Lemmy active users grew by an astounding 1600% in June (lemmy.world)

From 2,997 active users across all lemmy instances at the beginning of June, the number increased to 52,797 by June 30th. Source.

An active user on Lemmy is "someone who has posted or commented on our instance or community within the last given time frame.” Source. That means lurkers are not counted as active users. There are currently almost 200k total users spread across the top 10 non-bot lemmy instances.

We're really building something here!

Curious to see the July numbers.. :o

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I think a lot of people waited until the Reddit apps were actually killed before making the switch (myself included).

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

Aye

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

That is pretty crazy. Good to see.

Came here after years of using RIF. It was a good ride, let's boost Lemmy.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Any idea what the best RIF-like client for Lemmy is? I'm trying one out called Connect for Lemmy. Seems fine but a little wonky.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I am so excited about what's going to happen for Lemmy, I was looking for a replacement for Reddit, and this fedverse seems to have so much potential!

Came here after hearing that Sync is being developed for this app! Can't wait to use it. Hoping this community will keep growing 💗

Getting used to things here. Signed up with a random instance. Trying to figure out if there is any benefit to signing up with a particular instance, and if it's worth exploring for a better/closer instance to sign up with.

The benefit of having an account on lemmy.world is the amount of content already available on the site. But once you understand how federation works, it doesn’t matter much because you can subscribe to communities on other instances using the same account.

I’m on lemmy.world partly because it’s run a team of experienced admins, so uptime has been great (once we’re past this reddit influx).

"But once you understand how federation works, it doesn’t matter much because you can subscribe to communities on other instances using the same account."

I'm obviously still figuring this out, but this doesn't appear to be completely true, depending on the community. I subscribed to a community on another instance and the content isn't the same when I visit it from this instance.

I made a post on that thread https://lemmy.world/comment/690842

RIP RIF 😭

First Post on here.

RIP RIF.

So incredibly sad, but hoping lemmy can be something special in its own right.

Using Connect for Lemmy and like what I've seen so far.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Former RiF user here. Connect for Lemmy is my favorite so far. I hope to see a LiF in the future.
