Well, whew! As a result of Reddit's recent spark of genius, the number of users looking for a new home has been growing at quite a brisk pace. In the last 12 hours, over 30 new membership applications were received. This has never happened before in Sopuli's short history. It's a bit like what happened to Mastodon when Twitter had its own spark of genius. I'm surprised and also excited.
Anyway, welcome to new users! Feel free to check out Sopuli and Lemmy in general. If you have any questions, you should first check FAQ if the question has already been answered. A list of communities, both on Sopuli and on other instances, is conveniently displayed in Communities and here. If you are planning to create a new community for a topic, you should check there to see if one has already been created and if the topic is fitting for it.
No huh huh! Redditin viimeaikaisten neronleimauksien seurauksena uutta kotia etsiviä käyttäjiä on tullut varsin reippaalla tahdilla. Viimeisen 12 tunnin aikana tuli yli 30 uutta käyttäjähakemusta. Tällaista ei ole Sopulin lyhyen historian aikana tapahtunut aiemmin. Tämä on vähän sama asia kuin mitä vuorostaan Mastodonille kävi Twitterin neronleimausten takia. Olen yllättynyt ja myös innostunut.
Joka tapauksessa, tervetuloa uusille käyttäjille! Tutustukaa Sopuliin ja Lemmyyn ylipäänsä vapaasti. Jos on kysyttävää, kannattaa ensiksi katsoa UKK:sta, jos kysymykseen on jo vastattu. Listan yhteisöistä sekä Sopulissa että muilla instansseilla näkee kätevästi Yhteisöt-näkymän kautta ja täältä. Mikäli aikoo perustaa uuden yhteisön jollekin aiheelle, kannattaa katsoa, onko sellainen jo perustettu ja sopiiko aihe siihen.
AFAIK there are some plans/considerations, at least for some of the 3rd apps, to migrate to/support Lemmy. so maybe in the near future you can have Boost for Lemmy - at least one can dream...
although, I must say, Jerboa is a bit buggy in some parts and could use some mir features, but I think, it already has a very good and useable base
I feel your pain- I'm still holding out hope for a Boost for Lemmy, but not sure that's realistic any time soon. The r/boostforreddit sub was pushing for that but after the past few weeks I wouldnt blame the devs for taking a break.
First time on a Lemmy instance, and I though Sopuli looked inviting. I appreciate you taking me, and some of my fellow supporters of the Reddit blackout, in during these dark days. So far, enjoying my time here and learning about Lemmy and federated services! I hope I can learn to do more than lurk.
YesYes! I guess the finnish way suits me more than the beehive way. I have been on Lemmy for two days, following with much sleeplessness this playground -- it's like children unpacking the big christmas packet, with awe.
If there is anyone here who has a little bit of knowledge about github/coding/layout, to help with some changes to make the sign-up process go more smoothly, please go ahead! Here are some suggestions that were made in the temporary server overload thread yesterday: https://lemmy.ml/comment/457578 https://lemmy.ml/comment/82311 (a more explanatory subheader is already in the works, hope they see that it apparently needs to be done via the translation tool) https://lemmy.ml/comment/450975
So, let's hope this doesn't go downhill with the expected influx!
I just created Lemmy's first (as far as I can tell) Black metal community. If you want to join please head over to [email protected] and post something! Let's get the ball rolling on here as well!
@[email protected] laitathan viestii jos voi auttaa. Tiedän, ettet pyytänyt lahjoituksia mutta tää sun yhteisö kasvaa nopeasti. Kaikenlaisesta tuesta voidaan keskustella.
Signup approval waiting sucks, but we will approve them within 24h!
About Sopuli
Sopuli and other Lemmy servers like beehaw.org offer an alternative to link aggregation social media sites like Reddit (which is no doubt the reason for this influx of new users). All these servers communicate together, so it doesn't actually matter which of them you register at as long as the rules and admins suit you. You can post to beehaw communities from Sopuli and vice versa.
More detailed info will be compiled in the FAQ.
What is Lemmy?
Lemmy is the software that powers the websites.
Why Sopuli/Lemmy instead of the other Reddit alternatives?
