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!
Welcome new reddit expats!
Joined yesterday day. It's a bit of a learning curve and requires some time to rebuild my "front page". I'm enjoying it so far, haven't stepped foot on Reddit once since then besides my muscle memory launching bacon reader a few times.
Honestly, its already a good amount of content. People reply, people upvote, people post interesting articles. Its filling the void for me already.
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!
Honestly, I didn't believe this would happen. I thought all who wanted to migrate have done this already and there would be maybe a couple hundred people joining us today. I'm glad I was wrong. Gives me hope in people of the Internet standing up for what they deserve.
I didn't do it till last minute cause I'm lazy and hate creating accounts for every little thing these days (though I definitely prefer a new account than login with Google or whatnot). However I loved Reddit is Fun and the CEO has made some less than satisfactory decisions so it was time to pull up stakes and move on, again, though 15 years since the Digg move it had it's time, now for something else. I thought it was amusing I didn't even realize spez was the CEO till this recent but, I just always saw him posting but never commenting so I ignored him years ago. Figure you should do more than spam links on these sites.
Oh damn, I remember people saying that everybody interested in Lemmy already joined by now. I'm really curious how things will look one week from now
Used to be a long time Reddit lurker, but I feel as if this migration for me is giving me the chance to start afresh, and be a bigger part of this new community!
Both twitter, and reddit (maybe twitch and youtube) going to shit is perfect timing
Someone should post this in r/UpliftingNews
Exciting to see it growing!
Glad to be here and be a part of the community! It's unfortunate Reddit is going the way of Digg, but definitely looking forward to watching Lemmy grow and develop.
Well, sorry for saying this folks, but I regret having deleted my Reddit account...
... before editing all my comments to point to Lemmy.
