I’m in the process of setting up my own instance for fun, as today was a slow work day.

Yeah, I saw that too, but other places I signed up still haven’t approved me, so I signed up here.

Time will tell. Given Reddit’s behavior recently, alternatives like lemmy are bound to see a spike in users. Just keep in mind that more users doesn’t necessarily mean good content.
Yup. That played a big role for me, too. The other factor was lemmy.ml was the first to approve my signup, finally giving me the ability to post. I’m still looking around to get a feel for other instances, and might even set up my own.
I’d wager a large percentage are bots, too!

I’m not ditching Reddit, just here trying out alternatives.
How has your lemmy experience been so far?
Well… I’m scrolling and F5’ing as if I was on Reddit, so honestly doesn’t feel that different, yet.
Oh, that’s a great idea! I have a raspberry pi I could run an instance on, too. Now I need to figure it whether running an instance is worthwhile or not.
What kind of resource usage are you seeing on your instance? I have a droplet running and was wondering about setting up my own instance.
Might be overloaded since a lot of people are trying out Lemmy.
Will do!
