Lemmy.world grew from around 51000 total users the moment 3rd party reddit apps started to shut down on June 30 to 71000 total users at the time of this post (July 1). That's a 40% growth in about 12 hours!

Welcome new reddit expats!

I'm here after ten years with Baconreader. Really sad it's gone, but I'm super hopeful about my future here! If anyone knows of any communities that enjoy watches or fountain pens, let me know!

First comment on Lemmy. Is there a ELI5 for Lemmy to help us get started?

You can really tell, as posts that used to have 1-2 comments now have 4-5. It's nice chatting with y'all

Using Wefwef myself and lemmy.zip...both have been snappy as I was accustomed to using Apollo.

Glad to see folks coming over here, definitely shaping up into a preferable alternative :)

Man the servers got hit today didn't they!

The future is looking bright

What app are you guys using for Lemmy now ? I'm on Jerboa . I find it laggy while scrolling. What's a better alternative?

[–] gnarly@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Liftoff for Android has been a solid alternative.

[–] impulse@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Connect for Lemmy is amazing.

There's also wefwef, which seems to be a clone of Apollo.

Popular Reddit apps like Sync and Boost are currently in the process of making Lemmy ports.

It’s weirdly exciting to have a fresh start on a new platform. Hoping to see those numbers continue to grow!

I joined Reddit when Digg made some drastic mistakes. Not sure Lemmy will be the answer, here I am regardless.

I’m also a former Snoo

[–] Deelala0516@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I just joined and so far I'm really liking it. Gonna have to figure out the new format these instances, but I'm up for it!
