Lemmy feels cozy. Reddit feels unpleasant
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.
Still seeing the lil dip when all the apps went dark. Everyone went to say goodbye…🥺🥺🥺
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!
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
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
Leaving a comment to say I was here in the making of internet 3.0
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).

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.
Great! I was a bit sceptical about the new users grow in the past weeks, but I think this information is more reliable
You can tell there are more users by the number of the top up voted threads. Some are in the 1000s votes and a lot in the 100s. Wasn't that high before.
And the comment threads! You can find posts with multiple comment threads usually several comments deep!

What happened on June 21st? The API shutdown was on July 1st.
I don't think I was that early, but I made my account about a week before the 3rd party shutdown. I'd imagine a bunch of others did too.
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 was there, 3000 years ago \o/
Lets gooo!
