I don’t think that’s accurate. I something funny is going on with kbin that is causing fedidb to see one instance as two separate instances. So this number is about 50k too high.
Also, if I may be a little realistically pessimistic, for those hoping for continued growth. These things tend to happen in waves with deflations in between. It seems the Reddit wave has come to an end, and some drop in numbers might happen over the next few weeks or months. It’s natural, and I wouldn’t be dismayed by it at all. Events like the migration cause curiosity in some people who don’t settle. It’s fine.
Who knows what will happen going forward, Reddit it seems is still doing it’s bullshit it seems. But if you like it here, there’s plenty to focus on here to make this place happen. And we don’t need to worry too much about whether Reddit a dying or who’s winning.
When I used Lemmy before the reddit exodus, it was getting like 12 updoots on the front page. I've noticed a hugeee difference, this post getting over 1.2k+ upvotes for example. Content is a lot more exciting. Haven't touched Reddit in like 3 weeks now.
I've been full RSS reader, Mastodon, and Lemmy. It feels good.
We keep hitting milestones!
Excellent news
We did it Lemmy!
Amazing to see, as I look further into these platforms such as Lemmy and Mastodon I love them more and more as they seem to be so much more freeing than current mainstream platforms on the market.
So guys we did it, we reached a half of a million subscribers!
reddit asked for it themselves :)
Hope it continues and that it's not all bots and multiple accounts.
Lemmy, it's a new Reddit !
ITT hipsters

Noice!
Oop let's go. Slow and steady!
