Yeah I just found out about this project/the fediverse, been looking for several weeks for the best replacement to Reddit and this is by far the most promising. Also, as a self-hosting enthusiast, I'm liking this place more and more by the minute. With any luck increased visibility will continue to push activity & content. Power to the people.

Also, as a self-hosting enthusiast

Self-hosting a Lemmy instance is cheap and easy! I know someone running one off a $5/mo Linode server. You should give it a shot!

It'll take a while for the volume to trickle down to the smaller more niche communities, but I have already seen the volume increase tremendously in the large ones. Let's enjoy the ride.

Even the bots migrated from Reddit.

Meaningless metric (mostly bots, we all know that) but active user numbers are also up.

Yet it feels like an echo chamber. My local community I created had 3-4 posts per day until 2 days ago. Now zero people are posting lol

It's ironic that this post about addressing potential bot problem is mostly likely written by ChatGPT.

Notice how repetitive the use of "This can help" is?

And that it's properly formatted lol. But serious, the biggest spam I see here are users complaining about bots without evidence that they're a real problem. I believe a lot of them are simply scrapping reddit and posting that content here or are otherwise folks who don't want to see redditors migrating. My take is: Welcome aboard everyone! Make an account and say hey wherever you like to become an active user.

Just because you say it in a positive way, doesn’t make it true. Everyone is glad people are joining, but the reality is 2.5m accounts vs 40k active users is a bit suspicious. If anything, you are the one ignoring the facts and replacing it with your feelings.

This platform has some work to do on security. Lots! And no one is suggesting all of these possible “bot” accounts are active at this moment. It’s weird you’re being so dismissive of an issue people have been talking about on this platform for a while now.

It seems that those of us who look beyond the hype are a minority. Lemmy has potential but also serious problems. Bots are an obvious one, meta and co invading sooner or later is another. Tankies are something that we need to keep talking about and keep an eye on any politically influenced moderating, esp. on lemmy.ml

And 2.45 million of them are bots.
