Wanna get more ppl on Lemmy?

Just show them the dope apps like sync. The web interface low key sucked at the start and almost drove me away.

I will say unlike Reddit I find the best experience on here tends to be sorting posts by newest comments so that way discussion pushes things to the front of my page. There's still too little content for sorting things by Top in various different communities to be worth the time. I suppose this turns it into more of an old-school forum homepage in a way.

Lets be fair, Steve Huffman did most of the work to make Lemmy so popular.

Shout out to the old r/jailbait mod for making in happen!

I'm fairly sure that the admins of lemmy.world said that we could expect a big spike in active users after the upgrade to 1.19 due to a change in how active users are calculated. I can't seem to find the post now, though.

The network effect is compounded by all the other applications that interop with Lemmy, ActivityPub apps sure but more so KBin and MBin and others that provide a similar service to Lemmy.

Part of it could be that people post less during the holidays and there is a significant portion of people who browse sites like reddit/Lemmy during their downtime at work.

I think Lemmy is a good foothold for activitypub. Reddit has been going to shit for some time and their userbase is tech savvy enough to actually migrate to something like Lemmy in significant enough numbers for it to matter.

I can only hope it continues to grow like this

Reddit making all third party apps a PAID service after releasing the paid API, and its first party app being total AD oriented instead of user orientef sure helped!

If you were in reality a bot, are you confident that you would know?

.ml needs to start handing out more petty bans to tamp down the enthusiasm again.

[–] Icy@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

As long there is content, I'll be here. Think same goes for others.
