4 days before reddit's 3rd party app shutdown, Lemmy daily active users has skyrocketed 1600% this month
(lemmy.world)
From 3000 daily active users on June 1, 2023 to 47500 on June 26, 2023.
According to Lemmy's documentation, "An active user is someone who has posted or commented on our instance or community within the last given time frame."

I think it shows that the great migration from Reddit is actually happening. After the 1st of July, we can expect to see Lemmy growing even more since the changes on Reddit are gonna be in full effect.
I'm really trying, the main thing I miss is the amount of content and the general navigability of reddit. Finding new subs was so easy and lemmy feels harder to just browse imo. I've moved to the lemmy RSS and deleted my reddit bookmarks to help keep me from going there out of weakness though.
We'll see to what degree the migration stays/works. I would be very happy to see some competition in this space.

Also native search works pretty well https://sh.itjust.works/search?q=cat&type=Communities&listingType=All&page=1&sort=TopAll
These should help. Definitely agree about the amount of content. There's a lot of subs that haven't even migrated over yet.
It is a bit harder due to fragmentation but it will get better, don't worry. Also plenty of new upcoming apps.
