Lemmy.nz here

I think it is cool that it is coming up on nearly 2 million across all ~1200 instances.

We should spread out across it, if the lemmy.world hack and the fact that its admins are even flirting with the idea of fedding with threads are any indication

More people, more posts, more POWER muahahahahahaha! Go Lemmy! Go Fediverse! ...sorry, I'm not adding anything other than cheers here.

Was vlemmy.net one of those before it, ah, went off to see Titanic?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I can't recall seeing it in the top 10 within the past month when I started tracking. It only had about 4500 users though.

Heck yeah! Let's go!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (17 children)

Of the top five, sh.itjust.works seems to be the best. Definitely the instance that I would recommend to new users.

Why is kbin never included in these breakdowns? Is it not "formally" considered lemmy or something of that sort?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Kbin is a link aggregator independent from Lemmy. It's like talking about Mastodon and Pleroma.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

But it makes sense to include it here since kbin and lemmy are both link-aggregators and both part of the fediverse. From lemmy.world you see beehaw.org in the same way as kbin.social. No important differences. Same can not be said about Mastodon.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The issue is that the page where the screenshot was taken from doesn't allow to list both Lemmy instances and Kbin instances at the same time. You need to take two screenshots to show both services, or to use another listing source that shows all services you want to be shown, and I don't know whether it exists or not.

Sometimes it is, say here:
https://fedidb.org/current-events/threadiverse
But you might as well say why isn't Mastodon included? Kbin is a fundamentally different platform and architecture, even if the two are largely compatible (as is Mastodon, to a slightly lesser extent with Lemmy).
It is perfectly reasonable to look at the growth of Lemmy, think of it like quoting use of one flavour of Linux - Linux uptake overall is also interesting, but not the same.

What did happen to reddit though? Everything seems to continue as it always has. I was using Joey for Reddit to browse it, ant that still works as far as I know

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

2000 upvotes on front page posts is what reddit had in ~2012, 2014 and by that point reddit was already one of my main time wasters

To them 200k users leaving is nothing and they aren't even all gone, most probably just use both now

But wait 4 years and lemmy might have become a painless viable alternative
