Fediverse

It is very clear that new content per day has been steadily increasing the past 14 days.

Lemmy is no longer just promising, it is already good. With signs of getting even better.

With more active users, more niche communities should soon be able to do fine too.

I'm gonna comment so as to be counted as active.

Upping the active count, no lurking for me

Oh so lurkers aren't counted as active? That's even promising since many users on any site never comment or post.

So not even counting the lurkers

this keeps getting touted but isn’t it a huge number of bots causing the rise?

I think it shows that the great migration from Reddit is actually happening. After the 1st of July, we can expect to see Lemmy growing even more since the changes on Reddit are gonna be in full effect.

So active users doesn't include users who are only browsing/voting on posts? If so that's even more impressive.

Found my way here as part of the Grand Reddit Migration. Applying for refugee status please. (1st day on Lemmy, looks good gotta say)

To be honest, i am using reddit via Apollo and lemmy but as soon as that shuts down im transitioning to lemmy full time.

Finally I know what counts as an active user thank you!

There will probably be another bump on July 1st, and probably more to come as Reddit makes more horrible decisions going forward.

100% honestly, I'm not married to the whole concept of the Fediverse - I think it's interesting and solves some problems plaguing modern social media, but has other issues of its own - but Lemmy has, overall, put out a good showing in the various instances' content so far. So here I am with an account and actively posting. Looking forward to continued growth!

Just been lurking until now but I guess we can +1 that active user count. Just waiting for sync to add a lemmy app and then it's full steam ahead.

Does this comment make me active now?

This feels great. The posts right now seem a lot more genuine compared to reddit lately. Keep it up!

I just signed up. Coming from reddit. Hopefully this is a good alternative.

Man, I knew I made the right decision to promote "Barbie" on this Lemonworld thing instead of reddit.

Giving this place a shot... Can't be worse than Reddit

Just realised I have not replied to anything yet, so using this thread to check it works.

+1-I'm doing my part

Even if you do nothing else, make sure to upvote content and comments, and subscribe to communities. Bringing content over from reddit (or even just googling stuff) to the new applicable community would be extra helpful (a lot of empty communities at the moment).

Things keep looking better here, so I'm optimistic about lemmy.

Previously uncounted lurker also commenting for the stats.

More than 2k upvotes for a post, impressive compared to last month!

Now this is a metric I can get behind, instead of the million bot accounts

People say the real migration will happen on July 1st, but people can't move if they don't know where the apps are going.

Link people to Sync for Lemmy and Liftoff for Lemmy (already usable) on Android

and Memmy for Lemmy (already usable) for those on iOS.

I've just registered, read this last night and had to comment just to be a part of it. Happy to find a really good alternative.

This seems like very important information worth sharing in general but also wherever these stats are posted including in the software itself (via (?) or tooltip).

It also means that the real number of active users, which includes lurkers, is actually higher.

I still think the majority of registered users are bots though. I don't think we have actually have 2,000,000 people on here.

What's a good estimate of lurkers? 10% of actives? 200% of actives?

Hi guys just made an account and deleted the Reddit app (after giving up hope and deleting Apollo). Guess this is where I’m hanging out now

Fediverse social seem a thousand percent more chill and make me 100 percent less stressed and depressed than non fediverse social.

Hope Lemmy grows at a steady pace so the resources can keep up. It's amazing it's handeling this amount of Traffic already.

Thank you for showing the growth in ACTIVE users, not just accounts. Its still impressive, and more truthful!

The site has felt way more usable in the last week, too. Haven't had much time to contribute myself, but I was browsing Active last night and thought to myself "hey, this feels just like the Reddit I know and love"

Once the niche communities take the plunge, its endgame for Reddit

nice
