I'll just say, the more I hang around Lemmy, the more I enjoy the genuine conversations. It feels like less snark, less joke replies, and just a generally more community-type feeling. Reminds me of when I first tried Reddit after leaving Digg way back when.

Hopefully, us exiles can leave the Reddit back at Reddit.

I feel the exact same, and I’ve been hanging around here for almost two years (the great 3rd party app exodus of ‘23).

This place feels more like a community filled with people versus a firehose of internet wrapped in layers of corporate and right wing BS.

Reddit was almost exclusively read-only for me. Here, I am commenting all the time.

This is one of the reasons I stayed. It was still small enough back then that you actually started to recognize people you had conversations with, and not just the troll farms.

I find a bunch of snark here, but it absolutely feels more genuine. With reddit it felt like half the comments I saw were from bots. More than half, maybe.

I hate everyone on lemmy but at least I'm hating people

You know it's bad for Reddit when people were even talking about going back to Digg

Monthly Average Users

as opposed to DAU (Daily) or WAU (Weekly)

For a live product, the number of average users / time is a pretty telling metric.

I wonder what the arc will look like this time.

Wow. And we’re almost at the halfway point of the month. I wonder if we’ll reach 100k at eom.

[–] mesamunefire@piefed.social 54 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Woo! That's awesome. I am seeing quite a few more people.

We are already successful, I'm seeing stories, news articles, and videos that normally would never get pushed to the top. We can actually talk about things without overwhelming censorship, strange algorithms, or ads.

Nice

To anyone new wondering about phone apps for Lemmy, I use "Thunder" and it works great.

Also, feel free to say Luigi without getting banned.

[–] JayDee@lemmy.sdf.org 23 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Voyager also work good.
