Congratulations to the instance for it’s extraordinary growth!
Welcome everyone who popped over from reddit.
It’s important to remember you’re on the fediverse, a huge variety of websites running all sorts of software of which lemmy.world is just one server, and Lemmy itself is just one piece of software. There’s many other reddit-alikes like Lemmy, as well as software like Twitter, or Instagram, or Facebook, or YouTube.
Decentralization is strength. Try to spread out over instances with our users and our communities because instances can and do shut down, shut off federation, or otherwise become reddit.
This is supported by admins and users, there is no pot of venture capital money keeping instances running or paying admins. Keep that in mind.
