No matter what this guy says or does, millions have switched to Lemmy not only is it like reddit, its better, its what reddit used to be.
Now, all will calm down for reddit but the boat started to leak and many will not go back. Just like many didn't go back to twitter. We will see a slow and steady increase of fediverse activity.
This is truly the web3 we all deserved.
Not to put a damper on, but it's more like 50k who started posting on lemmy in the past week for a total of 110k. We basically doubled the user count, but still are an order of magnitude away from 1 million.
It's 60k actually
Edit: 60k people joined, not total amount
Youβre looking at lagged statistics, itβs over 112k now.

3 days ago it was 8k new users a day, then 10k and in the last 24 hours 20k new users have signed up to Lemmy.
Hoping to see the acceptance and acceleration of Lemmy continue.
We were talking about how much more people joined and not the total amount tho
Edit: and I use this site btw https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats
Well, maybe the 1000000 contained a bit of marketing but the point is that many of the people discussing this here probably didn't know Lemmy existed 3 weeks ago and that number will only increase. There is nothing that can stop the fediverse from eventually overtaking everything else as its not a single entity. Also, growth may not be exclusive either, its not required for reddit to fail so that fedi can succeed. They can coexist.
I hate that web3 was taken by the crypto idiots. Federation makes so much more sense as "web3"
Enhβ¦
Yeah I think Lemmy still has a lot of wrinkles to iron out before we can even say "close to", but hey, everything's gotta start somewhere. Here's hoping.
