I think we'll see another spike when the third-party apps are actually shut down.
Be prepared to answer so many questions from newcomers.
A general how-to for lemmy pinned to the top would do wonders.
Today’s noobs are tomorrow’s participants and next months’ experts. Take it as a chance to be awesome to one another.
Speaking as a noob trying to see if I can respond from another server... Hi!
I spun up an instance for a friend group, to test it out, and while I think no one has a real clue what's going on, it's nice to have something new and positive. And since I or a friend control the server, no worries on the perverse incentives of the internet giants.
So, yeah, hopefully we can learn, and hopefully the ecosystem can grow.
I've been here six whole days, so I'm, like, some super veteran 🤣🤣
I actually like the less jaded attitude in most of the communities, though many are still very, very small (like single digits). I was part of Post.news when the Twitter exodus happened and had a fun time with it for a month; once it got populated the bigger voices/micro-blog celebrities pretty much drowned out the average user like me and I wandered away because there just wasn't enough interaction on the average thread. Pretty much he twitter experience - too ephemeral to be a community. This (Lemmy/kbin) feels nice, though.
Is Boost shutting down?
Definetly, I remember mayayo (Boost's dev) commenting that the update he pushed out recently was the last dance or something.
Can't imagine how Boost would survive when many more successful third-party apps are going under.
I think I have seen Boost in the list of 3rd party apps that are shutting down at the end of the month
I already deleted my 3P app and was looking for an alternative. I wanted to be the one that ripped that band-aid off so it could scab up early. So far I'm liking these Lemmy servers. They are my polysporin :p
That's why I'm here, the third party app I use is about to be shut down.

It might turn into the Lemmy version of Eternal September.
