Speaking of 3rd party apps, here's a list of all lemmy apps currently in development: https://lemmy.world/post/465785

For iOS, I'm testing Liftoff, Memmy, and Thunder. For Android, I'm testing Jerboa. What's everyone's favorite app so far?> The top two instances, lemmy.world and lemmy.ml have a total number of comments of 156331 and 188364.

EDIT: @Elcapitan786@lemmy.world has pointed out that this stat is for total comments by day, not per day. Thanks for the correction.

Dawn of the first day. 72 hours remains.

EDIT: Didn’t expect this comment to get this many upvotes. Here’s a song for all you Majora’s Mask fans to enjoy at Time’s End, by the magnificently talented Theophany.

It's just sad. Like when you separate out the vitriol for spez, the whole situation just sucks. Reddit was my site for over a decade, and I know there are tens of thousands in the same situation as me. I thought I was insulated from this bullshit within Reddit, but clearly I was naive.

[–] sota2077@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

No one is really insulated. The way I explained it to someone is Reddit was like a girlfriend you dated for 10 years. It was great and it was mostly on autopilot. You both enjoyed each others company. Every so often you would get in a fight but it was never anything too extreme. The API change was like a massive blow up where you two finally say things that cannot be taken back. Afterwards your relationship isn't really the same. It is not necessarily damaged beyond repair, but one of the two in the relationship is just sorta sitting there thinking "This aint worth it anymore" so they go on a break to take some time. Many people will go back. Many will call it quits. Some will go between Lemmy and Reddit. But things are just not going to be the same moving forward.

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

I was also on reddit for more than 10 years, but in that time I have posted less there, than in a few days here.

Change keeps your brain young

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

I ultimately still need to use reddit for a few things, mainly a modding group from Skyrim I'm a part of and we use reddit as a sort of hub for our work, so I'm kind of stuck there until the heat death of either reddit or the project.

I do have hope for Lemmy though, but as of July 1st, reddit will lose me as part of their mobile ecosystem because I refuse to utilize that shit app of theirs.

I'm done with Reddit. I can't support their behaviour so I'm moving on. I'm currently using Jerboa, and testing Liftoff and Thunder. All three are good, but Liftoff is my preference so far, just waiting for a few issues to be sorted which is happening over time. I'm interested to see what Sync does for Lemmy, as that was my go to Reddit app.

We could only hope for a positive grow cycle: more people > more content > more people

[–] 15liam20@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

There seems to be a big difference between browsing /all this morning and from when I first made an account. People seem to be motivated to add content which is making Lemmy punch above its weight at the moment. The Shit per User (SPU) index is pretty high at the moment.

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

Lol, with 19 days in you are actually one of the lemmy grampas . :)

SPU... fuckin' a that's a good one. I'm trying to help push up the average the best I can.

[–] carl_dungeon@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (8 children)

I’m using Mlem on iOS right now, seems pretty solid for the most part. I haven’t tried others yet, but now I will! Thanks!

Edit: follow up- wefwef feels super slick, very Apollo like, has local docker hosting option!

[–] StarManta@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I’m tag-teaming Mlem and Memmy right now. Mlem is buggier and a little less feature-complete, but it feels nicer to use.

This doesn't appear to be correct, it should be labelled total comments, by day, not per day. You can see the total number of comments on https://the-federation.info/platform/73.

The top two instances, lemmy.world and lemmy.ml have a total number of comments of 156331 and 188364.

Per day comments on lemmy.world averages between 6,000 - 10,000.

I'm part of that, I quit Reddit and nuked all my content on the way out because they're not only forcing Apollo to close down, they tried to blackmail Apollo's developer. I used to be a premium subscriber too.

[–] aRei@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I was just using Sync for Reddit when I noticed I can no longer load comments and then a pop up came up that said I was being rate limited by reddit. F this, I'll no longer visit that site even.

[–] AskThinkingTim@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I’m using Memmy right now. All the Apollo users should fully migrate when it’s down.

[–] Smack@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Looks like it has already started. People are reporting limiting errors in apps.

[–] BananaTrifleViolin@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I'm a bit dubious about this stat; it feels similar to the User's stat being over run by bots.

Lemmy has about 50,000 users, similar to Kbin, but it's users are commenting 120 times and also posting 16 times each a day on average? That seems unrealistic.

For comparison, Kbin (which actually has a slightly larger active user base) is produced about 100,000 comments a day, which is about 2 comments a day and about 0.6 posts per user per day. Interestingly Kbin's total users and active users are almost identical.

The threadiverse is certainly doing well, but I think the Lemmy stats continue to be skewed away from reality. I'm wondering if this is not actually all to do with bots, but some fundamental error in the counting/collection? Are the same comments and posts and maybe even the total user count in Lemmy being counted multiple times in the data fed back by the different servers?

Gonna be super interesting to see this curve from 1st Jul...

[–] cazyius@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I’ve chosen to go 100% cut off from Reddit but was a daily Apollo user. I averaged around a couple of hours of use each day with Apollo. Since I left Reddit a couple of weeks ago I tried only using the browser version which has been pretty hard. But now that I found Memmy I’m super happy. A lot of the interactions are similar to Apollo and I feel I can interact a lot better with the fediverse using the app.

[–] paddirn@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Narwhal user and I cut the cord on the day the protests started. I just wanted to pull the band-aid off and move on. I was holding out hope that Reddit would reverse course, but it was pretty clear from their actions since then that that’s not happening. 6/30 was the original date I gave myself to delete posts/comments/accounts, so I’m scorched earth this Friday.

Plus one

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

For apps, Connect and Summit seem to be the best I've tried. Summit is closest to the app Slide that I used on the website that shall not be named.

Jerboa crashes on older servers so I haven't really been able to use it as Lemmy.world is a 17.X server because of the captcha removal "feature".

Wait, there really are 5.7 million comments a day on Lemmy?

[–] ClassyHatter@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Maybe, but how many of them are by bots?

[–] sota2077@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah there are a lot of communities out there where there is just a bot that appears to be mirroring what is posted on the subreddit it mirrors. There are a ton of posts like that I have seen.

Wow that's crazy! Curious to see what will happen on the 30th.

[–] spunker88@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

For android I was using Jerboa but switched to Liftoff and am liking it so far.

Memmy is almost feature complete. wefwef.app if you don‘t want to install an app or don‘t have a testflight ticket.

[–] Cubes@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Really hoping they can get the version incompatibility and stability issues worked out. Most users are going to want to use a mobile app they can just get on the play store/app store and currently Jerboa is still experiencing a lot of crashes and weird glitchiness. I tried Thunder too, but it also crashes randomly, but at least it lets you log into whatever instance you want, unlike Jerboa 0.0.35+
