Reddit never had to compete with a musician in search results.
I don’t think it has that big of an impact. But most open source developers forget that it might end up being used by more people than just them .
Mastodon. Lemmy, do a web search especially for Lemmy on reddit and you are more likely than not to end up on threads about the singer . and don’t get me started on the many unpronounceable names of open source projects.

some would prefer the limited growth.
i picked moist because who the fuck would want to market that
Are you a “Dead like me” fan? Its the code word you set up to let your family know your not dead yet.
nooope first ive heard of it! interesting
Its a world where the clean up of souls is differed to designated souls who for one reason or another can’t pass on. These souls are given a new body and are assigned to a cell to replace the one who reaped them. They are told a location, a time, and a name. And have to find the person about to die and pull the soul out before they are killed, else the soul brings the trama of death over with them. In the protagonists case she is put in the “freak accident death” group. Which reap people who are indirectly killed by demons mostly. It’s forbidden to reach out to your family for obvious reasons, but due to her mother HATING the word “moist” and considering it a sex slur, she leaves behind a message saying just that and the mother instantly catches on.
i will check it out, thanks!
I love that show. I just started rewatching it, after rewatching Coupling. Giving me all the nostalgia.
Greatest and best name ever.
Well, there is that one guy…
Charles Boyle?
Von Lipwig?
For some reason I thought of Critical. The YouTuber. Charlie? penguinz? Or whatever the fuck he calls himself these days. Then I remembered he doesn’t sing…
freakin canada
I confess that it is always odd to see a musician, now deceased for a decade, when searching for this platform. Mind you, that is an ongoing tribute to their legacy, which is how it came about.
In a 2020 post, Lemmy’s co-creator Dessalines wrote about the origin of the name Lemmy. “It was nameless for a long time, but I wanted to keep with the fediverse tradition of naming projects after animals. I was playing that old-school game Lemmings, and Lemmy (from Motorhead) had passed away that week, and we held a few polls for names, and I went with that.”

Pretty weak reasons for picking the name tbh
Why did you pick your username?
divine vision hbu
Rather arbitrarily for mine haha
It took me three hours to decide upon mine, this was back when i needed one for the xbox 360. I literally sat there on the set up screen, and thought. You should see me struggle with character gens.
Way back in 1997 or so, I was not sure what to use, so I just chose “Foxtrot” from the phonetic alphabet because it sounded a little neat, and it has my favorite animal in it. It was not such an issue because you could still get that name everywhere at the time of course. Since then, I have mainly used variations of that, but at some point branched out into some others such as the one I use here.
It’s always kind of funny to me though, when I go through some old backup and see one of my forum signatures with my original name on it.
For me i went with WraithGear because i personally feel that i am not here, or real, that i am just piloting my corpse around. It crossed with my thoughts on gaming due to making an xbox account and all, and i have a framed art cell of metal gear acid on my desk, and it all kinda clicked. Its gear as in metal ‘gear’ more so then a cog.
Because replacing First-past-the-post voting is the most ultragigagigantic idea possible.
Eternity doesn’t work? I’m literally typing from it now…
You can filter it in the apps.
Voyager definitely has filtering.
You can’t have looked hard as it’s a top level setting on voyager lol

Weird! Mines right there. Are you on android? I’m on IOS.
Weird that your phone doesn’t have that option.
The developer says you must be logged out
You put some respect on Lemmy Kilmisters name, sir.
Finally a man of culture
when I say ‘fediverse’ people think I’m saying ‘fetiverse’ and sometimes they ask if it’s like open source fetlife. 🫠
TBH the kink community has been needing a replacement for fetlife for a while
Oh my gosh, how nothing changed when all those people were getting murdered through the site? So scary!
The Fetaverse. Only Greek cheese.
just tell them “yes!”. they will figure it out :-)
Better than people assuming it’s a joke about it being full of feds, which I’ve seen before.
I do love some crumbly cheese, so I’ll allow it.
Whenever I see’fediverse’ I still think it has something to do with Roger Federer.
I’ve seen people ask why the Fetaverse has nothing to do with cheese
No
But Lemmy is God
Yeah but Lemmy is dead. Also a lost oppurtunity for the metal community to not just go by Kilmister. could flipped it to be Mr. Kill
I think the political culture is holding it back more than the name. People poke their heads in and see an environment that is far more left than they’re used to so they head back to Reddit. It can be a shock to see all the moe/loli and communist stuff when they aren’t used to it.
👍 best tip I got in my early days on Lemmy was to not hesitate with blocking instances
Good.
Not as much as Loops probably.
Searching for any information regarding Loops is great way to show off the importance of SEO
It’s a TikTok-like from the creator of Pixelfed (Instagram-like). It’s in beta right now. There are a few communities on Lemmy that are dedicated to sharing the content from it.
We could retcon it as named after the koopaling.
As much as I love Motorhead, it’s not a great name.
I have long contended there is no good band name. All are terrible.
Counterpoint: Ninja Sex Party.
Lemmy needs better marketing. The name is lame an non-descriptive of what it is. The UI, while awesome to the tech savvy is not modern enough to compete with alternatives. For Lemmy to succeed it has to become “cool” and it’s not there yet and seems to lack that sort of direction.
