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!
Welcome new reddit expats!
Welcome newcomers to the fediverse!
I'm excited to be here! I heard a lot about the digg migration to reddit around when I first started on there 10 years ago. Never thought I'd be a part of the next one so soon!
Joined yesterday day. It's a bit of a learning curve and requires some time to rebuild my "front page". I'm enjoying it so far, haven't stepped foot on Reddit once since then besides my muscle memory launching bacon reader a few times.
I'm here!!! Fuck Reddit!!
Oh damn, I remember people saying that everybody interested in Lemmy already joined by now. I'm really curious how things will look one week from now
My experience today was Apollo not working, learning about the amazing https://wefwef.app, and now here I am making my first post. I like it!
I already learned my lesson when I signed up to the big Mastodon instance hosted on the other side of the world—found the second largest US-based server I could find, signed up there, rock solid so far.
Just found out about the wefwef PWA app which is pretty damn good as an Apollo replacement. Hopefully it can be a native iOS app in the future. Definitely made me ease into Lemmy a lot easier. Hope good things for the future.
Good to see Lemmy grow, but I hope that the decentralization will work out so that the large influx of new users will spread out as evenly as possible. General purpose instances help balancing the load, and last time I checked join-lemmy.org there have been several general purpose instances, which seems promising.
I think once people start to figure out just HOW the Fediverse works, they'll start spreading out. I joined beehaw originally, then they defedereated from lemmy.world, which is where most of the communities were that I had subscribed to. That's why I joined lemmy.world...
Hi, my name is power2bill. Feels odd to not have RIF on my phone. I'm going to lurk for awhile and make a comment every 2-3 months. Hopefully, new communities pop up that I used to go on from reddit. I'll be here enjoying usefully, and sometimes not useful information. Cheers everyone! 🍻
Well, sorry for saying this folks, but I regret having deleted my Reddit account...
... before editing all my comments to point to Lemmy.
Reddit expats represent.
Glad to be here! Just got to learn the ropes.
Whoooo!! Here we go. New era of internet. Twitter is dying, reddit is dying, I can't wait to see the decentralized web come to life.
You can really tell, as posts that used to have 1-2 comments now have 4-5. It's nice chatting with y'all
I'd like to say glad to bere here, but tbh it makes me sad to leave behind my Reddit account of almost a decade.
Lemmy look promising though (and still slightly confusing :)
