Fediverse

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

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?

nice

Hi guys just made an account and deleted the Reddit app (after giving up hope and deleting Apollo). Guess this is where I’m hanging out now

I, too, am an active user!

Just found lemmy today, and I'm already liking it

Count me in

When I first signed up two weeks ago, the highest-voted posts might have had about 20 upvotes. Now I am regularly seeing posts in the hundreds. It makes me wonder what the first post to reach 1000 upvotes will be?

Upping the active count, no lurking for me

Gotta make a comment then ;)

I think Lemmy's Fediverse is harder to censor as well? They have a sprawl of domains that can federate to censored ones.

Welcome, Lenny users!

Instead of deleting my Reddit account, I'm replacing all my comments there with, "edit: //I've moved to Lemmy //"

I’ve been lurking and trying to figure it all out so I’m not part of that stat so I’d imagine there are lots of folks like me. I’m not super active on Reddit but not having Apollo means I have to lurk somewhere else.

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

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!

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.

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

Hoping that Lemmy grows and is a viable alternative to Reddit. Honestly just looking at lemmy.world and all of the activity and communities, it appears to already hit that mark!

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

*just incrementing the figures *

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.
