I am a big lurker and I need to stop

[–] SiKCLeR@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Upvoting/Downvoting/Subscribing should count as active too. (From a lurker)

Happy to be one of them and be contributing to a ton of communities, apps, and teams that im sure will help make this a successful and less centralized set of communities!

Lurkers unite!

Giggity!

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.

[–] have_an_ice_day@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sync is reddit to me, so when it goes down I can't see myself going back. I set up a Lemmy account yesterday and am impressed so far knowing it's still in the early stages. I'm excited to see what LJ can do with Lemmy.

Had to restart my instance so I'm commenting here to make sure I add to the active user count. Looking good, Lemmy! Let's hope we can keep this momentum going into the next month (and beyond)!

[–] Sterben@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I am so glad that I am part of this project. Keep it up!

PS: I am here from Reddit. 💪

[–] ThatsDrSpaceJunk2U@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Lurker adding comment so I can be counted.

[–] BuckRowdy@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I'm here from reddit, too, so the number just went up one more.

[–] fsponge@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I’m excited to be here.

[–] denhafiz_@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Great! Deleted both of my Reddit accounts for about a week now.

[–] Anarch157a@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Does this metric include all federated instances, including Kbin, or is this just lemmyy.world ?

[–] malloc@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ok. First post. Let's show reddit we are leaving!

[–] burretploof@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I'm happy to be here. Lemmy seems like a good place so far. I'm not sure if it will take off in the long term (I think a lot of people don't "get" the whole federated thing, just like with Mastodon), but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Glad to be here, July 1st, probably the most biggest wave of users for this platform

[–] xandertron@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

have been loving it so far, the jerboa app is either a bit buggy or this instance is having troubles

wishing sync devs could eventually adapt for lemmy, as i really liked the ui

Incredible. I'm posting content and comments here more than I was doing over there. Together we can do this!

[–] lazyalpaca@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

*just incrementing the figures *

[–] pakiyimo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Let's goooo! Feeling like refugees fleeing war and finding a new home, far from conflict.

[–] simo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Didn't initially like the look of lemmy and tried Kbin, but kbin randomly was slow and has no way to hide posts. Lemmy seems snappier and more concise...hoping to find some ability to hide content if you upvote it. I love clearing my feeds up once i've seen content once.

edit: I see there's a hide read option in settings! What constitutes a read post on a desktop PC? Opening comments? simply scrolling past it? Interesting...

edit 2: ohhhh shit, opening comments AND it hides on upvote - fuck yes, well i'm here to stay then.

Cheers!

This seems like very important information worth sharing in general but also wherever these stats are posted including in the software itself (via (?) or tooltip).

It also means that the real number of active users, which includes lurkers, is actually higher.

I still think the majority of registered users are bots though. I don't think we have actually have 2,000,000 people on here.

What's a good estimate of lurkers? 10% of actives? 200% of actives?

[–] Sunforged@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

No one is in disagreement that bots are the majority of registered users.

[–] mstrk@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I'm a little bit of a lurker yes. I comment when I think I can add something to the discussion, but I usually like to read more than I contribute unfortunately.
