Lemmy

Trying to do it more now

Number of (active) Lemmy users seems to stabilize and I think this is a great thing. Indeed we got a lot of users when reddit shutdown its API (I was among them despite being a long time oss user), many have left, but the community seems now to stabilize to ~ ½ of the big grow in june '23. I think this is very nice for lemmy,...

Everyone knows what they want to improve in their software. However, I am opening this post to raise awareness on this issue. It’s just a humble request....

Ive always wondered. - Should I be adding relevant hashtags to Lemmy posts related to the subject of the post to make the content more findable on other Activitypub services?
