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.

[-] baggins@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 years ago

I already didn't read past the first few hundred comments on reddit- Lemmy already feels almost as good to use, way more than mastodon did coming from Twitter.

[-] rezz@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Mastodon is simply not as good. Lemmy achieves its objectives very cleanly and seems to leverage ActivityPub the best in the fediverse by far.

Watching the last 3 weeks has been exciting. Dead subs springing to life & much more content. New subs every single day.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 years ago

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

[-] JollyTheRancher@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Indeed! That would be me, but I would now like to contribute to the totals so I am contributing this fairly worthless comment!

So not even counting the lurkers

[-] MicroWave@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Yeah, lurkers aren't counted. Only those who have commented or posted within a specified period.

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

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

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!

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.

[-] PurpleSquare@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Upping the active count, no lurking for me

[-] MathAndBall@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 years ago

I've been mostly a lurker on Reddit for the past 10 years but something about Lemmy just makes me want to engage in the community more than reddit ever has

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.

[-] Candelestine@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Agreed. I imagine the devs and admins here are looking at it as a bit of a deadline of sorts. It's going to be a big bump in traffic, best to have as much as you can in place.

If you can have useable app out by then, you'll get a big sudden surge in interest. It's just a really nice opportunity for an aspiring dev.

[-] theGimpboy@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I'm really trying, the main thing I miss is the amount of content and the general navigability of reddit. Finding new subs was so easy and lemmy feels harder to just browse imo. I've moved to the lemmy RSS and deleted my reddit bookmarks to help keep me from going there out of weakness though.

We'll see to what degree the migration stays/works. I would be very happy to see some competition in this space.

[-] banned@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

https://sub.rehab/

https://lemmyverse.net/communities

!communitypromo@lemmy.ca

Also native search works pretty well https://sh.itjust.works/search?q=cat&type=Communities&listingType=All&page=1&sort=TopAll

These should help. Definitely agree about the amount of content. There's a lot of subs that haven't even migrated over yet.

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

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

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

[-] MicroWave@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

The bots have inflated the total users count (around 2.4 million), but they aren't active (yet). So for now active users is a recommended way to measure the fediverse. But once the bots start posting, we'll have to find another way to track real user activity.

[-] AussieTom@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

My understanding is that's causing the rise in accounts (2.5m!) not the active accounts data

[-] realbaconator@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

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

[-] iaamp@programming.dev 6 points 2 years ago

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

[-] OtakuAltair@vlemmy.net 6 points 2 years ago

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 definitely noticed the uptick in the number of communities and new posts. Exciting times.

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

[-] BrockSampson@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

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.

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