Looks like Lemmy is climbing up to the 2023 exodus days numbers again

You're welcome.

I'm glad more people are realizing how evil big tech companies are.

I finally bit the bullet and deleted my 14yr old Reddit account last night. It was the only way to break my habit.

In 2010 I was part of the Great Digg Exodus, and now in 2025 I'm part of the Reddit->Lemmy migration. Truly I'm part of the crowd.

I feel like as more people wake up to how social media is toxic and quite literally programming by the rich, they will seek out alternatives that are owned by the people.

This is how the Internet was intended to be.

Proud to be one of the active user 🫡

Hopefully people start posting in niche communities!

(But not the Taylor Swift armpit one)

what you mean all around the GLOBE there are only 47k active users? How does it compare to Reddit? I am an ex redditor. Banned for a comment in unpopular opinion sub lol

Lemmy has so much more and more diversified content than at the time of the API exodus. Hopefully, it will help us much more lemmygrant this time around.

Yes I’m here so expect this place to be filled with awful soon.

I can’t go back to Reddit. Bots, bots as far as the eyes can see.

I came back to Lemmy as in trying to avoid American corporation owned social networks. Reddit falls into that category.

What happened 2023?

numbers

Sounds like good news. Only heard about this place start of this year so glad to be in the numbers

I finally made the move to setting up an account here and wean my reddit usage.

It's getting so bad on there, so many bots, trolls, and paid agitators. Plus the uptick in fascist apologists. Smaller communities with higher bars to entry produce better conversation, in my experience.

I’ve logged back onto here for the first time in ages because I do not trust big tech.

Thank fuck, maybe I can go back to being a lurker lol

I've probably posted more here in just the last couple months than my entire decade+ years old Reddit account LMAO

So we have about as many users as the subreddit dedicated to Taylor Swift's armpits

Hopefully they are active and interesting people.

Lfg!!!

Yeah, I can tell; I've had a sharp uptick in people picking arguments and then sticking their fingers in their ears.

Slow and steady wins the race.

Lemmy.ca signups per day if we go back to the start of the first exodus:

It's no wonder when every other comment on Reddit is an obvious bot. Either the bots here are less obvious or they're not here yet.

Fun times.

Do you have a graph for these numbers?

Definitely above the threshold of immortality.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t Lemmy determine active users differently now, as compared to then? I recall a .world post about that, contemporaneous to when active users spiked. In any case, I appreciate the new folks!

Hey, where are you getting these stats from? I ask because FediDB is down.

whee!!! let the rollercoaster climb for the reddit decline!

👈 Hey!
