Fediverse

Upping the active count, no lurking for me

It is very clear that new content per day has been steadily increasing the past 14 days.

Lemmy is no longer just promising, it is already good. With signs of getting even better.

With more active users, more niche communities should soon be able to do fine too.

I think it shows that the great migration from Reddit is actually happening. After the 1st of July, we can expect to see Lemmy growing even more since the changes on Reddit are gonna be in full effect.

I'm gonna comment so as to be counted as active.

Oh so lurkers aren't counted as active? That's even promising since many users on any site never comment or post.

The site has felt way more usable in the last week, too. Haven't had much time to contribute myself, but I was browsing Active last night and thought to myself "hey, this feels just like the Reddit I know and love"

Once the niche communities take the plunge, its endgame for Reddit

To be honest, i am using reddit via Apollo and lemmy but as soon as that shuts down im transitioning to lemmy full time.

There will probably be another bump on July 1st, and probably more to come as Reddit makes more horrible decisions going forward.

100% honestly, I'm not married to the whole concept of the Fediverse - I think it's interesting and solves some problems plaguing modern social media, but has other issues of its own - but Lemmy has, overall, put out a good showing in the various instances' content so far. So here I am with an account and actively posting. Looking forward to continued growth!

Does this comment make me active now?

Just realised I have not replied to anything yet, so using this thread to check it works.

Just been lurking until now but I guess we can +1 that active user count. Just waiting for sync to add a lemmy app and then it's full steam ahead.

Adding a comment to ensure I'm being flagged as active. Can't remember if I've posted or commented since joining.

I'll also become active with this comment so I can be counted!

So not even counting the lurkers

People say the real migration will happen on July 1st, but people can't move if they don't know where the apps are going.

Link people to Sync for Lemmy and Liftoff for Lemmy (already usable) on Android

and Memmy for Lemmy (already usable) for those on iOS.

Even if you do nothing else, make sure to upvote content and comments, and subscribe to communities. Bringing content over from reddit (or even just googling stuff) to the new applicable community would be extra helpful (a lot of empty communities at the moment).

Things keep looking better here, so I'm optimistic about lemmy.

Thank you for showing the growth in ACTIVE users, not just accounts. Its still impressive, and more truthful!

I just signed up. Coming from reddit. Hopefully this is a good alternative.

I'm only one person but I never returned to Reddit after the blackout. They could do a complete u-turn and even make sp*z that little fucker walk the plank but I would still be done with that place.

I am really excited to see the community we build from here on out.

This feels great. The posts right now seem a lot more genuine compared to reddit lately. Keep it up!

This is great news for Lemmy, let's hope that community grows even larger, as more users leave reddit.

Checking in (￣ー￣)ゞ

Previously uncounted lurker also commenting for the stats.

So active users doesn't include users who are only browsing/voting on posts? If so that's even more impressive.

Signed up like 15 minutes ago, count me in

I'm here to boost that active user number. Hoping this takes off.

Found my way here as part of the Grand Reddit Migration. Applying for refugee status please. (1st day on Lemmy, looks good gotta say)

Count me in

I am totally active, boys.

+1. Bye Reddit. Hello Lemmy! Struggling a bit to find my way around. Excited to find so many people willing to contribute to make Lemmy their new home. Feels good to be here.

I am a big lurker and I need to stop

Lurker adding comment so I can be counted.
