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!
I know its only one data point, but I just logged on to see how many people were online in a sub i used to frequent and it was down 30-50%, the lowest numbers i've seen all year.
I'm curious to check stuff like that, but I'm refusing. Just checking it counts as traffic, and I don't want them to mistake my morbid curiosity for me still using it.
I hope I am not missing anything if I joined using lemmy.ml.
No, federation means we all see the same content regardless of which site we sign up on with the exception of sites that yours may block.
But be wary that lemmy.ml is a tankie instance and the ".ml" stands for Marxism-Leninism. I generally avoid lemmy.ml communities so I don't get banned for saying "the uyghur genocide is a real thing" or anything.
Glad to be here and be a part of the community! It's unfortunate Reddit is going the way of Digg, but definitely looking forward to watching Lemmy grow and develop.
You can really tell, as posts that used to have 1-2 comments now have 4-5. It's nice chatting with y'all
Yay! I haven’t chatted with you, but still saying hello and I hope you have a great weekend.
Just a guy here, but I hope you both have a great week, all the way up to Thursday.
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! 🍻
I'm finding that quite a lot of communities exist, they just take more work at the moment. For me, I've found a uk community but cannot post due to signing up to .world. creating an extra account doesn't send the verification email. I see all this of teething problems tho as was always the case with reddit.

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