I actually like the interface a LOT better than (old) Reddit. I refused to use the new interface because "yuck!" and old.reddit.com doesn't have a "dark mode," so I view this as an upgrade, visually (along with other UX aspects). I'm definitely sticking!
RES has (had?) a dark mode for old reddit.
yep it does. RES was such a great addon made by such cool people. Cant wait to see the kind of things those people are making for Lemmy.
Someones already made a browser extension that simplifies hyperlinking to other instanceβs communities across the Lemmyverse.
I expect an even larger jump when on July 1s and onwards, that is where a lot of growth will come from.
This. Like the apps are still there functioning. I uninstalled Boost and Apollo as my thumb kept clicking on them...
Its now at, um, Users: 112113.5
who is the .5?
I have one leg mb
consider this my half comment to try and ba..
Musk has a Lemmy account?
This is amazing news. Iβm thinking weβve reached critical mass where itβs going to be self sustaining and worth using.
Don't forget us kbin users too! We're all in the same boat now
kbin.social still isn't federating, right? I wasn't able to access communities @kbin.social from Lemmy
Indeed! That's the beautiful thing about this whole decentralised magic. You can use the app (not just mobile app) that best suits you and your interests, and interact with anyone, anywhere.
It's wonderful honestly.
it warms my heart to see so many people slowly figuring this out. This is what the internet was meant to be all along.
Might be a dumb question, but I don't see how I can interact with Kbin from Lemmy.
If I search for communities, I can see ones from other instances but not any from Kbin.
On kbin.social specifically, federation is currently broken. The server saw a lot of stress because of the influx of new users and the dev turned on the cloudflare check, so that instance won't kneel down. That broke the federation, other instances cannot go through that check.
Really impressive! Also the overall vibe is super positive. Hope it keeps growing. There is a lot of potential.
As one of those new users, I'm loving the potential of Lemmy and I'm enjoying finding my way around, but it definitely needs some UX enhancements, especially around federated communities.
Good to know! I expected that an influx of users would propel development, hopefully that momentum keeps up.
That's over 9000!
Nearly up to 20k new users in last 24 hours, itβs accelerating!
40 million more to go! \o/
Reddit wasnβt built in a day :)
Let's hope it falls within a day.
Very interesting. Anyone know why there was a huge drop in Total users for Lemmy from Nov 3 to Nov 4, 2022?. Total users went from 55178 to 37901.
The great dying of Nov 3rd ofc
Never forget.
Not to be confused with the second great dying of Nov 4th.
I mean we are called Lemmings for a reason. You didn't get that memo?
I just joined today. Taking refuge from Reddit. I hope this community builds up!
I haven't used Reddit in years, but I moved here because my brother, a regular Redditor, informed me of this neat alternative and I felt like checking it out. Hopefully many are doing the same. Otherwise I lurk in old-school forums. I prefer the Reddit model though, so I quite like this Fediverse.
the community over on reddit saw the shape that shit's gonna turn next month and now we're all scattering and looking for places to land. this platform is close enough to what we came from that heaps of us are landing here.
this is the busiest instance, by the way. not sure about other people but i'm maintaining an account on this instance separate to my primary account simply because i can access stuff faster from here
We are at 5k monthly active users. I find that stat more interesting.
Here are some of the monthly active user statistics for various social media platforms, according to the search results:
It's worth noting that these numbers are subject to change and may vary depending on the source. Additionally, there are many other social media platforms with significant user bases that are not listed here. When choosing which social media platforms to use for your brand, it's important to consider the relevance to your target audience and the quality of engagement on each platform, rather than just the number of users.

Oh boy! There is such a huge ammount of fediverse services... By the way, WTF is Misskey? And how is has 1M users?
Edit: typos
Misskey looks a lot like a federated Twitter alternative, kinda like Mastodon. It seems to be Chinese, which might be why most of us have never heard of it and why it has so many users.
@SuperIce @domage
Misskey is a Japanese twitter-like. Itβs actually older than mastodon and very popular in Japan specifically. They have custom emoji reactions under posts, they have animation and advanced markdown, they can have cat ears on their profile pictures, THEY HAVE QUOTE REPOST, chat, advanced search features, etc.
Misskey have been forked multiple times (foudkey, calckey, etc.) and those forks are more popular in English-speaking communities.
Five of those were from me. Hedging my bets across multiple instances. Can't imagine I'm the only one?
I love being a part of stuff like this.
It took reddit years and years to get to what it is today (well ... a week ago), and I'm excited to be a part of something like that again.
Not gonna lie in the last 3 days I've commented and had good engagement than I've had for months on Reddit. Also day 3 with no reddit for me.
Where can I find these stats?
Here you go: [https://the-federation.info/platform/73]
Iβll update the main post with it too.
We're just getting started!
