1 year agoFinally. The other day while I was on a call with my girlfriend, she received an emergency alert on her phone (in the US) and wasn’t able to read it / find the message for some reason. Fearing the worst, I rushed to the city’s emergency Twitter account to see any updates, only for twitter to ask me to f-ing log in.
What a terrible feeling to have while going to the password manager, hands trembling with fear trying to sign in to the bloody & now-bastardized platform. Thankfully, it was just something related to bad weather.
That’s genuinely very cool. I wonder how many of them are duplicates (same link across different communities on different servers). Regardless, I’m pretty happy that it appears that Lemmy is quite active. It really does feel like reddit when you see posts with hundreds or even thousands of upvotes.
Huge thanks to the lemmy devs and instance admins.
