Registration and discovery needs to be simplified tremendously for long term viability. But it’s a good start.

Image Transcription: Line Graph

[A line graph is shown depicting the number of users on Lemmy over one month's time. The horizontal axis lists the date of each reading, with an interval shown for every day. The earliest date begins at '2023-05-28' and the most recent date is given as '2023-06-26'. The vertical axis measures the number of users, with intervals marked at every 5,000 users, with an upper limit of 50,000 users. There is a green trend like and a blue trend line graphed from plot points at every horizontal interval. The green line is labelled 'Active users monthly' shows increase over time. The line remains flat at approximately 1,000 users from the '05-28' date mark to the '05-31' mark, then begins to gradually increase to approximately 10,000 users, starting to show a trend similar to the beginning of an exponential growth curve. At the '06-11' date mark, the line begins increasing at a relatively steady rate, with the last marked date showing just over 45,000 users. There are two points in which the line shows an apparent indication of levelling off in user count, before then showing a sudden increase in users again, with neither of these points significantly impacting the overall upward trend. These points are at the dates '06-16' and '06-21'. The second graphed line, the blue line, is labelled 'Active Users Half year' and starts at approximately 3,000 users, but follows an almost identical trend shape as the green line as it increases approximately parallel to it. The blue line ends at around 48,000 users at the final graphed point.]

That will be interesting to see how this graph behaves after 1st july

I can't wait for this place to blow up. Definitely missing some of my niche subs but hopefully they will appear at some point!!

Reddit refugees flooding the border

Uh. I wonder what might have caused that...

just created an account. looks familiar but janky

First day, checking in. So far, so good.

Refugee here. Been poking around trying to find the right place in the fediverse for ages, while lurking on reddit for pics, memes, and news. The impending death of reddit apps was just the push I need to finally make a decision. Happy to finally be here and looking forward to the expansion of a decentralized decorporatised internet

Idk exactly what I'm doing but I'm having fun!

I am so new here and have generally no idea what's going on, but I an excited to be here at the beginning.

Hopefully a viable Reddit replacement here

The most wonderful part of this, for the unfortunately uncoordinated like me:

scrolling and accidently clicking a random card is now always a random post and not an ad launching a browser window I immediately close and curse.

It's amazing how bad it got for awhile out there.

Just landed here from Reddit. I feel like I need a breakdown on how to use Lemmy and KBin and the differences and just everything in general lol

Happy to be here, even if I'm still confused asf as to how Lemmy works. Jerboa isn't working very well for me, but I'm super thrilled to be a part of the migration!

Posting so I'm also a statistic.

Insane Growth

I'm loving Lemmy, but man they have to make it a lot easier to sign up and get on a server.

Thank you for welcoming us to the Fediverse. I hope we can bring more good than bad. People are so fragile and flawed, but we can try to not be assholes or own at least own up to it if we do.

❤️ Free hugs! ❤️

The biggest issue with this website is the lack of basic explanation of how it works. Imo, the moment someone visits this website for the first time, a pop-up should appear explaining what this is, and how it works in maybe one simple paragraph at most.

Getting users to come and try is great, but the real challenge is to keep them on the platform and get them to contribute. Fingers crossed!

Happy to be part of the sudden stress test of your software and infrastructure! June 30 hit and I needed a place to go. Found Lemmy. Found Connect for Lemmy. I don't know if this is the future for a Reddit-like service, but I'm pleased to see some real activity and I'm glad to be a part.

Commenting to pump those numbres up!

Here's to hoping that number triples in the next few days.

Downloaded Connect on Android and I'm really enjoying it. I hope to see Lemmy do well!

Glad to be here! Lots of similarities to Reddit but without all the fluff. Almost like how Reddit used to be. Loving it here so far!

Writing here so my account counts!

I hope more communities move to lemmy, especially the mental health/support ones.

As for lemmy in general, I have to say that apart from the lack of videos, it's not bad at all, even the android apps are already better than the official reddit one (terribly slow for some reason).
