Great to see all this growth and activity in different lemmy instances!
More users does not ALWAYS mean a good thing.
You are correct, but it at least shows that we are attracting more users (albeit, that doesn't mean quality).
I believe its a positive thing though, as it shows that the "normies" are seriously considering alternatives; outside of us niche, nerds here for the tech and the anti-corpo mindset.
Just showed up here. We'll see how long I stay, but hoping this will be my social media fix each morning. If there are enough folks who feel the same, it will be.
I've been using it for about a week now, and it already is.
Of course, there's a handful of subreddits that I miss and feel the urge to go back to every now and then, but I realize that there is enough content on Lemmy to satisfy me during my coffee breaks. And it's enough to keep me from going back.
Same here. I go to Reddit for a specific thing and forget I’m not on lemmy, see some promoted post or whatever, and wonder who would even dare post that shit here, then remember and switch back.
It’s been nice to be able to reclaim yet another part of my life from advertisements and incessant tracking.
