From 3000 daily users to 41000 active daily users!
Reddit refugee here.
Looking forward to seeing how this goes
As long as a good amount of us refugees contribute to help make this a vibrant and interesting community by sharing thoughts and interests, this should go pretty well. I’m loving it so far. Cheers!
Already dropped 10 or so comments :)
Make that 11!
This is a better metric than registered users. I’m enjoying this early stage of lemmy where everyone seems eager to use the platform. It’s giving the same vibes as the old forums I used to participate in the early days of the internet. We just need more content creators and we are set!
The comment sections have been pretty engaging in the communities that are getting established quickly, but I can’t wait for more people to start posting. I have a community for SpacePorn and it’s just me posting things and almost 100 people watching with the very rare occasional comment popping up. It’s a little frustrating feeling like I have to keep entertaining everyone, when I just want others to join in 😅.
I’m in a similar situation in !ultralight@lemmy.world. Getting people engaged is a bit like getting people to dance at a party, many people want to but someone has to break the ice… things I’ve tried is pinning a post asking people to stop by and say hi, also comment on each post so there’s something to latch onto, people won’t click in with 0 comments. You can also try a joke post to break the ice, in the case of SpacePorn you could combine a picture of a galaxy and a swimsuit model and say “Am I doing this right?!?” or something; it’s stupid but hopefully it makes someone laugh.
Just tell me where to post photos of a Whippet in a hat and I’m there. 👍
yep! I’m not much of a conversation starter but love diving into comments, let’s hope it keeps growing
Same. I‘m missing a lot of niche hobby subs (duh) over here which I’m mainly active on, and that‘s about it, honestly. Design and performance could be a lot better too. I‘ll stick around and see where it goes.
Surprising it’s gained this much traction, considering Reddit literally doesn’t allow this site to be linked on their platform (which is honestly so petty)
I’m glad we’re taking off. The sooner we can shift our communities over to the fediverse, the better.
I didn’t think I would get on with Lemmy but it’s actually really good!
Welcome! Thoughts so far?

Just joined. I really hope this kicks off, because it would be sad to see reddit prosper after all the greedy nonsense.
You picked a good instance with lemmy.world because there’s a lot of local activity already. That should keep you busy until you want to start interacting with other lemmy instances.

Those are rookie numbers, the fediverse must grow ✌🏻👀

browse.feddit.de should help
The Lemmy Explorer is a really cool new project to find communities
Wow. that is much more comprehensive

Finally, a useful stats as total user count skewed by bot spam.
Speaking of bots, they are still inactive aren’t they?For the most part they seem to be. There’s an instance with like 50k “users” but only 10 active, which tells me the bots are registering but most aren’t being used yet.
It is a bit unnerving to have bots to human ratio that high on the network. I hope they will never activated and many compromized servers get cleaned before something bad happens.

What are they up to out there…
Even if they do activate. Can’t we just defederate that entire instance. From what I have seen. Most of the bots are on instances with like 10 posts. We should just defederate all of those instances in which the user count is exponentially higher than the user activity.
Just got here using WefWef as a daily Apollo user. I’ll be browsing daily after June since Reddit is killing third party apps. I think a lot of people are in the same boat.
Hopefully not majority bots
Same here! Hopefully enough come/stay to get a nice community going
I tend to sort by new and all, and it seems like the majority is bots copying posts over from reddit, they have original link to the post on Reddit but there is the bot disclaimer on a lot of posts recently. Maybe it will die down a little once these bots move all the data from reddit to lemmy
These are not, bots are mostly dormant currently.
That’s what I was hoping/assuming, but it does worry me at the same time.
Oh I’m worried too about bots, I hope devs and admins soon find a way to deal with it.
We did it Lemmy!
Gotta get used to saying that.
Yes yeees, amazing, keep making your users hate you reddit, hehehehe
I just joined last night after leaving Reddit for green pastures here and am happy to support the site.
