Lemmy.world grew from around 51000 total users the moment 3rd party reddit apps started to shut down on June 30 to 71000 total users at the time of this post (July 1). That's a 40% growth in about 12 hours!

Honestly, its already a good amount of content. People reply, people upvote, people post interesting articles. Its filling the void for me already.

I love exploring all the communities. It's been a fun ride so far and a super positive experience!

[-] Atromnis@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Holy shit, are you really u/PoppinKREAM? If so, it's an honor, sir.

[-] Ryumast3r@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

You better not be fooling me.

Feel free to check out my comment history to compare. Not sure how else to prove it, sorry :S

WOW. amazing.

This really feels like old reddit. The glory days.

This is what reddit doesn't get when they say it's only a small fraction of users who left.

Redditors aren't created equally. The vast majority lurk and maybe don't even upvote.

You put in more work than a lot of professional journalists, and provided the content for free

Glad you're here, a devastating blow to reddit if this is where you live now! Welcome!

Totally agree. I stopped using Apollo 2 weeks ago to get myself adjusted early but felt like there was something missing each day.

Using Lemmy right now really feels like that void has now been filled.

If you used Apollo before, I think you should definitely try WefWef app in browser (wefwef.app zite), it is incredible!

Cheers. I’ve placed it where Apollo used to be on my homepage. Its almost indistinguishable.

Yeah, wefwef is really cool.
