Just checking the vibe. I see that this community doesn’t have much activity, but maybe people are interested in migrating here amidst the reddit controversy.
This is my ~/
I can’t even remember if I subscribed to r/archlinux over there, I’ve eradicated my account now so it doesn’t really matter. The important bits are (1) I’m an Arch user, amd64 and arm7hf mainly. (2) I’m subbed to this community. May it live long and prosper!
I migrated fully from reddit. Deleted my comments and account. This will be my replacement for r/archlinux
Absolutely!
Let’s see… I like the ideals of Lemmy, just hope we can get enough memes…
It’s just that .ml is down currently. So a bit hard to tell how this keeps working. Buuut nice to see you.
The lemmy.ml situation is unfortunate. This is the time where people will be interested to check alternatives out and the only community named after arch linux is down. I don’t know if we should give it a couple of days or just start another community elsewhere.
Do you know why it’s down?
There was a comment by one of the devs, which I’ve lost now, saying they misconfigured ipv6 and this caused 502 errors. It seems to be up now. We will see how things go from here.
I’ve been feeling a bit done with reddit for a while now. This is the first time I see such a viable alternative! I really think if things like this pick up traction the internet will get better for once.
I have just subscribed to as many Lemmy equivalents to my subreddits as I could find. I plan to make Lemmy a permanent part of my browsing. Already contemplating on whether I should delete my Reddit account but I am still waiting out the situation to see what happens. What /u/spez has said doesn’t give me much hope though. I do hope Lemmy takes off. The limited browsing I’ve done on Lemmy has already convinced me that its a better experience than Reddit from a UI / UX perspective.
yep! the only thing i used reddit for (other than funny pictures, which we could all realistically do without) was tech support and discussing linux-related topics. And it seems, at least for now, the userbase swings pretty heavily towards tech savvy people so I’m sure this place will be great :)
This is likely my new home for all random things archlinux. Thank you for establishing it.
Definitely, ditched my Reddit account. I was already unhappy with Reddit for some time, so while others are mad about the API changes, for me it’s the best that could happen because it made me discover Lemmy.
Im sticking with the fediverse.
I’m down for seeing where this trip takes us. If nothing else it’s an opportunity to meet new folks.
I’ll give Lemmy a try, now and currently this seems to be the “to go” community for Arch Linux. So I’ll be around here for a while.
It’s going to take a little time and maturing of the software but I think the fediverse had a bright future.
