In other news, Sync is coming to Lemmy.
Whatever the number, I've definitely noticed in the past few days that there are getting to be enough people having conversations and posting content for this place to feel like a legit community instead of a ghost town. I'm really glad to see more people joining and taking part.
For example, your comment is the first one I have seen that has over 30 upvotes since I came on board a week back.
It's been amazing to feel like we're part of something that's growing so fast. I'll miss Reddit but I expect Lemmy will fill in the role sooner rather than later.
How easy is it!
I just used my Reddit name and continued here.
No effort what so ever.
Bit to wrap my head around the idea of subs being completely different communities on different servers, but I LIKE that idea.... no Fascist Overlords to control the groupthink.
I guess (if this is how the Lemmyverse/Fediverse works) is some AWS/cloud instances are going to be spun up hard and fast!
This is my first comment on Lemmy , excited to be here as we embark on a new journey away from Reddit.
I'm excited for Sync coming to lemmy , my go to app for reddit browsing was Sync.
And obligatory fuck spez
Just heard the news about Sync and instantly registered here. I'll still be hoping for Boost to cross over, but Sync is infinitely better than Reddit's app. A decent client was all that was missing for me to make the plunge, let's hope that's the case for more people.
And yes, fuck Spez
How do i stop lemmy from spewing out new 1 point posts when I'm viewing the top posts like weekly or daily
Far and away the biggest problem at the moment, lol.
On desktop in the address bar change the end from /page/1 -> /page/0 ;)
the interface is just so clean. it feels like early internet and I love it.
Were you using new reddit? I don't find it that different from old.reddit (which is fine by me).
I think it's either bots or some spooky spammers that are falsely reporting the number of users. e.g. lemmy.k6qw.com currently claims to have 44k users with no posts...
So now I just gotta build up a new feed from scratch, that's the part that sucks the most. So many nice niche communities I've discovered over the years on reddit... But it was time, reddit has been going downhill for years.
I'm in the middle of doing the same. Its a shame when you go through your list of subreddits and can't find an equivelant community on here. Nevermind niche subs, there will still be plenty of 1mil+ subs which are missing from here.
Nor do I want to create and be the only mod of about 20 different subs. I feel like that requires a special sort of person lol.
I am building my wall of Subscribe Pendings, which I tend to like a butterfly collection.
Sadly those are bots, real amount of users is around 150k. Source: https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/post/176547
Apparently a lot of those bots are just farming reddit and reposting here. Which I think in the short term is a good thing. People are more likely to join/stay if they see content. On the other I hope lemmy has the tools to prevent bot content from overwhelming user generated posts to the point that it loses the authenticity.
Line goes up?
You failed to continue multiplicative growth therefore your investors are going to pull their money... Wait there are no investors, there is no ipo. I'm going to donate 10$.
I came here in search for an alternative for reddit. I am glad I found this place
Same, and I'm already loving this place
Love it, and we’re not even at 1st July, when all 3rd party apps stop working (shame or not I still go back to reddit with Apollo to enjoy the drama).
Also, we don’t need 400 million users to have a variety of communities with good discussion and content - a few million is more than enough, probably.
Unfortunately most of the communities I'm interested in are ghost towns
The growth is insane, fediverse is coming!
I've been on Lemmy since last Monday (like 10 days). It's meteoric!
Back then, simply posting ANYTHING automatically meant you made the front page.
@MicroWave the fact that there are almost a million people that are users on lemmy shows that there are a million more on the fediverse as a whole. i am very glad lemmy federated on activitypub. so i can use mastodon to communicate to lemmy communities.
Fuck you Spez, most may be bots right now but those bad boys will eventually become real users.
And some, I assume, are real users.
Ngl, I'm gonna miss these early days I think. Hopefully we have instilled some type of decent, thoughtful culture on here that can keep us grounded and keep flourishing.
I really like getting in on these big threads later at night when everyone is chopping it up and making me think.
I just joined lemmy and this is the first social media service where I could grab my short username instead of a longer one no one uses I'm very glad
Hi all, here from Apollo.
I'm glad I caught this username
Love to see it.
I joined like 10 sec before
I don't doubt there's a great amount of user growth, but it appears that many of those are account creation spam on instances with 1 active monthly user though.
Edit to add a comment I made on another post Basically there might be about 200k real users right now including lurkers, growing at a rate of basically 13.5k per day.
The good news is that bots seem to be joining particular instances made for them. This will make preventing them from ruining the fediverse easy, just defederate from instances like k6qw.
If they start joining instances such as this one, then that is its own issue, but each instance can solve it to their own needs. I'm not too worried about bots on Lemmy at all really.
Honestly the only thing missing now is a good app for iOS. However I’ve been using the mobile browser version and it works just fine. I hope Apollo’s dev sees an opportunity here and goes for it.
