Lemmy Just Reached 1 Million Posts

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

Not just number but quality. It was all memes at the start, now actual conversation is happening in more than just a few posts.
- Good point! I’m hoping for some of the more niche communities to start becoming more active. Things are trending in the right direction though.
- You need both though. Memes and shitposts to scroll though and chuckle, and then quality stuff to engage on. Lemmys got that, and the momentum will keep it growing.
  I tried lemmy like a year or so ago, and it felt so stale. The technology is there, but the content just wasn’t. That’s clearly changed now. 😊
- The beans phase had me doubting the quality part for sure.
- BEANS
- Totally agree! I just have been a registered reader on Reddit. Now, it’s the first time I’m participating - might be considerably because lemmy is trending. Nevertheless, I found communities and post I’m interested in within minutes - 👌🏼 whereas Reddit was mostly clutter.
- The memes has been high quality though
- i posted like 10 per year on reddit and did around 30+ within a week on lemmy
- The memes were entertaining and it was content to attract users.
- We’ve had a good balance the past couple days. I like both.
- I actually blocked all the meme and shitpost communities because they were flooding my all feed and they aren't that interesting to me.
- I'd also expect another big jump when clients like Sync and Boost get their apps for Lemmy online. That will attract an enormous amount of users from reddit.
This comment is so good it has -1 downvotes
It just definitely needed to hit a critical mass. Enough that people had enough to read, stick around, and post themselves. Which in turn created a place that new people felt had enough content.
- It's also about search engine indexing. It's happening slowly, but I've noticed Lemmy posts are finally beginning to show up in Google/Bing search results. As this trend improves, more people will stumble here by accident and then join out of curiosity.
I thought I was gonna be able to quit Reddit full time. Didn’t look for a few days, then did. Still check since some niche communities aren’t over here (or active) yet so I have to go there. But I only still check every few days (I was a several time a day redditor so usage is down) and I’ll check Lemmy at least once or twice a day now.
- I quit Reddit cold turkey. I miss sports talk and some of the gaming and workout subreddits though.
- Yeah same, most communities i frequent on Reddit haven’t transitioned yet or is still tiny so I kinda juggle between the two apps.
  Lemmy is nice for tech and nerdy subreddits but that’s pretty much it rnow
- Same. Last night i went in and deleted all of my subscriptions except for the 3 i really want to keep checking in on.

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

Just don't post links. I tested it myself and they will shadow remove your comment.
- For real? Damn they are that desperate.
- I posted one yesterday on a major Subreddit. It did get a bit of hate. Couple of people signed up. Some of that hate seems to be bots, complaining that there’s no mobile app, and that it looks like old Reddit.
  I’ll keep monitoring, to see if it gets shadow removed. I bet a lot of the major subreddits are running on skeleton crews, so they can’t get everything.
- My shock. Its palpable.

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 literally only tried Lemmy because of the RIF goodbye message. I'm here because for me, Reddit was Reddit Is Fun.
- All. My. Homies. Hate. Spez.
- Same except for me its BoostforReddit.
- Same here, but for boost. I never heard of Lemmy until boost for Lemmy was announced.
- So hope e creater of RIF creates LIF.
- How tf did you make your name like that???
Did somebody say sync...
- Bro I CANNOT wait. Sync was the GOAT Reddit app and I know you'll do great with Lemmy. Glad to see you here.
- Sync was reddit for me. Such an amazing app. Now I am glad to be here for the next chapter. Thanks for all you do.
- I did. I'm excitedly waiting!
- /c/beetlejuicing
  I love how active you are as a developer in the community.
- Also here because Sync is dead. Desperately awaiting your Sync for Lemmy release. Was considering making a Sync-like Lemmy app if you didn't...
Reddit is 100% bot driven
- Reddit is spam driven. But people can also spam manually.
I'm super excited for all the development here. I'm looking forward for Boost for Lemmy, but I'm also really enjoying wefwef (soon to be Voyager) and the active development is really exciting to me.

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!

Reddit user of 12 years here. God I hope this place takes off like Voat was supposed to. Reddit has just changed so damn much. I was honestly sick of the place since before the crazy app meltdown.
- I've got high hopes for Lemmy, and the Fediverse in general. Voat's issue was it was a haven for fascists and fascist sympathizers, and a centralized site made that the general vibe. The federated model makes it so they can do what they want in their own little corner of shit, and the rest of us can ignore them like they deserve.
- I think there's a decent chance it will. At the bare minimum, it already feels much better to me than voat ever did.
- The only issue I have right now is that reddit is a good source of technical answers. Kind of like SE without the dismissive, condescending douchebag attitude that seems to be automatic there. Every single time it sounds like they are replying to someone that is actively bothering them. Like dude, you came on the website, checked the forums, and decided to answer. I didn't send you a text or some shit.
I wonder what the first topic of Mondays meeting at Reddit HQ will be? And if the overall feeling is gonna be positive or negative? Oh I wonder.
- Reddit seems like the type of company where nobody dares to tell the CEO about any negative developments.
Let's not look back on reddit with rose tinted glasses.
Much of it was always a dumpster fire.
Yep, I agree. I miss those days of Reddit
- Same here.

