Thanks for the heads up, i guess I just a bit too old to have been part of the discord group.
In the country where I live, it’s all Facebook messenger. It’s a shame as o think a number of people don’t really care for it, but everyone and every business uses it so we are kind stuck.
I see a lot of things that have a discord community.
Why is this? Is it a way for someone. To earn extra money? Or do they just like that platform?
When I was new to linux and got a raspberry pi 1. I was following some random guide to put retroarch on the pi. I did not know what I was doing, but it took at least 24 hours if not more.
Years later I realized that the guide had me compiling it from source instead of just installing a precompiled package.
That’s OK. Lemmy doesn’t need to be huge and we have had a lot of apps developed for it and there have been a lot of donations to help the platform grow. I think it is large enough now to survive and will slowly grow over time.
Just wait for the next big Reddit mistake. People will come over to Lemmy again and it will be a better place than last time.
I don’t care for the real-time communication aspect of it. In fact i find it unusable.
Am I supposed to just sit there and read random conversation and wait for a point to jump in?
Seems like it takes too much effort.
