A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It'll take a miracle for Lemmy to get anywhere near Reddit's active user count. Convincing users to migrate to a new platform is one thing, but getting them used to the concept of federation is the tricky part. I remember when I first signed up for Matrix, and being confused when picking the domain, authentication rules, etc. for the first time.
As anything it'd start with the techies, the platform becomes stable and tools are developed to make onboarding easier. My intention is to replace any communities that I can replace with Lemmy. We'll see from there. The !selfhosted@lemmy.world community is already taking off (naturally), now I am kinda hoping !Eredivisie@feddit.nl and an OSRS (2007scape) community takes off.
