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!

This is my first comment on Lemmy. I'm still learning the ropes but about to nuke my 10 year old reddit account with probably at this point tens of thousands of comments - content for Reddit.

Man the servers got hit today didn't they!

The future is looking bright

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

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

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

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

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 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!

Glad to be here and be a part of the community! It's unfortunate Reddit is going the way of Digg, but definitely looking forward to watching Lemmy grow and develop.

[-] ijeff@lemdro.id 7 points 1 year ago

Another one from the Digg to Reddit migration!

[-] clue@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

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