Lemmy Just Reached 1 Million Posts

The jump in posts over the last month is incredible. I find Lemmy quickly replacing Reddit which is great.

We all need to post this on reddit. Spread the word that this platform is booming and more people will come over!

It's insane how well this timeline syncs with reddit's API bs!

From the very first day spez announced the API changes and steadily increasing until most of the 3pa shut down then BAM. Good for Lemmy and hopefully bad for reddit!

Hype is real. Feels like this is the place to be. Reddit 2011 vibes with the high quality discussions. It'll only get better. To the fediverse and beyond!

I feel like when I browse All I still just see the same 20 posts

This is reminiscent of when I was first on Hotmail back in the 90's. I remember getting an email from the Hotmail team when they first hit a million subscribers.... They were bought out by Microsoft within the year.... My username is my original Hotmail address.

I definitely held out thinking they would change their mind about the API but day finally came and I made a Lemmy account and didn't look back

We all can be very proud.

Just joined. Can't wait for Boost for Lemmy

Leaving a comment to say I was here in the making of internet 3.0

We did it Lemmy! We've reached an arbitrary number of posts.

I'm doing my part. I had two posts on Reddit. One was superniche and got 30ish points. Whatever, I was happy. It had useful info for the other people on the sub. Then I posted something to the broader community and got two downvotes in like 1 second, killing it. How did they even look at it? I think someone was sitting there gleefully downvoting every fucking thing. I never posted again.

I've been here since mid June and have made 264 posts, like WTF. I'm having more fun here than I ever did on Reddit and I don't get that sick feeling I used to get from seeing all the outrage posts and mean comments (to everyone, not just me).

Loving Lemmy.

Great! I was a bit sceptical about the new users grow in the past weeks, but I think this information is more reliable

This is posts per day? The image makes it seem like so, the title not so much. 1 million posts per day and growing is a huge thing if so

It's been really cool witnessing the activity of this place grow.

Lemmy feels like Reddit 10-15 years ago, which is great.

Finally made the switch, looking forward to doom scrolling here :)

Invest! Invest! Oh wait, I’m glad that’s not the point here ;)

Well count me in. It took me two weeks to successfully create an account, but it finally didn't crap out on me.

Maybe this is the good thing. Let Reddit stay filled with the lowest common denominator and divisive politics. Making Lemmy a little more hassle than the common user wants to experience to get into might be the only thing that keeps it from becoming the ban heavy echo chamber Reddit is.

I'm not saying it's because of beans, but it's probably because of beans.

Really glad I get to witness history in the making. This is definitely the future and stoked to see it growing so quickly.

Holy fucking shit that's insane. What's wild is, if I understand it correctly, that's basically linear with how many users have joined, meaning people are posting more than ever before (on a per user basis).

Wow, over 4K. This might be the most upvoted post yet.

What happened June 21st? It's the first exponential growth and it's also when I made my account, but I don't remember what was the trigger to finally make an account.

Edit: I think it's when they started trying to force subreddits back open: https://www.reddit.com/r/ModCoord/comments/14ffsk8/reddit_is_a_bully/

I love it here.

(I wonder if they’re getting worried yet.)

I did my part. Made a post here, never did on reddit in ten years.

Lemme celebrate

You can absolutely feel how much bigger it got, and it feels more and more populated every day.

I've been here only one week and the change has been so obvious.

Lemmy feels cozy. Reddit feels unpleasant

That is one beautiful graph!

How many of them are 196 shitposting?

I don't wanna poo poo on this, but there are bots literally just scraping Reddit and reposting all of the content. Big grain of rice here, gents.

You love to see it. So much better here than Reddit, community-wise.

Happy to finally be able to login and post something 😀

What happened on June 21st? The API shutdown was on July 1st.

Rooting for you lemmy!

This is just perfect to see, and the change in communities and conversation is really noticeable

Add one more. This is also my first fediverse comment. I've been lurking for a bit, but finally signed up today.

The graphic seems to be like a wallstreetbets launch.

Hey! I helped do something! You’re wrong about being a 50 year old dead beat mom and dad!

…when’s lunch?

We done did it, doin it out here, big things, wildin, etc.. Seriously though, I'm happy to be a part of this as a recent redditfugee. I'm never going back. I miss r/emo, I miss r/oneyplays, I miss r/twosentencehorror, I miss all my saved posts and threads, but I'm not fucking around with Reddit on principle, and also as everyone here has been so kind and helpful. I was in a community that posted something about Lemmy being founded as an anti-corpo movement and that's cool as hell and aligns with how I am. So yes yes, I'm all in on exploring and growing this Undiscovered Country

That's pretty impressive. I hope it continues to grow. It would be nice if there was some way to mirror the content that gets posted on Reddit specifically the highly popular posts in news subreddits but otherwise I like it a lot.

This is exciting! Lemmy is so cool.

How many beans posts are among 1mil? That's the real question.

Just curious, does this include posts from kbin users to lemmy communities? I'd imagine it doesn't count posts to kbin magazines, since kbin is a different software altogether (maybe posts from lemmy users to kbin magazines count).

