Post memes here.

A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.

An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Dude most of us are already here 😀

[–] where_am_i@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

you've seen nothing. Tomorrow it's gonna be all over lemmy again "hello I'm a refugee, how is lemmy profitable without ads?", or "admins should make sure we have this thing X like on reddit"

[–] jakwithoutac@feddit.uk 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

“Interface is unusable, I’ll come back some other time” or “what’s the best app for lemmy?”

[–] bleistift2@feddit.de 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

To be fair, the interface is janky.

[–] jakwithoutac@feddit.uk 5 points 2 years ago

Yeah a bit but it’s getting better. Early days and all that.

[–] vox@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

yeah

Do you think most people act before the bad stuff happens? Or after?

[–] voidf1sh@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

FWIW I deleted my Reddit accounts on 6/8 and started checking out Lemmy this week after a couple weeks of sorely missing Reddit and trying to make other platforms fill the void.

[–] DAT@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

well, they panic while bad stuff happens…

but act? most people always only react, never act.

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's what I meant, most people aren't going to look for Lemmy until what they are used to actually stops working.

Actually, the discretisation will probably be like:

70% just download the official Reddit app and don’t mind

20% leave the site and don’t look for alternatives

10% look for alternatives

And half of them choose Lemmy

So we might get like 5% of Reddit’s entire 3rd party userbase across all of Lemmy. Which sounds tiny but is actually frighteningly large.

[–] Doug@midwest.social 2 points 2 years ago

I think your 70% is high.

People chose 3rd party apps. Whether that's because they've been there longer than Reddit having their own app (like I was), not liking Reddit's app, or something else they still opted to use it via something unofficial.

Reddit's app is garbage and invasive. I've got duck duck go's privacy thing and tried Reddit's app a few months back with it. It had more blocked requests than anything else on my phone. On top of that it was the worst experience I had with any app to access Reddit.

I don't know how much I think your 70% is high, but I bet it is. On top of that I think some percent that do use it via official app will jump off in the coming weeks.

All that said I could also see the other numbers adjusting too, so the amount of new users next week could still be in the 5% neighborhood.

[–] jakwithoutac@feddit.uk 10 points 2 years ago

Jokes on you, I’ve been here a while

[–] syl@programming.dev 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I would love if third party apps added a banner linking to Lemmy. That would be great.

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Well, some of them are literally switching to working with Lemmy, instead of reddit.

[–] zdrvr@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sync user here. I joined yesterday only because I saw the dev is working on a sync for Lemmy app.

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It's been amazing. The platform is coming alive before our eyes. It wasn't quite hitting critical mass when I joined, but now, if it hasn't already, it is about to. Sync, Boost, and others, will each bring anothe surge of activity as they launch, I'm sure.

[–] vox@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

that would be nice.... but also kbin support.

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

Artemis will work with Kbin first, it seems.

Sync for Lemmy has also said Kbin support would come, but later.

[–] Ratking@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

RIF has fallen.

Here from Boost, seems like there's a lemmy version on the horizon too

[–] Penguin@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

me too thanks

(memes aside, I'm looking forward to it)
