Hoping to please people, we decided to create this review on a weekly basis where we will collect all the topics created about our community Lemmy (what is Lemmy?). As we have already explained, we are trying to diversify as much as possible the community that has been created around Le Alternative, trying above all to bring as many people as possible to alternative social networks such as Mastodon, PeerTube, Pixelfed and, indeed, Lemmy. Let's start with Lemmy from April 18th to 24th.
Our Telegram channel The Alternatives | Fresh has been transformed precisely in this sense: news, updates and current affairs will always be shared, but these will arrive automatically via the Lemmy community. This means that anyone with a post can also reach the community on Telegram to invite as many people as possible to the discussions.
This brief introduction is to tell you that we have precisely thought of create a weekly report of what happened and posted on Lemmy. We hope this will translate into greater activity on community on Lemmy, we are waiting for you!
