Fediverse

the interface is just so clean. it feels like early internet and I love it.

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.

Lets fucking go. Fuck you spez.

Sadly those are bots, real amount of users is around 150k. Source: https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/post/176547

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

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.

I came here in search for an alternative for reddit. I am glad I found this place

How do i stop lemmy from spewing out new 1 point posts when I'm viewing the top posts like weekly or daily

Unfortunately most of the communities I'm interested in are ghost towns

This is my first post on Lemmy and I just want to say that I'm so happy to be here guys. Finally my dream of seeing a decentralized social media platform gaining unprecedented traction is coming true.

I am one of them! Hello!

Tons upon tons of spam accounts on spam instances:

And some, I assume, are real users.

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$.

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.

The growth is insane, fediverse is coming!

Hello everyone! Waiting for the mobile app so i can leave reddit for good

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...

@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.

Hi all, here from Apollo.

I'm glad I caught this username

HOLD DIAMOND HANDS

I joined like 10 sec before

July 1st is going to be interesting.

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.

Oh man, I hope this server can maintain. Support if you can. There is no CEO but there is a server admin who has to pay for us to be on it. No centralization means its up to us to keep it going. I don't know the history of lemmy world and I'd hate to see it go because it was too expensive for it's popularity. Something to think about.

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
