This is a better metric than registered users. I'm enjoying this early stage of lemmy where everyone seems eager to use the platform. It's giving the same vibes as the old forums I used to participate in the early days of the internet. We just need more content creators and we are set!

The comment sections have been pretty engaging in the communities that are getting established quickly, but I can't wait for more people to start posting. I have a community for SpacePorn and it's just me posting things and almost 100 people watching with the very rare occasional comment popping up. It's a little frustrating feeling like I have to keep entertaining everyone, when I just want others to join in π .

Woot woot!
Iβve been commenting here more than I did on Reddit where I lurked accountless on old.reddit, letβs hope the trend continues.
Same. I feel like what I say here is actually heard.
Exactly. This right here is a microcosm of that. I discussed poetry with someone last night. I havenβt discussed that in years! Itβs nice here.
Ps, I just saw how many posts youβve created and wanted to thank you for all the effort you are putting in here. I spend a ton of time surfing, and appreciate all the work that the technical people are doing to allow us to have a new home.
@[email protected], thanks so much! I used to lurk on reddit, but now I'm trying to do a little bit to help this site and lemmy grow. I see you're contributing as well.

Much better statistic than total users due to all the spam bots recently created.

I didn't think I would get on with Lemmy but it's actually really good!
Welcome! Thoughts so far?

This kind of growth is absolutely insane.
Reddit refugee here.
Looking forward to seeing how this goes
As long as a good amount of us refugees contribute to help make this a vibrant and interesting community by sharing thoughts and interests, this should go pretty well. Iβm loving it so far. Cheers!

I hopped over recently. Very happy to be here.
Next part of the Fediverse I'd like to see grow like that is PeerTube, so we can flip the Red Site a (few thaousands of) middle finger.
I think that is more complicated, as the channels need to generate revenue. Additionally, videos take up much more storage, and there is no option to select an instance like Lemmy. I only see options to selfhost.

Finally, a useful stats as total user count skewed by bot spam.
Speaking of bots, they are still inactive aren't they?
For the most part they seem to be. There's an instance with like 50k "users" but only 10 active, which tells me the bots are registering but most aren't being used yet.
It is a bit unnerving to have bots to human ratio that high on the network. I hope they will never activated and many compromized servers get cleaned before something bad happens.

Everytime I look, that sharp rise on the right keeps getting taller.
With the Sync dev announcing a version for lemmy, it might actually bring in a flood of new (real) users even before July 1.
That's what brought me in. Used sync for Reddit, wanna be familiar with how this works for when I use sync for lemmy

I wonder how many of those are active users vs spam / bots
Iβve only seen one or two spam bots so i canβt imagine itβs alot.

I'm glad we're taking off. The sooner we can shift our communities over to the fediverse, the better.
Yes yeees, amazing, keep making your users hate you reddit, hehehehe
stΓΆnk
If you take a look on fedidb.org, there's a TON of instances with ~30,000 users but 1 active user. I checked one and the admin had commented that he had email verification off but manual approval on and wasn't getting anyone registering, so he turned manual approval off too. Welp.

Hopefully not majority bots
I tend to sort by new and all, and it seems like the majority is bots copying posts over from reddit, they have original link to the post on Reddit but there is the bot disclaimer on a lot of posts recently. Maybe it will die down a little once these bots move all the data from reddit to lemmy

I don't post much other than memes but I comment lots and try to upvote quality posts. Reddit is dead to me, I spend too much of my time on social medias anyways.
Welcome to your new addiction.

Itβs good to see. On June 30/July 1 weβre likely to see another big influx of users when the Reddit API changes go into effect and Apollo et al shut down.

Just joined. I really hope this kicks off, because it would be sad to see reddit prosper after all the greedy nonsense.

Surprising it's gained this much traction, considering Reddit literally doesn't allow this site to be linked on their platform (which is honestly so petty)

btw. can this instance handle the load?
Lemmy.world can apparently handle up to a million users with the current configuration. I'm not sure what instance you're on, though.
