I usually don’t get too salty about these things, but that seemed uncalled for, especially since I’m on their side.

    That would be a little like the staff on the sinking Titanic reminding passengers not to mention other cruise lines :p

      Self-promotion rules are really weird for open-source projects too. Its like we’re telling people about a pizza recipe that we created and are sharing freely… we’re not selling anything or trying to profit off people.

        It is still self promotion. Lemmy is stagnated for years without user content. Sure there is a window for Lemmy now with reddit changes and you are probably not the only one promoting Lemmy. But you guys promote it where nobody need it lol.

          People definitely need Lemmy now more than ever. Reddit is going public. It’s only matter of time before they ban porn outright and stifle more communities and discussion. I’m very much looking forward to more Lemmy instances and communities.
