This is a better metric than registered users. I'm enjoying this early stage of lemmy where everyone seems eager to use the platform. It's giving the same vibes as the old forums I used to participate in the early days of the internet. We just need more content creators and we are set!
The comment sections have been pretty engaging in the communities that are getting established quickly, but I can't wait for more people to start posting. I have a community for SpacePorn and it's just me posting things and almost 100 people watching with the very rare occasional comment popping up. It's a little frustrating feeling like I have to keep entertaining everyone, when I just want others to join in π .
Iβm in a similar situation in !ultralight@lemmy.world. Getting people engaged is a bit like getting people to dance at a party, many people want to but someone has to break the iceβ¦ things Iβve tried is pinning a post asking people to stop by and say hi, also comment on each post so thereβs something to latch onto, people wonβt click in with 0 comments. You can also try a joke post to break the ice, in the case of SpacePorn you could combine a picture of a galaxy and a swimsuit model and say βAm I doing this right?!?β or something; itβs stupid but hopefully it makes someone laugh.
Just tell me where to post photos of a Whippet in a hat and I'm there. π
Woot woot!
Iβve been commenting here more than I did on Reddit where I lurked accountless on old.reddit, letβs hope the trend continues.
Same. I feel like what I say here is actually heard.
Ps, I just saw how many posts youβve created and wanted to thank you for all the effort you are putting in here. I spend a ton of time surfing, and appreciate all the work that the technical people are doing to allow us to have a new home.
@SoPunny@lemmy.world, thanks so much! I used to lurk on reddit, but now I'm trying to do a little bit to help this site and lemmy grow. I see you're contributing as well.
Exactly. This right here is a microcosm of that. I discussed poetry with someone last night. I havenβt discussed that in years! Itβs nice here.
You happy with this stat, @ulu_mulu@lemmy.world?
Haha :D
Thanks for listening :)
Happy to please!
I'm happy too. Thanks for asking π
The power of collaboration
To the moon!
I hopped over recently. Very happy to be here.
Reddit refugee here.
Looking forward to seeing how this goes
As long as a good amount of us refugees contribute to help make this a vibrant and interesting community by sharing thoughts and interests, this should go pretty well. Iβm loving it so far. Cheers!

This kind of growth is absolutely insane.
I didn't think I would get on with Lemmy but it's actually really good!
Much better statistic than total users due to all the spam bots recently created.
What is the evidence that they are bots and not people who just lurk?
I'm glad we're taking off. The sooner we can shift our communities over to the fediverse, the better.
stΓΆnk
Next part of the Fediverse I'd like to see grow like that is PeerTube, so we can flip the Red Site a (few thaousands of) middle finger.
I think that is more complicated, as the channels need to generate revenue. Additionally, videos take up much more storage, and there is no option to select an instance like Lemmy. I only see options to selfhost.
I'm not sure what you mean about no option to select an instance. Here is an example instance with open signups: https://libre.video. You can find more here: https://the-federation.info/platform/29
Youtubers could gradually switch to PeerTube by uploading videos to both sites for now. They would make money the same way they do currently - through sponsorships and donations. I'm sure many of them can afford to host their own instance. It would actually benefit them, because if YouTube suddenly bans them for some reason, they would have an alternative that their fans would know about.
Hopefully not majority bots
I tend to sort by new and all, and it seems like the majority is bots copying posts over from reddit, they have original link to the post on Reddit but there is the bot disclaimer on a lot of posts recently. Maybe it will die down a little once these bots move all the data from reddit to lemmy
Finally, a useful stats as total user count skewed by bot spam.
Speaking of bots, they are still inactive aren't they?
Yes yeees, amazing, keep making your users hate you reddit, hehehehe
I wonder how many of those are active users vs spam / bots
Iβve only seen one or two spam bots so i canβt imagine itβs alot.
Ironically, you've double posted this comment.
Surprising it's gained this much traction, considering Reddit literally doesn't allow this site to be linked on their platform (which is honestly so petty)
I don't post much other than memes but I comment lots and try to upvote quality posts. Reddit is dead to me, I spend too much of my time on social medias anyways.
Everytime I look, that sharp rise on the right keeps getting taller.
With the Sync dev announcing a version for lemmy, it might actually bring in a flood of new (real) users even before July 1.
That's what brought me in. Used sync for Reddit, wanna be familiar with how this works for when I use sync for lemmy
If you take a look on fedidb.org, there's a TON of instances with ~30,000 users but 1 active user. I checked one and the admin had commented that he had email verification off but manual approval on and wasn't getting anyone registering, so he turned manual approval off too. Welp.
Go to this website and scroll to "All lemmy nodes". That table lists all the real instances at the top. https://the-federation.info/platform/73
Now thats a healthy looking curve, nice!
Just got here using WefWef as a daily Apollo user. Iβll be browsing daily after June since Reddit is killing third party apps. I think a lot of people are in the same boat.