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

The default "Active" sort option does that. Try "Hot" instead.
- Thank you. I have so many engrained habits from Reddit that I'm not using Lemmy to its potential.
- Try "sexy"
- Oh, wow! Until now I just assumed that you just need to wait longer to see new stuff, but this actually changes quite a lot. Thanks!
- I still don't get why Lemmy instances don't default to "Hot". Kbin does it right by going with "Hot" as default. All "Active" does is dog pile on posts that are almost a day old, sometimes even older than that.
  You know what, what's even the point of "Active" at this point with so many active users?
- It just show dead threads instead it seems

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

I just switched over for good the other day when Boost stopped working and I honestly can't say I miss it too much. Still working on getting my feed how I'd like it but the more people join the easier it'll be.
- Yeah some topics are a bit tough with loads of communities spread across different instances/servers. But overall it's alright.
Hey I like you're name that's a great idea
I closed my subs on the 12th - Re-opened on the 14th. polled redditors if i should stay shut or open, They said close until reddit backs off. shut it down again. then deleted my account after the first verge article came out about u/spez saying this blackout will pass and everything will be back to normal and some other stuff. i knew then he wouldn't change!

This is reminiscent of when I was first on Hotmail back in the 90's. I remember getting an email from the Hotmail team when they first hit a million subscribers.... They were bought out by Microsoft within the year.... My username is my original Hotmail address.

The days of 20-25 MB of storage 😂
- It was plenty back then....

Just joined. Can't wait for Boost for Lemmy

We all can be very proud.

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.

I’ve been here since mid June and have made 264 posts,
I have almost 300 comments over three weeks now. I actually had Lemmy bookmarked for some time, but started participating after giving Reddit the punt. That's way higher post frequency than before. Yeah it's great feeling like you can say reasonable stuff without coming under attack.
- Exactly! Things like "Hitler did nothing wrong"
Niceness fosters niceness. Glad we have a bunch of like-minded folk.
I know what you mean within seconds my post would be downvoted. Its either a downvote bot or a rude moderator. Lemmy is a breath of fresh air.
You're doing an incredible job. Keep going :).
- You too, random citizen!
People still are arguing for downvotes here on Lemmy. I think they are poison to a good community. They are not helping to moderate - they are silencing opinions and creating echo chambers.
- My philosophy on downvotes:
  If I don't agree with someone here, I upvote anyway. Not because I'm a Pollyanna, but because I'm happy they're here and supporting Lemmy by posting and commenting. I really want Lemmy to stay up and stable for a long time and provide what Reddit used to provide for the wider community. Reddit still does, but hopefully we can too. I'm talking about political and health issues.
  If it's a mean comment, I do nothing and move on.
  If something is just messed up, that's a message for the mods. I've messaged once so far. Someone posted information about a person (image and real-life contact info) and said they were performing cosmetic surgery on puppies. The image was of the person flipping the bird, so it was clearly made as a hit piece. Mods got rid of it within a day.
- I was a bit baffled by your post because it seemed odd, but it's the second time today I've encountered someone mentioning it. It appears that lemmy.today is a no-dv instance; I presume it's a server switch option. The rest of the instances I'm on all have up/down voting, and kbin, of course, has boost/up/down. Not that there's anything wrong with it but, just so you know, it's a feature of your instance and not lemmy-wide.
- I think they theoretically can be used well, and I've tried to be more reserved in how I use them here on Lemmy, but I agree often times they can become culturally toxic. I'm glad Lemmy has a better culture so far, we're really building something great here I think.
- Maybe, but it didn't help with youtube. I'm giving a respectful downvote to you because I think I disagree

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

Great! I was a bit sceptical about the new users grow in the past weeks, but I think this information is more reliable

You can tell there are more users by the number of the top up voted threads. Some are in the 1000s votes and a lot in the 100s. Wasn't that high before.
- And the comment threads! You can find posts with multiple comment threads usually several comments deep!
- Also, check out the communities page on lemmy.world. A couple of weeks ago, the biggest communities had 1-2k subscribers and now many are over ~~10k~~ 20k.
So much of that steep was beans lmao
- Nonsense, Lemmy's come a long way. We used to be hung up complaining about Reddit... but now we complain about Facebook.
- Bean posting

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

I like that! Nice to see people “voting with their feet” as they leave Reddit.
Good idea! Here's my comment to do the same.
Let's hope it's true.
Here for posterity! Onwards and upwards lemmy!
Samesies!!

