    That’s kinda strange, not gonna lie. I was expecting a lot more subs in the meme communities etc.

    I do find it interesting that when lemmy instances are mentioned, lemmy.dbzer0.com is mentioned as an afterthought, if at all :D

      I reckon it’s probably a good thing we are flying under the radar in the media tbh. Media attention might draw other forms of unwanted attention. It’ll be interesting to see how things shake out over the next year or so though. Those meme communities have a lot of growth potential given their demographic.

    Ohhh that’s a reason for the mainstream news agencies to make up sensational headlines and demonize the fediverse

    I guess Lemmy users probably also have high sympathies for digital piracy, opposing copyright is very wide spread within the open source community but there are a lot of factors at play here and I’m glad that’s the case because I only started to really use it on Lemmy! :)
