I have been on Lemmy for a couple of years and I am very happy about the influx.

I think Lemmy (and kbin) have a lot of potential and just need more attention from users, mods, developers and other organizations;

• There are a lot of private forums and comment sections for News/review/blog websites. Theoretically they could have comments on articles federated and made available on Lemmy/Mastodon.
• The markdown format seems somehow better than reddit and we are starting to see really high quality posts like this one
• hopefully some more integration with mastodon happens so that lemmy users could comment on someone’s mastodon post or something similar.

I’m not sure how to make a link to communities so that it works for everyone sorry. But yeah the ! Does indicate a community usually

r/piracy with a message to use lemmy:

!piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

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

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

ahhh thank you!
