I’ve tried looking online but I’m not savvy enough to find a good answer. I haven’t been on Reddit since June 30, and am interested in seeing the number of people who have migrated. I know the Reddit user base is huge, so idk if it has been enough to hurt the site. Fuck spez.

That’s good to see. I know the first few days that I used Lemmy my feeds were pretty sparse. Now I can endlessly scroll though new content. I hope the growth continues.

And now that there is enough to infinite-scroll, that's enough to satisfy any one user. Of course, it's true that having more content will allow for a larger number of high quality posts and the ability to serve more niche communities, but at least there is a viable alternative for that Reddit itch now. It's so much easier to uninstall Reddit apps than it was a month ago.

Infinite scrolling requires jerboa to not randomly freeze up...(at least for us mobile app folk)

Yeah with lemmy i haven’t even thought about checking Reddit out. I can’t wait for the comment sections here to grow, a lot of posts only have handfuls of comments. I still don’t have the heart to delete Apollo yet, and I’ve caught myself opening the app out of habit. It might be about to time to fill that spot with lemmy.
