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

Not just number but quality. It was all memes at the start, now actual conversation is happening in more than just a few posts.
Good point! I’m hoping for some of the more niche communities to start becoming more active. Things are trending in the right direction though.
They will. My experience community building thus far is that if you can build up one anchor community to the point where people are organically sharing content and commenting, other adjacent communities will start to generate the same sorts of things with smaller subscriber bases because that anchor community is keeping people's eyes here. Just a question of time.
I'm usually a lurker, but I decided to just go ahead and make one that I was missing. Something about personally wanting Lemmy to grow is motivating to me.
I made an XCOM community on Lemmy.world, and even though I'm the only one posting so far, it's fun to watch the subscriber count grow. Already at 50!

You need both though. Memes and shitposts to scroll though and chuckle, and then quality stuff to engage on. Lemmys got that, and the momentum will keep it growing.
I tried lemmy like a year or so ago, and it felt so stale. The technology is there, but the content just wasn’t. That’s clearly changed now. 😊
The beans phase had me doubting the quality part for sure.
I assure you, the beans are of the highest quality.
The memes has been high quality though

It just definitely needed to hit a critical mass. Enough that people had enough to read, stick around, and post themselves. Which in turn created a place that new people felt had enough content.
This comment is so good it has -1 downvotes
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!
I literally only tried Lemmy because of the RIF goodbye message. I'm here because for me, Reddit was Reddit Is Fun.
All. My. Homies. Hate. Spez.

We all need to post this on reddit. Spread the word that this platform is booming and more people will come over!
Keep growing that number!
Went to /all -> top post of all -> end up here
Love to see it
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.
It's funny, because it's not even a very hard barrier of entry to overcome, just takes some patience, but it's apparently enough to keep a lot of low effort content out.
fuck spez?.... /s
Fuck spez for sure
Also I love your bio lol
@Paulius@lemmy.world Does it only count Lemmy's posts, or does it include other compatible plateforms, such as Mbin?
Looks like just posts from Lemmy instances. Now, are replies posts? I don't think so, I think it's original topics. But many replies from Lemmy users are going to be to outside sources, so there's a lot going on!
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.
Woooo look at us go!
Looking at the monthly active users on https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/stats it's interesting to see that Lemmy gained around 10k new MAUs this year until april and then lost around 10k again since then.
What caused Lemmy to recently have a big bump?
Did Reddit do something really stupid...again?
This post is 2 years old
It's been really cool witnessing the activity of this place grow.
Lemmy feels like Reddit 10-15 years ago, which is great.
Really glad I get to witness history in the making. This is definitely the future and stoked to see it growing so quickly.
Its good to see more competition again.
This is so exciting seeing something new grow before our eyes!
I could almost cry 😢 Toothpicks and rubber bands, your just like me, Lemmy.
