Lemmy is booming

The Reddit exodus has begun! My only regret is not learning about lemmy and the fediverse before things blew up over there.

a few years ago it was literally a handful of ppl posting 90% of links and talking to each other, witnessing firsthand how complicated it is to get over that initial user retention bump, but i’m convinced we’re over it now :)

i tried lemmy a few months ago but i didn't find enough content. I'm happy to see popularity is going up, and the new android app is a real game changer

it's absolutely awesome here! :⁠-⁠D
I feel like being part of the internet of my youth again.

I still have no idea what I'm doing :)

Excuse my ignorance, but can Lemmy and the others handle a Reddit exodus?

All we need is for Christian the Apollo app developer to port over his app to lemmy

Lemmy and the fediverse are such unique and cool concepts. I hope to see Lemmy grow even more in the future!

Yep, fediverse observer reports monthly active users count has doubled in four days, no real change in revenue (money donated) it seems which is a shame. The conversion rate needs to improve IMO and it seems that the option to donate is not attracting the attention it deserves. I think lemmy needs more improvements so it will be able to retain a bigger chunk of the users that is exploring the platform, look at what happened to mastodon and the fediverse after the migration after elon musk buyout , According to the statistics almost half the users are gone.

I hope Lemmy does well whether reddit implodes or not. Great concept!

It's kind of awesome :) A question to others here. I mostly see stuff from beehaw and lemmy.ml on All. Are these the most active servers?

And this is only the second day since the API changes were announced. I expect there will be lots of people coming over in the month of June, and probably another big influx on July first when Reddit apps shut down for real

Well, it got me to try installing an instance of my own. We’ll see if I manage to keep it running 😂

Hello world! My first Kenny Lemmy comment! I have no idea what I'm doing :D all I know is I'm mad at hell and I'm not going to take it anymore! In regards to Reddit anyway hehe. I will kinda miss Reddit, but if Lemmy gets a good following I imagine it should be better than Reddit ever was 😎

Messaging from the Jerboa app I just downloaded from the play store.

A few nights ago I discovered Lemmy as I needed to find a Reddit alternative fast knowing I will longer be able to use Reddit is Fun.

I've been a Redditor for almost 12 years now, I remember when it was a wild community where there was freedom of speech, few bots, it was the best source of memes next to cheezeburger, which was how I discovered Reddit.

I used it nearly everyday, and watched it's decline, I remember when Elena Pao or whatever the fuck her name bought into the company, since then it's become snipped more and more to the point I don't recognize it anymore.

It transformed into some sort of money hungry beast, that is destroying its self from the inside out, trying to get people to use their shitty ad riddled app with a shitty interface.

I am so happy I found you guys, I really want to see Reddit's blackouts go on indefinitely, infact I just wanna watch it burn. It's dead to me, the owners suck, it's just as bad as Facebook and the other main social media platforms now.

Any person I know who uses Reddit, I will point them here.

This site's like a breath of fresh air, small communities and the excitement of not quite know what you're doing lol, no muscle memory open close and open again

Personally I'm excited for my Lord of the meme (lotr memes)s server to eventually get people of the same interest.

This has happened in R's past: see Voat (I wont link it here). I hope we can keep this an open and engaging community without all that hatred.

Thanks for the welcome! I'm still a bit confused by how this all works, but not gonna lie I think it's pretty cool and I wish I knew about this earlier.

Yes, it's great. I'm enjoying this a lot. Welcome, everybody!

It is cool to see this platform getting some attention as reddit's biggest mistake draws nigh.

Cheers! Lemmy has been awesome so far! I just need Mlem to be developed more, or have some other iOS developer come in.

On Desktop, it seems Lemmy is at its best right now.

Let's hope Lemmy becomes a real alternative for reddit. The infrastructure looks good, now we just need the communities.

Yeah, I hope the momentum keeps going!

Reddit won't work on my phone anymore so I had to find somewhere new, and most other places are alt right cesspits

I'm done with Reddit once July 1st hits...it'll be a change but once Lemmy takes off I can totally see it being a great replacement...already feels like home!

I just joined today and first impression is great. Seems like a lot of nice people ended up under the same ceiling. :)

I tried looking at google trends to see if there are recent spikes in searches for lemmy, but it's a bit had because they didn't categorize for the lemmy software.

hell yeah hell yeah dudes rock

I've been greately enjoying it so far, especially now that I'm making small contributions

i cant help but worry its going to go south as everything does once a critical mass is hit

reddit refugee here! So far so good except there’s not a native app for lemmy on iOS so I’m using a safari “add to Home Screen” webapp for lemmy.ml , works pretty good!

Boom 💥

Its so nice to see decentralized social media becoming more mainstream hopefully everyone will be off the big platforms soon

I like it here so far.

I am so excited to discover how to navigate around here! looking forward to all of you :)

Maybe I'll become more active now 🤔

happy to be here. Is lemmy named after lemmings?

Opening this post crashed jerboa 3 times 😂
