In other news, Sync is coming to Lemmy.
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.
For example, your comment is the first one I have seen that has over 30 upvotes since I came on board a week back.
This is my first comment on Lemmy , excited to be here as we embark on a new journey away from Reddit.
I'm excited for Sync coming to lemmy , my go to app for reddit browsing was Sync.
And obligatory fuck spez
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
Line goes up?
You failed to continue multiplicative growth therefore your investors are going to pull their money... Wait there are no investors, there is no ipo. I'm going to donate 10$.
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.
How easy is it!
I just used my Reddit name and continued here.
No effort what so ever.
Bit to wrap my head around the idea of subs being completely different communities on different servers, but I LIKE that idea.... no Fascist Overlords to control the groupthink.
I guess (if this is how the Lemmyverse/Fediverse works) is some AWS/cloud instances are going to be spun up hard and fast!
Ngl, I'm gonna miss these early days I think. Hopefully we have instilled some type of decent, thoughtful culture on here that can keep us grounded and keep flourishing.
I really like getting in on these big threads later at night when everyone is chopping it up and making me think.
Sadly those are bots, real amount of users is around 150k. Source: https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/post/176547
Apparently a lot of those bots are just farming reddit and reposting here. Which I think in the short term is a good thing. People are more likely to join/stay if they see content. On the other I hope lemmy has the tools to prevent bot content from overwhelming user generated posts to the point that it loses the authenticity.
Bot accounts......so many bots......

I think it's either bots or some spooky spammers that are falsely reporting the number of users. e.g. lemmy.k6qw.com currently claims to have 44k users with no posts...
Yeah that's a bad instance.
There are many more bad instances like this in the statistics. I think it will become a problem for Lemmy sooner or later.
I understand the bot concern, but when I look at the comment and active user figures, they're all in the same trendline of exponential growth. This is the exodus just beginning. Personally I'm finding Lemmy to be a refreshing alternative that serves far better than what Reddit has become. I think it's what we've all been waiting for, and the secret's starting to get out.
July 1st is going to be interesting.
Yes, I expect some instances to have some difficulty coping with the traffic in July
I sometimes go to Reddit again, mostly by habit, but once Relay stops working, I'm done.
I came here in search for an alternative for reddit. I am glad I found this place
Same, and I'm already loving this place
Soon, the novelty accounts are going to start showing up here again.
something something undertaker mankind cage something.
I read shittymorph's most recent Undertaker post in a thread the other day. It felt like a semi retirement post; at least that's the vibe I got from it.
Maybe some will migrate here, maybe new ones will pop up. End of an era either way though.
Fuck you Spez, most may be bots right now but those bad boys will eventually become real users.
Lemmy is fantastic
Love it, and we’re not even at 1st July, when all 3rd party apps stop working (shame or not I still go back to reddit with Apollo to enjoy the drama).
Also, we don’t need 400 million users to have a variety of communities with good discussion and content - a few million is more than enough, probably.
@MicroWave
There is a huge bot issue right now (started 3 days ago). All the numbers are worthless.
It’s a known issue, all admins should add captcha to the subscription page, delete the bots and re-compute the actual number of users. Unless we do that, we won’t have a correct number.
We can still look at the Monthly Active Users. Bots don’t post (yet)
I wonder if these are real users or if someone wrote a script to register users via the lemmy API… 🤔
I can confirm that after a week of people posting links, I - a real user - finally took the plunge to sign up today.
-Sincerely, cdipierr-bot
Notice the disparity between monthly active users and registered users. These are bots. I'm very tempted to block these instances outright.
Just block them. going to have to with the number of bots on it.
Unfortunately most of the communities I'm interested in are ghost towns
I am one of them! Hello!
The growth is insane, fediverse is coming!
I've been on Lemmy since last Monday (like 10 days). It's meteoric!
Back then, simply posting ANYTHING automatically meant you made the front page.
gas gas gas
The good news is that bots seem to be joining particular instances made for them. This will make preventing them from ruining the fediverse easy, just defederate from instances like k6qw.
If they start joining instances such as this one, then that is its own issue, but each instance can solve it to their own needs. I'm not too worried about bots on Lemmy at all really.
I kind to want to jump to a smaller instance
So now I just gotta build up a new feed from scratch, that's the part that sucks the most. So many nice niche communities I've discovered over the years on reddit... But it was time, reddit has been going downhill for years.
