We had a good run, thank you everyone

I am fine with the place settling for a bit. It would suck if this place was as big as other sites are overnight. I want to watch this place grow over time

Commenting so I have commented in July.

Buy the dip!!!

Sorry I was busy this weekend.

So Long And Thanks For All The Fish 🐟

Meanwhile, Threads is stronger than ever. Try Threads today!

That is probably my fault, I'm cursed and the moment I ever join any organization or community, something invariably always happens.

R.I.P Lemmy, probably my fault 😢

Well, I deleted my account, so there is no going back to reddit. Also discussions here seem better for me for some reason.

Ah well...

Se you guys on..

on...

uhh, Lemmy?

Chill man. Even my activity is dropping now, but that's just me thinking that Lemmy will be self-sufficient while I read my books. It's true that Lemmy is not as addicting as reddit, but that's for the best. I've actually gotten into new hobbies whose communities I might eventually join here.

Nooo my investments!!!

Don't worry, I'm here to stay ^_

Buh....But I like it here. No toxicity and genuine discussions. Also fuck u/spez.

Ah I see you work in my work places wage and bonus calculation department.

I honestly was worried about our growth maybe 3 weeks ago... It seemed there was a boom and then sort of an exhale after that initial rush in early June. However I'm subbed to about 130 communities. My feed is nice and busy where I couldn't even chance to see all the content. I can look through my sub list (LemmyTools addon plug) and catch up on some comms I missed in my feed. It's going great now as we are seeing steadily more upvoted posts (in the ks) now. Memes are off the charts. Tech and News seems to be hot. Im not super stitious well, maybe a little situous but I think things are going well and seeing a good base here form.

There will need to be some sort of stale/abandoned community cleanup or filter eventually though.

Bot purge or server issues?

See you guys on the next trendy platform!

As a cheapskate selfhoster who can only afford a few gigabytes of storage, It may come to a point where 30GB would not be enough to host the entire post history of the lemmy fediverse once user activity rises, and only those with deep pockets would be able to host archives of lemmy posts, just like usenet servers.

For me it still feels a lot more silent than in the old reddit world. Nonetheless I enjoy the content here more than I did in the end of using reddit 🤷‍♂️

the memes communities are alive, that's all that matters

I personally miss understood the fedivers and had multiple accounts on different instances. Currently I am only using one. I guess that is part of the dip.

LOL this reminds me of the numerous news articles that kept saying how Mastodon wouldn't scale and how it would never take off. The most ridiculous one: "Mastodon is crumbling". (We're over 13 million users right now.)

What's with this meme format having repeated words at the end of the first line and beginning of the second. It happens so frequently it surely can't just be inattention.

Quality content over quantity

honestly, even i went off of lemmy for a bit, not because i dont like lemmy, but because every time i reloaded the page, it would sign me out, and i couldn't save any settings, it seems to be happening across most lemmy instances right now

I think the moment a decent app becomes available, or Spez does something else fucking stupid, active users are gonna skyrocket again.

I liked Lemmy a little bit more before the July 1st influx. Not because of the people, but because there is now more ‘popular’ content that has resulted in less niche content. I’ve subscribed to so many communities that I don’t even see comments from many of the smaller ones because the larger ones dominate the feed.

Ooh no!

Anyways....

Aw man, and I just got here!

Might have something to do with everyone getting logged out of their accounts after the hack. I have been browsing but not logged in until just now

Beans are killing lemmy stop beansss

So long and thanks for all the fish!

It was fun while it lasted

Well some people start communities but are not up to task. There should be a well developed rules/about community page. I have seen just create a community post links and do very little to build engagement.

People are gonna look and leave if a community has like 10 members a new thread with a few replies every two to three days and links.

When I get a little time I will be creating a community. Either way level of engagement will take time to build but lackadasial community creaters add to the build time.

I remember the good old 4chan days when every 3rd post was about how "this is the cancer that is killing /b/" ...

Which in hindsight was not wrong. It's a husk of what it was. I fought with many a /b/tard in the great Tumblr wars. It was remnant of a more wild age, before the summer posters, before the psyops.

Aww maaaaan. It was good while it lasted. OK, how about resurrecting MySpace? Call it something like Mice Pace

I haven't been on Lemmy in a few days because I can't even login on their website. Broke down and downloaded an app through play store so I could login to comment. I was waiting for Boost for Lemmy, but I guess fate had other plans.

I was playing Outer Worlds

It feels like it is.

Most communities have no posts for days. I’m constantly logged out of my instance. Voting on something fails 80% of the time…

if lemmy is dying, so does threads

that website does this all the time, check it again tomorrow and it'll be a vertical line again.

That's OK. Those are just people from the influx. Eventually it will stabilize and start growing again. Gradual growth is the best way to build upon a solid foundation.

well bye

It's not dying but also not blooming.

Well it was great while it lasted...

/s

as instances get overcrowded site slows which drives traffic to other instances. I could care less about collecting old posts. travel light, have fun

Are these real stats? Or just a directional commentary that Lemmy is growing? If they are real, where can we see these?

Lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world does not immediately imply credibility.

Alright pack it up guys. Let's go back to Reddit. /s

Here’s my July comment. It’s been a struggle getting used to lemmy but it’s still pretty early and I think I’m soo mad at Reddit that I being a lurker have decided to be more active and post more. It might take close to an year or so for more posts to show up and fill the communities so be patient and cut them some slack.
