    Whatever the number, I’ve definitely noticed in the past few days that there are getting to be enough people having conversations and posting content for this place to feel like a legit community instead of a ghost town. I’m really glad to see more people joining and taking part.

      Agreed. It’s really nice to see top posts having a lot of thoughtful engagement. Hopefully we’ll have enough to start seeing people branching out to smaller niche communities too.

      It’s been amazing to feel like we’re part of something that’s growing so fast. I’ll miss Reddit but I expect Lemmy will fill in the role sooner rather than later.

      For example, your comment is the first one I have seen that has over 30 upvotes since I came on board a week back.

      Just heard the news about Sync and instantly registered here. I’ll still be hoping for Boost to cross over, but Sync is infinitely better than Reddit’s app. A decent client was all that was missing for me to make the plunge, let’s hope that’s the case for more people.

      And yes, fuck Spez

    First comment on lemmy. It’s exciting, but like, difficult. I can’t be the only one who thinks it’s too complicated. Reddit had one subreddit per thing. Here, there’s infinite instances with so many of the same subreddit.

    I joined in the last few days. Seems like this site has much better content. Less bots and reposts. Plus, the user base seems a lot more intelligent in general at this point.

    I don’t doubt there’s a great amount of user growth, but it appears that many of those are account creation spam on instances with 1 active monthly user though.

    Edit to add a comment I made on another post Basically there might be about 200k real users right now including lurkers, growing at a rate of basically 13.5k per day.
