I think it is cool that it is coming up on nearly 2 million across all ~1200 instances.
Cool, I got in before a quarter million!  (my first comment)  *typo
Hello fellow programming.dev lemmings!
We should spread out across it, if the lemmy.world hack and the fact that its admins are even flirting with the idea of fedding with threads are any indication
Yay! My first post! Still figuring things out such as logging in, communities, etc. A bit different from the old world, but the browser is very Apollo-like - God bless everyone for this! MOAR!!!!! More people, more posts, more POWER muahahahahahaha! Go Lemmy! Go Fediverse! ...sorry, I'm not adding anything other than cheers here.
Was vlemmy.net one of those before it, ah, went off to see Titanic?
I can't recall seeing it in the top 10 within the past month when I started tracking. It only had about 4500 users though.
Heck yeah! Let's go!
Why is kbin never included in these breakdowns? Is it not "formally" considered lemmy or something of that sort?
Sometimes it is, say here:
https://fedidb.org/current-events/threadiverse
But you might as well say why isn't Mastodon included? Kbin is a fundamentally different platform and architecture, even if the two are largely compatible (as is Mastodon, to a slightly lesser extent with Lemmy).
It is perfectly reasonable to look at the growth of Lemmy, think of it like quoting use of one flavour of Linux - Linux uptake overall is also interesting, but not the same.
What did happen to reddit though? Everything seems to continue as it always has. I was using Joey for Reddit to browse it, ant that still works as far as I know
2000 upvotes on front page posts is what reddit had in ~2012, 2014 and by that point reddit was already one of my main time wasters
To them 200k users leaving is nothing and they aren't even all gone, most probably just use both now
But wait 4 years and lemmy might have become a painless viable alternative
Of the top five, sh.itjust.works seems to be the best. Definitely the instance that I would recommend to new users.
