

Welcome! Happy to have you!
