Fediverse

It is very clear that new content per day has been steadily increasing the past 14 days.

Lemmy is no longer just promising, it is already good. With signs of getting even better.

With more active users, more niche communities should soon be able to do fine too.

I think it shows that the great migration from Reddit is actually happening. After the 1st of July, we can expect to see Lemmy growing even more since the changes on Reddit are gonna be in full effect.

Upping the active count, no lurking for me

Even if you do nothing else, make sure to upvote content and comments, and subscribe to communities. Bringing content over from reddit (or even just googling stuff) to the new applicable community would be extra helpful (a lot of empty communities at the moment).

Things keep looking better here, so I'm optimistic about lemmy.

There will probably be another bump on July 1st, and probably more to come as Reddit makes more horrible decisions going forward.

100% honestly, I'm not married to the whole concept of the Fediverse - I think it's interesting and solves some problems plaguing modern social media, but has other issues of its own - but Lemmy has, overall, put out a good showing in the various instances' content so far. So here I am with an account and actively posting. Looking forward to continued growth!

I've been mostly a lurker on Reddit for the past 10 years but something about Lemmy just makes me want to engage in the community more than reddit ever has. Also it's incredibly impressive how quickly lemmy improved over the last weeks.

Oh so lurkers aren't counted as active? That's even promising since many users on any site never comment or post.

Now this is a metric I can get behind, instead of the million bot accounts

I'm gonna comment so as to be counted as active.

Just been lurking until now but I guess we can +1 that active user count. Just waiting for sync to add a lemmy app and then it's full steam ahead.

I'm here to boost that active user number. Hoping this takes off.

Does this comment make me active now?

This seems like very important information worth sharing in general but also wherever these stats are posted including in the software itself (via (?) or tooltip).

It also means that the real number of active users, which includes lurkers, is actually higher.

I still think the majority of registered users are bots though. I don't think we have actually have 2,000,000 people on here.

What's a good estimate of lurkers? 10% of actives? 200% of actives?

To be honest, i am using reddit via Apollo and lemmy but as soon as that shuts down im transitioning to lemmy full time.

As a Reddit user for over a decade that got perma-banned for reporting repost bots and blatant misinfo

Glad to see new site where I can actually be involved.

Giving this place a shot... Can't be worse than Reddit

And with all the apps pooping every 3 days it's getting even better!

So active users doesn't include users who are only browsing/voting on posts? If so that's even more impressive.

Thank you for showing the growth in ACTIVE users, not just accounts. Its still impressive, and more truthful!

Signed up like 15 minutes ago, count me in

My first comment here so that I’ll be counted as a ‘User’!

So not even counting the lurkers

This feels great. The posts right now seem a lot more genuine compared to reddit lately. Keep it up!

People say the real migration will happen on July 1st, but people can't move if they don't know where the apps are going.

Link people to Sync for Lemmy and Liftoff for Lemmy (already usable) on Android

and Memmy for Lemmy (already usable) for those on iOS.

Much better metric to see how Lemmy is growing

The site has felt way more usable in the last week, too. Haven't had much time to contribute myself, but I was browsing Active last night and thought to myself "hey, this feels just like the Reddit I know and love"

Once the niche communities take the plunge, its endgame for Reddit

Checking in (￣ー￣)ゞ

we are going to the moon boiss. let's fuckking go

🚀 🌕

I just signed up. Coming from reddit. Hopefully this is a good alternative.

Just realised I have not replied to anything yet, so using this thread to check it works.

I’ve been lurking and trying to figure it all out so I’m not part of that stat so I’d imagine there are lots of folks like me. I’m not super active on Reddit but not having Apollo means I have to lurk somewhere else.

Fediverse social seem a thousand percent more chill and make me 100 percent less stressed and depressed than non fediverse social.

I've definitely noticed the uptick in the number of communities and new posts. Exciting times.

I'm new, myself. I hope more people start coming over.

Always lurked on Reddit but happy to be counted as active on Lemmy!

have been loving it so far, the jerboa app is either a bit buggy or this instance is having troubles

wishing sync devs could eventually adapt for lemmy, as i really liked the ui
