Wow, we have doubled in size in around a week! Next week should be interesting!
As a Canadian, I really appreciate this Lemmy instance. This might sound silly, but I feel a little bit of patriotism logging into a .ca website hosted in Canada.
Glad to have you here, bud.
French and English bilingual here, not Canadian though, so thought it’d be a good place to start my Lemmy adventure.
Canadians are a welcoming bunch. As long as tou enjoy maple syrup and Hockey (I kid).
Welcome aboard, Friend!!
3 days later we’ve crossed 2k. Exciting stuff.
I think this is great. I’m following the spez shitshow whilst my reddit comments delete in the background. I’m going all in on lemmy.ca.
I hope to see more users and engagement in a few weeks. :)
Happy to be part of it! Just joined today.
I’ve been spreading the word on Reddit, and I’ve started the board games and TabletopRPGs communities, I’m excited to see this take off! :)
How are the hamsters in the wheel holding up @smorks@lemmy.ca ?
Any idea how the other Lemmies are faring? I’d guess ml must be expanding significantly faster….

At the end of this page you can find instances that have opted in to statistics reporting and this information is updated daily.
Wouldn’t have found this without the whole Reddit fiasco and it’s a great thing I did. I would still be mindlessly scrolling through posts that are uninteresting with ads everywhere (I didn’t know Apollo existed). Hopefully this is a start to something exciting here!
I fewl that I’ve read more articles from comments today on Lemmy than the rest of this year on Reddit.
Something about Lemmy seeems, I don’t know, a little less dumpster-fire rage-bait hate-fuel.
There was a moment earlier today where I received a reply notification from Reddit and was almost tempted. But, no, I’m here now.
Would you have a ratio of donations per user to keep this instance up and running?
More than happy to help keep this going.
if 5 users contributed $5/month, that would cover the hosting fees. does that help?
Boy oh boy, that old '486 this instance is running on is gonna get a workout!!
it’s actually a 386 DX. haven’t gotten around to upgrading it yet.
What kind of bandwidth and storage requirements might one expect with these user counts? I’m considering self-hosting an instance for migrating a couple of mostly text-based subs I work with (30-40K users).
that’s tough to say. i mean if it’s mostly text-based there shouldn’t be a lot of bandwidth or storage requirements.
