Fediverse

Registration and discovery needs to be simplified tremendously for long term viability. But it’s a good start.

Image Transcription: Line Graph

[A line graph is shown depicting the number of users on Lemmy over one month's time. The horizontal axis lists the date of each reading, with an interval shown for every day. The earliest date begins at '2023-05-28' and the most recent date is given as '2023-06-26'. The vertical axis measures the number of users, with intervals marked at every 5,000 users, with an upper limit of 50,000 users. There is a green trend like and a blue trend line graphed from plot points at every horizontal interval. The green line is labelled 'Active users monthly' shows increase over time. The line remains flat at approximately 1,000 users from the '05-28' date mark to the '05-31' mark, then begins to gradually increase to approximately 10,000 users, starting to show a trend similar to the beginning of an exponential growth curve. At the '06-11' date mark, the line begins increasing at a relatively steady rate, with the last marked date showing just over 45,000 users. There are two points in which the line shows an apparent indication of levelling off in user count, before then showing a sudden increase in users again, with neither of these points significantly impacting the overall upward trend. These points are at the dates '06-16' and '06-21'. The second graphed line, the blue line, is labelled 'Active Users Half year' and starts at approximately 3,000 users, but follows an almost identical trend shape as the green line as it increases approximately parallel to it. The blue line ends at around 48,000 users at the final graphed point.]

The most wonderful part of this, for the unfortunately uncoordinated like me:

scrolling and accidently clicking a random card is now always a random post and not an ad launching a browser window I immediately close and curse.

It's amazing how bad it got for awhile out there.

Joined today! Let's go!! See ya, Reddit!

Insane Growth

I’m actually really impressed with how similar an experience using Lemmy is to actual Reddit. We don’t have the established communities just yet, but the platform itself seems like a really good replacement

Glad to be here! Lots of similarities to Reddit but without all the fluff. Almost like how Reddit used to be. Loving it here so far!

Reddit refugees flooding the border

I can't wait for this place to blow up. Definitely missing some of my niche subs but hopefully they will appear at some point!!

That will be interesting to see how this graph behaves after 1st july

I’m in that graph, and wow my curves look good.

The biggest issue with this website is the lack of basic explanation of how it works. Imo, the moment someone visits this website for the first time, a pop-up should appear explaining what this is, and how it works in maybe one simple paragraph at most.

Just signed up for lemmy and this already feels better than reddit. Hope it gains more traction ahead.

Just came over last night after RIF shut down. Might as well make my first comment here for the stats. Here's to Lemmy's continued growth.

Lets see where this goes

Just moved since Sync stopped working. Hello world!

Uh. I wonder what might have caused that...

Here from the mass Reddit exodus! Excited for a new platform to learn and explore!

I'm trying to familiarize with Lemmy right now, and so far it seems great. I just hope it gains enough traction, so I can have communities as active as the one I enjoyed on Reddit (mainly book related).

The barrier to entry is super high but hopefully websites and apps are developed to make it easier for people to join. (Sync for Lemmy)

Let's also do out part and post/comment to add content to this website to make it appealing for new users.

just created an account. looks familiar but janky

Happy to be here, even if I'm still confused asf as to how Lemmy works. Jerboa isn't working very well for me, but I'm super thrilled to be a part of the migration!

I am so new here and have generally no idea what's going on, but I an excited to be here at the beginning.

First day, checking in. So far, so good.

It'll be interesting to see how Lemmy grows. I am also coming from reddit but I'm excited to see how lemmy's culture grows over time.

Refugee here. Been poking around trying to find the right place in the fediverse for ages, while lurking on reddit for pics, memes, and news. The impending death of reddit apps was just the push I need to finally make a decision. Happy to finally be here and looking forward to the expansion of a decentralized decorporatised internet

Idk exactly what I'm doing but I'm having fun!

Hopefully a viable Reddit replacement here

I am a reddit refugee here. Would love to be part of this community. Even got a user name I love than the ridiculous one I have at reddit. And this web app that you guys have built is Fucking awesome on iPhone and feels like I am using Apollo.

I’m doing my part!

Just landed here from Reddit. I feel like I need a breakdown on how to use Lemmy and KBin and the differences and just everything in general lol

Good luck, tomorrowcould be a really chaotic day

Former RIF users first comment. Hello everybody!

Wanting to be counted too!
