I signed up and then went to bed. I'm assuming the world took that as a sign and followed me. Or perhaps I should cut down on the hard drugs, idk

The jump is caused by Spez being a twat.

I'm just here so i don't get fined. created an account because the developer for my reddit app is working on One for lemmy. So figured I'd give this a try

This is my first post, I just signed up. I was on reddit from the early days. I liked it then a lot more. This has that feel. I also like that it is open source - hopefully that will bring more developers.

Hopefully they're all a real people and not bots or something.

Someone mentioned it on a Reddit post about mods so I'm giving it a go. Stopped Twitter a while back and don't use Facebook. I like the concept of aggregated content around topics I'm interested in just not by evil companies.

This has to have something to do with the newly discovered API exploit to rapidly create accounts without any limits, right? Instances without captcha or email verification are vulnerable still, AFAIK.

This is probably just the first big wave. The biggest will be when the apps themselves actually shut down - fence sitters will then have to make a choice to download the official app or try an alternative and I think a lot of people will be curious to see if the grass is greener.

Soon we will look back amazed at these growing little numbers. They're growing quickly but I expect it to grow by one or two more orders of magnitude over the coming months!

Remember this is CEO proof as long the servers can maintain, donate to your homebase server if you can.

People are tired of Reddit's abusive policies and of not be heard, and this is our response. I will keep use Reddit thanks to an user which made this, and thanks to the dev of Infinity for make it open source: https://www.reddit.com/r/Infinity_For_Reddit/comments/14c2v5x/build_your_own_apk_with_your_personal_api_key_in/

But I will remain here on Lemmy with Jerboa and see how it evolves.

No idea myself but we have to remember that not all the users that come try this will stay, so I anticipate once the Reddit nonsense blows over the community will shrink a bit. I am going to stay, but I was "lemmy curious" before the reddit business.

This is getting so much larger! It's doubled again while active users aren't changing much. We may need to figure out this bot problem.

Hello and I'm with you too. I wish you success in developing Lemmy.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I'm going back to some older style board websites. I'm looking for a reddit replacement (deleted account there) and never knew of this site. I heard about it from Shacknews.

Hmm, it seems odd that the number of total user's has increased so much without the number of active user's increasing as well. Unless people are having trouble logging in?

Hopefully is not an army of bots, but for me that's the most plausible explanation.
