Lemmy.world has grown by about 66.6% since reddit's API shutdown
Lemmy.world grew from about 51k users when third-party reddit apps started to shut down to about 84.8k users at the time of this post.
Definitely felt some growing pains in the past few days, but it's great to see the platform more active now that things have become more stable.
So, welcome reddit expats!
You're viewing a single thread.
Reddit is a read-only site for me now, and only when I'm searching for something specific. All my "forum browsing" time goes to Lemmy now. Can't wait until I can unfollow the last few Twitter-only accounts (public transit alert accounts) so I can complete my migration to Mastodon.
if you are reading reddit only then I recommend to use libreddit.hu Doing this wouldn't give reddit their juicy traffic
Or even better: install the libredirect extension to do this automatically, not just for reddit.
Yeah trying to keep Reddit activity to a minimum myself. Not missing it tbh, other than troubleshooting posts through the years lol
If you have a problem post it to lemmy. We can try help.
