If the reddit exodus happens and Lemmy gets even 2% of reddit’s daily active users, how will Lemmy sustain the increased traffic? I know donations are an option, but I don’t think long term donations will be sustainable. Most users will never donate....

This site is currently struggling to handle the amount of new users. I have already upgraded the server, but it will go down regardless if half of Reddit tries to join....
With forewarning about a huge influx of users, you know Lemmy.ml will go down. Even if people go to join-lemmy.org/instances and disperse among the great instances there, the servers will go down....
It’s easy to discover communities on my instance via the dedicated page in the hamburger menu. But let’s say I want to follow a community on another instance, such as !lemmy . I might have found its name mentioned in a post or comment. When I click on the provided link, I’m thrown on that instances web page, from which I...
Switching from a consumer to a creator: I realized that if I want more people to engage w/ content, I have to be the change I want to see. I interact w/ content more regularly as a result...

Just joined, and well, I’m thinking ill stay. Ive been looking for a good reddit alternative for a while now. devs, you’ve done quite some good work here.
I think there’s a bug somewhere :)...
Crossposts are a great way to follow posts from one community to the next, and discover more user contributions. I would love to see that on Lemmy.
We are happy to see that many of you are exploring Lemmy after Reddit announced changes to its API policy. I maintain this project alongside @dessalines....
When reading posts sorted by date, I often have the timeline import a whole bunch of old posts from one community at the top. This is annoying since I basically have to reload the page, otherwise all relevant content is gone....
Would Lemmy be a good fit for adding individual “blogging” as a feature? What I mean is the ability for a user to create posts tied to their account instead of a specific community. The default Lemmy Frontend/webapp has all the basic features that would normally make up a blog: ability to make posts, markdown editor, hell...
Apologies for all the translators that weren’t able to sign up before (it was email issues), this should be fixed now.
I just realized that lemmy doesn’t have karma like reddit. I’ve never paid much attention to karma. But even so it does seem to play an important role in moderation on reddit....
What are the recommended specs, dimensions,etc for the icon and banner we create for a new instance?
I can’t found it how can I post embedded videos or posts from social media sites, like on Reddit or other similar sites.
I have finished writing instructions for deploying lemmyBB on a production server, which you can follow at the link above. Right now the project is still in a very early stage, nevertheless main funcionality is already working. This includes browsing communities, posts and comments, writing posts/comments and registration/login....
Lemmy is structured in a way that backend (database, api, federation etc) and frontend (html, css, javascript) are completely separate. This makes it possible to create other frontends which can take the place of lemmy-ui. I have long been playing with the thought of having a Lemmy frontend that looks more like a traditional...
Lemmy.ml has long had some political conflict among the userbase, especially in communities like worldnews. This is because the instance is composed of both leftists (anarchist/communist) and liberals (those who agree with the mainstream political views in western countries). Additionally, the instance admins all belong to the...
