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.
Agreed. It's really nice to see top posts having a lot of thoughtful engagement. Hopefully we'll have enough to start seeing people branching out to smaller niche communities too.
For example, your comment is the first one I have seen that has over 30 upvotes since I came on board a week back.
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$.
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 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!
Soon, the novelty accounts are going to start showing up here again.
something something undertaker mankind cage something.
I want to see shittywatercolors here in the fediverse!
Where are you shitty? We want your colors of water
I understand the bot concern, but when I look at the comment and active user figures, they're all in the same trendline of exponential growth. This is the exodus just beginning. Personally I'm finding Lemmy to be a refreshing alternative that serves far better than what Reddit has become. I think it's what we've all been waiting for, and the secret's starting to get out.
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.
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 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.
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...
Yeah that's a bad instance.
There are many more bad instances like this in the statistics. I think it will become a problem for Lemmy sooner or later.
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).
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.
Bot accounts......so many bots......

@MicroWave
There is a huge bot issue right now (started 3 days ago). All the numbers are worthless.
It’s a known issue, all admins should add captcha to the subscription page, delete the bots and re-compute the actual number of users. Unless we do that, we won’t have a correct number.
We can still look at the Monthly Active Users. Bots don’t post (yet)
@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.
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.
Lemmy is fantastic
I'm super excited for Sync for Lemmy.
Also tinfoil hat on for a second. If there are really as many bots as people keep suggerting. Who has an interest in sabotaging lemmy?
But then it's probably the same bits which are everywhere now interested in lemmy because it gained users.
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.
Lets fucking go. Fuck you spez.
AND MY AXE!
AND MY BOW
How do i stop lemmy from spewing out new 1 point posts when I'm viewing the top posts like weekly or daily
I'm really not sure these are spam bots. I suspect it's actually mostly people playing with the exploit that was recently posted on their personal instance. Definitely still bots though.
Fuck you Spez, most may be bots right now but those bad boys will eventually become real users.
I am one of them! Hello!
I came here in search for an alternative for reddit. I am glad I found this place
And some, I assume, are real users.