I was not a hardcore reddit user. I made just 2 or 3 posts in those few years I was using reddit. I was mainly reading posts and comments. I was using Sync for Reddit and there I noticed Sync is comming to Lemmy, I signed up to get notification when it's ready, but that's pretty much it. But today I wanted to browse reddit and I couldn't, and I didn't want to use official app, because it's just crap, so I registered on Lemmy, searched for Lemmy app, found Connect, installed it, tried it and I have to say I kinda like it. I really hope Lemmy grew up even more.

I could almost cry 😢 Toothpicks and rubber bands, your just like me, Lemmy.

What happened on 6/20? Hundreds of thousands where posted within a very short period.

.... Where are they? Besides a handful of posts I don't see much here.

That's an insane stat. As a Reddit immigrant, I would love to know the percentage of those who posted on Reddit and/or were mods, have migrated as well. That would correlate with the increase of posts in Lemmy, as well as the degredation of content on Reddit. Let's see how this goes.

A million posts and 6 million comments. Neat to see the change in servers 71 to 1400.

Das ist toll!

Very happy to see user engagement, its a very positive sign and will ultimately lead to downfall of reddit.

Poggers

Its good to see more competition again.

I wonder what the one millionth post was (hopefully something dumb)

Nostr and Lemmy, these are now my only social networks. No more corporate and government control.

Freedom!

Fun thing is a lot of the seeming Zuck fans are driving this recent spike, with the federation debates. The engagement is spiking our value, which some of the smarter ones probably know and are doing on purpose.

Keep arguing, internet, keep arguing.

I'm doing my part!

Since the 30th I've stopped going on reddit, but I must admit I still don't participate here as much because the content I'm seeing it's not as tailored to my interests as I'd like. Searching for communities tends to show a lot of communities with no participation at all, which is useless.

Also wished there was a video player. Being constantly redirected to youtube is a bit annoying.

But I'm very happy with Memmy for Lemmy. Not as polished as Apollo, but close enough. And Lemmy feels freer from bot/ai/ad content, and that is worth gold.

Any confirmation that these are not bot posts?

Still seeing the lil dip when all the apps went dark. Everyone went to say goodbye…🥺🥺🥺

All hail the Fediverse.

The more the merrier! 🥳

Worth noting that Hexbear.net has 274,000 posts but isn't included in this data because it's not federated. Unless that jump on the 21st of June is it. Would be funny that Hexbear is more than 25% of the posts singlehandedly.

And we’re all a part of that!

Thanks Steve Huffman!

Lets gooo!

Wow. Let's keep it up y'all!

I was a bit surprised myself. I’m a lurker on reddit but addicted to lemmy. Can’t explain it. But I’m glad I’m here to witness this. :)

Posting here in hopes for free tshirts

I've found my feed really picking up the past two weeks. Plenty of decent content to consume which is great.
Nice growth.

as in, actual post originating from people using a lemmy based instance, or all fediverse ActivityPub entrances?

I'm happy to have contributed an entire 0.001% of the posts on this platform

Woooo look at us go!

Glad to see Lemmy and the rest of the fediverse growing!

I find it interesting that it dipped on July 1st. I suppose the server issues were pretty bad.

I was there, 3000 years ago \o/

Unfortunately it's only 6 posts that aren't about lemmy or reddit.

Left reddit for good when boost started acting up, leaving comment to look back on in the future.

If you're unsure, just post. It's fine.

How many of those are Bean memes?

This is so exciting seeing something new grow before our eyes!

Congratulations! Hopefully a billion will come soon (;

That's quite impressive. I hope it keeps growing

That's quite a jump

Proud to be a small part of that :)

this chart just looks fantastic - i hope for the best

Reddit said I could only use their official app. But we all know its not very well done. The simplicity of reddit became to stressful and complicated.

what a turntable

87% shitposts I bet lol

But really, that’s a cool landmark.

Yay! I'm a happy bangwagoner :)

how about post by bots?

LFG team!

The graph not starting at 0 makes this a bit deceiving at first glance.

Dang

Btw what's with those two dips in the past few days, deleted spam?

Let the Lemmy flow

1 million per day too

insert more initialD gas gas gas

It will be interesting to see how this graph develops in the following months!

Does this include comments or strictly posts?

I played around with Friendica years ago, it wasn't at the time much to get into. The idea was to setup a Facebook like server that we could use for our family only. Ended up tearing that instance down as we didn't really like it at the time. I'm really excited about Lemmy though, so much so I again, went and setup my own corner of the lemmy-verse. The ideals this is built upon are the ideals that grabbed me into the internet so long ago, freedom and resiliency and the ability to discover something new, not have some algorithm throw it at you. I look forward to seeing this platform continue to grow and being a more active participant in it. Go LEMMY!

That's crazy

Yayyy!!!

Went to /all -> top post of all -> end up here

Love to see it

FK yeah!

Dope! Let's go!

Absolutely astounding. Memmy for Lemmy certainly lead the way for me. iOS app.

Sweet keep them coming!

Hi mom

And 90% of them have been bitching about reddit, talking about reddit, or asking how we can make the fediverse more like reddit. I'd love to contribute more, but there is honestly very little in the way of content here outside of the reddit exodus, besides basic memes and nsfw bullshit pages which are already getting flooded with bots selling OnlyFans subs. People have talked about how much higher quality the posts are here, but I don't see it at all.
