Man! This is the first I head about the lead dev of Mlem leaving. I hope the project doesn’t get abandoned.

I just hope we don’t end up calling them “sublemmys” and whatnot, like what I keep seeing suggested. Let’s just make a clean break with reddit and start something new and better.
There are a lot of subs on that site that have apparently migrated but there are zero posts here.
@ThaijsClan I changed about 4500 comments to an edited one pointing users to lemmy and kbin, along with instructions on how to choose an instance. Hopefully it’ll direct at least a couple people here.
Seconding Artemis
That’s why I nuked all my posts and edited every one of my comments to point to kbin / lemmy before deleting my account. They may revert my changes, but I at least wanted to try to prevent them from benefiting from me in any way.
I believe you just need to enter those strings into the magazine search and it should allow you to subscribe from here.
This isn’t happening though. I am subscribed to a few communities from lemmy.ml that definitely have posts, and there are other subscribers from kbin, but no posts show when viewing from kbin. It has been like that for a couple days. Check these out, for example:
Do you mean mlem? That’s the TestFlight app I have.
I mean physical mail, lol. You go out to your mailbox and have a handful of crap that you have to throw away.
Yes, at least in the US, we get a ton of ads via mail (post). It’s a huge pain. I use iOS and I don’t think there are any Instagram alternative apps.
My pihole helps quite a bit, but some still sneak in. I had to use a VPN to get a cheap rate for Youtube premium which helps a ton. Instagram ads and mail ads are unavoidable still.
I am so sick of ads being everywhere. It’s such a mental load.
That was what persuaded me to delete as well. I was supporting the mods in /r/gis and mentioned that they should strike longer, and some user called me “fucking stupid,” and mentioned some bs about how the subreddit is important because people find answers there via google.
So I edited every single one of my 11 years of comments to some text pointing people to Lemmy, and nuked my account. Haven’t missed it since.
I sincerely hope that toxicity doesn’t find its way here.
