Lemmy.world grew from around 51000 total users the moment 3rd party reddit apps started to shut down on June 30 to 71000 total users at the time of this post (July 1). That's a 40% growth in about 12 hours!

Using Wefwef myself and lemmy.zip...both have been snappy as I was accustomed to using Apollo.

I joined Reddit when Digg made some drastic mistakes. Not sure Lemmy will be the answer, here I am regardless.

I’m also a former Snoo

Still learning the ropes of it all. I'll try not to be just a lurker like I am ha.

Glad to see folks coming over here, definitely shaping up into a preferable alternative :)

You can really tell, as posts that used to have 1-2 comments now have 4-5. It's nice chatting with y'all

It’s weirdly exciting to have a fresh start on a new platform. Hoping to see those numbers continue to grow!

I just joined and so far I'm really liking it. Gonna have to figure out the new format these instances, but I'm up for it!

What app are you guys using for Lemmy now ? I'm on Jerboa . I find it laggy while scrolling. What's a better alternative?

[–] impulse 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Connect for Lemmy is amazing.

There's also wefwef, which seems to be a clone of Apollo.

Popular Reddit apps like Sync and Boost are currently in the process of making Lemmy ports.

Liftoff for Android has been a solid alternative.

You can clearly see the growth! More to come :D

Crazy!! I don't envy the admins lol, tho they're doing a fantastic job in keeping the server up.
