Hey redditor have you ever heard of this platform that starts with a “L” and ends with a “emmy”? Its like reddit but more freedom! There are more than 1 servers called “instances” and each can talk to each other unless the instance owner decided to ban another instance. Go to join-l3mmy(dot)org (replace the 3 with e) and just find a random instance to get started! If sign up page have circle spinning indefinitely, find another instance or change the username since either the instance is either overloaded, disabled sign up, or the username you’ve chosen was taken.
There! Feel free to copy this text!
This looks way too sketchy. If you saw this, would you actually do what they said? I know I wouldn’t. It reeks of viruses and adware. :p
You could tell them to go to lemmy.world instead since that instance is stable, has open registration and can handle a lot of users.
I mean you could also tell people to “google it”, but redditors are too lazy to do some googling.
Actually it’s not as easy as yout make it sound.
If you Google “Lemmy” you get images of the guy from motorhead. I’ve even done site searches with specific instances and a lot don’t show up at all. Beehaw, sh.it, and kbin.social were very difficult to find with Google.
Maybe it’s just me, but if someone told me to do some googling about a social media platform, and some dude’s name pops up in the search, I’d probably redo the search and add some context words like “Lemmy Platform” or “Lemmy Reddit Alternative”.
That’s what I did.
Yeah, I found this using Alternativeto.net
Lol, that is certainly true. But isn’t reddit still allowing people to say the word “Lemmy” on its own? I still see it a lot.
Just type out lemmy, it isn’t blocked if you sneak it in replies. I’ve been doing it for over a week and gotten replied to as well, so no shadowban here yet.
