I’m not sure how to make a link to communities so that it works for everyone sorry

r/piracy with a message to use lemmy:

The rust subreddit is apparently considering moving to Lemmy:

r/programming is private even though I think a lot of the mods were reddit employees, I think even u/spez. what is going on lol

I am on both and kbin seems less active.

Perhaps the numbers are counted different?

lemmy might be counting people who have posted this month and kbin might be counting anyone who has visited the site.

Big respect to all the devs for handling this growth so well.

There was talk of someone populating a Lemmy instance with reddit data.

There is a lot of reddit data on a torrent somewhere aparrently.

thanks for the link, I have fixed it now

Yeah they have actually been working on migrating back to a using a more current Lemmy version for a while now (around a year). But this post is making it look like it is actually close to happening.

You might also want to check out the jerboa app on Google play (it is an app for browsing Lemmy that was made by one of the main Lemmy Devs)