With Lemmy, you can choose your administrator or choose to administrate yourself, and still be connected to the same overall network. An inherent benefit for this is that no one corporation, entity or person can own the network and you will not be under the whims of one corporate leadership.
Thank you for allowing me to participate in the greater community from this instance. I'd be interested to help pay for server costs since I know they're not free. The forum is dead, long live the forum!
Kiitos, että sallit minun osallistua suurempaan yhteisöön tästä instanssista. Olisin kiinnostunut auttamaan palvelinkustannuksissa, koska tiedän, että ne eivät ole ilmaisia. Foorumi on kuollut, eläköön foorumi!
Nice to see folks here. Just joined and have been slowly moving my social internet away from the corporate controlled interests. Mastodon has been a breath of fresh air and am optimistic that Lemmy will be too.
I recently set up matrix for myself, as well. It's especially nice once you bridge it whatsapp, telegram, discord, and whatever else you use. Finally the cluterfuck of modern instant
messaging, in one place.
Hiya! I don't like how the future of reddit looks, what with all the mods leaving because they can't mod properly without 3rd party apps. Hoping the fediverse turns out better. This seems like a nice friendly instance :)
We are in interesting times, im my opinion. They're interesting because we went from GAFA being suprememe, to the fediverse and threadiverse, to a multiheaded hydra (in the positive sense) where you join instances, that are "local" communities, that can encompass, or block other instances. We go from the monopolies of Meta, Twitter and Reddit, to the threadiverse and Fediverse. I think there is a difference between the two.
Social networks are communities, and communities are migratory. Twitter and reddit forget this little detail. They're encouraging their "competition" to thrive. They're sabotaging their own stickiness by over-charging for API use, especially since devoted redittors can already pay 49CHF per year. To pay even more for a third party app is punishing the very people that already "invested" real cash.
There should be a community specifically for c/doomscrolling. When ever you find scary or depressing news articles online, you can just dump those links into that place. Basically the polar opposite to what r/upliftingNews used to be.
Hello and thank you for new home! This seems to be a rather nice place without too many zero effort posts/ comments so far, and people are nice to each other. I really look forward to contribute to communities in here.
There is just one thing I wonder while getting to know this platform and were peeking the create communities page: why would someone want to make a community with setting "Only moderators can post to this community"? For announcements? FAQ did not have an answer.
Jos tänne päätyy muita uusia suomalaisia käyttäjiä pyörimään niin oletan, että osaavat sen verran englantia ymmärtääkseen kysymyksen :-D Ajattelin, että jos joku muukin pohtii samaa niin saapi kenties tiedon ja englanti tavoittaa useammat.
I am another reddit refugee, I can't see using it from my phone without redreader. Thanks for running an instance. I will have to see what communities there are on here that might fill what I used reddit for.
Hello world! Thought I'd say hello, and thanks for a great alternative to Reddit. Pleased to see the fedeverse show some promise. Feels like the old internet so far...
Thank you for this community! I am a long time redditor and quite sad that it all turned the way it did in Reddit. At the same time I am grateful that there is this community. I am looking forward spending my time here.
One question for the admin; I see an instance hasn't been federated with sopuli (it's not blocked either), what should be done to be able to subscribe to the unfederated instance communities? I just get community_not_found error when trying to access the community URL via sopuli.xyz. Search doesn't find it either.
Nimi tosin on varastettu. Poimin sen yhdestä 1990-luvun lopulla julkaistusta peliväkivaltaa käsitelleestä artikkelista, jossa noheva toimittaja kertoi Nukemin Herttua -pelin aiheuttamasta kohusta 💪🏾
Anyone else having issues with the sign up page? A friend of mine is trying to sign up to sopuli but after they enter their details and click ‘sign up’ it just spins endlessly. I’m assuming it’s because a lot of people are trying to sign up now?
Onko tietoa millaisessa formaatissa yhteisön bannerin ja kuvakkeen pitäisi olla? En onnistu lisäämään luomaani yhteisöön kumpaakaan, enkä löytänyt dokumentaatiostakaan äkkiseltään mitään . :/
Kai kuvakkeeseen ja banneriin riittää ihan mikä tahansa JPEG, PNG tai muu yleinen kuvaformaatti. Tuleeko kuvien lisäämisessä jotain virhettä tai muuta? :O
