Fediverse

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

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!

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 feel like when I browse All I still just see the same 20 posts

We all need to post this on reddit. Spread the word that this platform is booming and more people will come over!

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

Just joined. Can't wait for Boost for Lemmy

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.

Leaving a comment to say I was here in the making of internet 3.0

We did it Lemmy! We've reached an arbitrary number of posts.

It's been really cool witnessing the activity of this place grow.

Lemmy feels like Reddit 10-15 years ago, which is great.

Finally made the switch, looking forward to doom scrolling here :)

Invest! Invest! Oh wait, I’m glad that’s not the point here ;)

I'm not saying it's because of beans, but it's probably because of beans.

Really glad I get to witness history in the making. This is definitely the future and stoked to see it growing so quickly.

Wow, over 4K. This might be the most upvoted post yet.

What happened June 21st? It's the first exponential growth and it's also when I made my account, but I don't remember what was the trigger to finally make an account.

Edit: I think it's when they started trying to force subreddits back open: https://www.reddit.com/r/ModCoord/comments/14ffsk8/reddit_is_a_bully/

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.

I love it here.

(I wonder if they’re getting worried yet.)

I did my part. Made a post here, never did on reddit in ten years.

How many of them are 196 shitposting?

I don't wanna poo poo on this, but there are bots literally just scraping Reddit and reposting all of the content. Big grain of rice here, gents.

That is one beautiful graph!

Lemmy feels cozy. Reddit feels unpleasant

You can absolutely feel how much bigger it got, and it feels more and more populated every day.

I've been here only one week and the change has been so obvious.

Happy to finally be able to login and post something 😀
