Fediverse

The jump in posts over the last month is incredible. I find Lemmy quickly replacing Reddit which is great.

We all need to post this on reddit. Spread the word that this platform is booming and more people will come over!

It's insane how well this timeline syncs with reddit's API bs!

From the very first day spez announced the API changes and steadily increasing until most of the 3pa shut down then BAM. Good for Lemmy and hopefully bad for reddit!

Hype is real. Feels like this is the place to be. Reddit 2011 vibes with the high quality discussions. It'll only get better. To the fediverse and beyond!

I feel like when I browse All I still just see the same 20 posts

I definitely held out thinking they would change their mind about the API but day finally came and I made a Lemmy account and didn't look back

This is reminiscent of when I was first on Hotmail back in the 90's. I remember getting an email from the Hotmail team when they first hit a million subscribers.... They were bought out by Microsoft within the year.... My username is my original Hotmail address.

Just joined. Can't wait for Boost for Lemmy

I'm doing my part. I had two posts on Reddit. One was superniche and got 30ish points. Whatever, I was happy. It had useful info for the other people on the sub. Then I posted something to the broader community and got two downvotes in like 1 second, killing it. How did they even look at it? I think someone was sitting there gleefully downvoting every fucking thing. I never posted again.

I've been here since mid June and have made 264 posts, like WTF. I'm having more fun here than I ever did on Reddit and I don't get that sick feeling I used to get from seeing all the outrage posts and mean comments (to everyone, not just me).

Loving Lemmy.

We all can be very proud.

We did it Lemmy! We've reached an arbitrary number of posts.

Great! I was a bit sceptical about the new users grow in the past weeks, but I think this information is more reliable

This is posts per day? The image makes it seem like so, the title not so much. 1 million posts per day and growing is a huge thing if so

Leaving a comment to say I was here in the making of internet 3.0

Finally made the switch, looking forward to doom scrolling here :)

Lemmy feels like Reddit 10-15 years ago, which is great.

Invest! Invest! Oh wait, I’m glad that’s not the point here ;)

Well count me in. It took me two weeks to successfully create an account, but it finally didn't crap out on me.

Maybe this is the good thing. Let Reddit stay filled with the lowest common denominator and divisive politics. Making Lemmy a little more hassle than the common user wants to experience to get into might be the only thing that keeps it from becoming the ban heavy echo chamber Reddit is.

Really glad I get to witness history in the making. This is definitely the future and stoked to see it growing so quickly.

Holy fucking shit that's insane. What's wild is, if I understand it correctly, that's basically linear with how many users have joined, meaning people are posting more than ever before (on a per user basis).

I'm not saying it's because of beans, but it's probably because of beans.

What happened June 21st? It's the first exponential growth and it's also when I made my account, but I don't remember what was the trigger to finally make an account.

Edit: I think it's when they started trying to force subreddits back open: https://www.reddit.com/r/ModCoord/comments/14ffsk8/reddit_is_a_bully/

I did my part. Made a post here, never did on reddit in ten years.

Wow, over 4K. This might be the most upvoted post yet.
