Lemmy.world grew from about 51k users when third-party reddit apps started to shut down to about 84.8k users at the time of this post.
Definitely felt some growing pains in the past few days, but it's great to see the platform more active now that things have become more stable.
So, welcome reddit expats!
14k users per week, 22k users per month, makes it look like a bunch of people tried it and then didn't come back.
They shut the API off on Thursday/Friday, and it's a four day holiday weekend. Not sure how final any numbers could be right now.
I'm happy to be here. Thank you.
My appreciation for Lemmy has increased 127% since I joined.
The impressive thing is the active user ratio of over 25%! Good job everyone.
There's likely more room for growth as several apps are still working as they move to the subscription model, so I wouldn't be surprised if there is another mini wave on the horizon!
Now hopefully the content appears, as well
I used Redact to edit out all my Reddit posts and deleted my accounts when Apollo died. Bring on the distributed communities! (Also this is weird and new and I'm not 100% sure what I'm doing, but it's exciting!)
I'm actually surprised its not more some instances grew by multiples right?
