I really hate graphs that start at 99% and top off at 100%

The gain is really next to nothing in the 2 months shown in this graph. It goes from ~1,456,000 to 1,468,000.... which is a 00.8% increase, less than 1%.

Are we sure it's counting 1.5 M users and not 1.5 M memes posted by picard, pug, and squid?

I don’t think lemmy would be what it is without the contributions of any one of these three- let alone all of them.

Lemmy at first was Abit barren but I'm super happy with it now. Let's hope we don't see reddit collapse and the masses turn their attention here like the digg event

My biggest complaint is it's dominated by memes, and in a distant second is news, and that's kinda it. We need so much more diverse content still.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago

Be the change you want to see!

Anyway those are probably the lowest effort content which is why you see it most. Over time though the other forms will come. Most of Reddits front-page is memes and news for the same reason.

I hope Lemmy doesn't become overrun with reddit's far-right psychos after reddit collapses.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

We can't stop them from using Lemmy either. They'll come.

But this time we can defederate from servers that tolerate intolerance.

Like Facebook, Reddit will probably just become a cesspool of conservative morons. I'm fine with them staying on Reddit. I don't think it's gonna "collapse" anytime soon.

The interesting thing to note is each website I go to that looks at the total number of lemmy users is wildly different. Im wondering if there is some sort of blocker/defederated instance occurred a couple of months ago? Im not sure.

Either way, number of users are up.

I think counting fediverse users is about as difficult as counting e-mail adresses.

I'm a super happy new Lemmy user. Last week, I created an account on Reddit for the first time ever. I replied to 3 posts in a polite manner and right on topic (in a Linux-related community, someone asked for a book recommendation. The other two were answers to technical questions on Rust and Linux). A couple of hours later, I was reading about what shadowban meant. I waited a few days, sent some messages to admins / support but to no avail. Then I searched for alternatives to Reddit and landed here. It's been 4 days, and I absolutely love it here. Lemmy seems to have that spirit of the Internet of the 90s, which I thought was long gone. Also, my assumption is that Lemmy users are of a higher quality than those on Reddit. It's very easy to end up on Reddit / IG / Facebook / etc. On the other hand, to become a Lemmy user, one actually needs to apply some effort and do at least some research. Or to have a cool friend who can recommend becoming a user here (if you have a cool friend, that makes you kind of cool too, right?). I should probably start telling my friends about Lemmy 🤔

"MORE!"

I like lemmy. I spend maybe an hour a day scrolling so enough content. i am happy there isnt more cuz i would spend more time here then.

Only thing missing is a lot of niches in all kind of categories, be that gaming specific subs or what the internet is rly made for.

Thank you Lemmy. Reddit can go piss in the wind.
