I just signed up the other day once I discovered the dev for Sync was starting development on a Lemmy app.

I wanted to ask regular Lemmy users... What is your opinion on the influx of people from Reddit? Do you fear it will change the social atmosphere here, or do you welcome new users to the community?

I've seen plenty of posts venting about Reddit already, and I imagine that'll probably get tiring really fast for long lasting Lemmy users (Lemmyers?)

First, it is not just lemmy, it is the fediverse (replying to you from kbin.social - my preferred cup of tea). Second, I see that the mostly good people/posters are leaving Reddit, I do not see, for example, personal attacks when people disagree here in fediverse, I see no removed/moderated comments or posts. I am sure it happens here too, it is just so rare… it reminds me of the days of mass migration from digg. So, at least for now I think this is great, and it separates people who are ready to stand for principles from the rest. Welcome.

I agree, the vibe has generally been more upbeat and optimistic, with the occasional venting. Thank you for the welcome! I'm still figuring out how the fediverse works, but it makes sense more or less. Hopefully more people can see the benefit of truly being in control of your content you put out, as well as the content that you see.

Can I count on 100K "Barbie" ticket sales from everyone here on Lemonworld then? (Only in theaters July 21st)

Maybe not from Lemmy.World but definitely with all the other Lemmy sites in the Fediverse.

Wife and I considering it and we are not movie going people.

FYI: Fediverse = One account let's you comment/vote on other Lemmy sites

I’ve only been using Lenny for a day and a half, but I’ve been having a great time. The memes are 10/10 and everything else is coming together nicely. This is already my Reddit replacement, genuinely.