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

This is posts per day? The image makes it seem like so, the title not so much. 1 million posts per day and growing is a huge thing if so

Looks like the title is incorrect, and it's actually posts per day. At least, the graph shows a few days where the number goes down, so it can't be just the total number of posts (unless there was a wave of deletions outpacing the posts).
Edit: according to other people's comments, it is actually total posts, not posts per day. So my above comment seems to be incorrect.
- The dips in the graph could be caused by some of the servers/instances going offline, post deletions, or a combination of both.
its total by day the dip is deletion
- Or botted contents going, or instances going offline. I'm pretty sure it's total. I think world and ml have around 500k posts. There is no way it can be a daily contents when those 2 are the most active.
It's total
I think it's total posts. If you look at the list of instances and posts at the bottom it matches closer to total posts:
https://the-federation.info/platform/73
It's still epic and growing both in quality and activity, but it's still got a long way to grow. I feel optimistic. :)

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

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

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.

It's funny, because it's not even a very hard barrier of entry to overcome, just takes some patience, but it's apparently enough to keep a lot of low effort content out.
- If people didn't choose the easy route when given the option, North America would not be suffering from an obesity epidemic. Why make something healthy and time consuming when fast food is so conveniently available?

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

THIS. IS. SOCIALISM!
As social networking should be.

calls on lemmy, puts on reddit

Holy fucking shit that's insane. What's wild is, if I understand it correctly, that's basically linear with how many users have joined, meaning people are posting more than ever before (on a per user basis).

It feels like it is possible to have a conversation here. In Reddit I felt like my comments were getting buried
- I don't have anything else to add, just wanted to feel included
- After moderating a bigger subreddit and seeing just how much spam there was in the comments and just how many people spend time replying to these bots I basically stopped reading them. Here I haven't see bots yet and at least my home instance watches out that it stays that way.
- Agree. Even if you post a top level comment you are likely to get a response and start a conversation.
- Filtering by rising and posting meta jokes was the standard if you wanted to get seen and interacted with.
  Here you can just make a decently thought out comment and most of the time get at least one reply by the end of the day.
- Agreed. Because it's relatively smaller it feels more like a community than some of the huge subreddits
- Most of the time yes, but some of the ol reddit habits are popping up from time to time. Nuance discussion on difficult topics is still difficult
- On the large subs it was that but so much on niche subs like AndroidApps.
I think pioneers are more likely to post than late followers.
- You are correct. The first group of people to join is usually the most active because they believe in the project.

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

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

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/

Just 2 days after iamthatis exposed Reddit's bullshit about Apollo
- Literally the reason I ditched my account
Was that also the day Sync for Lemmy was announced?

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

I have definitely made more posts here in the month I have been here than I did on reddit in 8 years. They are mostly of my cat (and help posts on !selfhosted@lemmy.world and such).

I love it here.

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

How many of them are 196 shitposting?

Lemme celebrate

Lemmy celebrate!
- Lemm.ee celebrate

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.

Lemmy feels cozy. Reddit feels unpleasant

That is one beautiful graph!

I'd like to see the logistic version as well!
- You mean logarithmic? It wouldn't look as good at first but maybe over time the line will become at least linear, hopefully.

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.

Happy to finally be able to login and post something 😀

You love to see it. So much better here than Reddit, community-wise.

Rooting for you lemmy!

What happened on June 21st? The API shutdown was on July 1st.

i think some migrated early
- I came during the blackout and planned to go back afterwards. I committed to staying when spez opened his mouth.
It was around the days when spez goons started threatening moderators to open their subs
Some preemptively moved over in a transition period maybe?
It was clear around then that we might as well jump ship. No reason to wait to the last minute... I was ready to de-reddit and not go there any more.
Was that around the time of the spez AMA? Maybe that was a tipping point for a lot of people - the various protests had been completely ignored and admins tripled-down.
I don't think I was that early, but I made my account about a week before the 3rd party shutdown. I'd imagine a bunch of others did too.
The news broke before July 1st

Add one more. This is also my first fediverse comment. I've been lurking for a bit, but finally signed up today.

Welcome to the community. I hope you enjoy your time here, I know I have!

This is just perfect to see, and the change in communities and conversation is really noticeable

The graphic seems to be like a wallstreetbets launch.

Hey! I helped do something! You’re wrong about being a 50 year old dead beat mom and dad!

…when’s lunch?

We done did it, doin it out here, big things, wildin, etc.. Seriously though, I'm happy to be a part of this as a recent redditfugee. I'm never going back. I miss r/emo, I miss r/oneyplays, I miss r/twosentencehorror, I miss all my saved posts and threads, but I'm not fucking around with Reddit on principle, and also as everyone here has been so kind and helpful. I was in a community that posted something about Lemmy being founded as an anti-corpo movement and that's cool as hell and aligns with how I am. So yes yes, I'm all in on exploring and growing this Undiscovered Country

This is exciting! Lemmy is so cool.

That's pretty impressive. I hope it continues to grow. It would be nice if there was some way to mirror the content that gets posted on Reddit specifically the highly popular posts in news subreddits but otherwise I like it a lot.

I could almost cry 😢 Toothpicks and rubber bands, your just like me, Lemmy.

How many beans posts are among 1mil? That's the real question.

Just curious, does this include posts from kbin users to lemmy communities? I'd imagine it doesn't count posts to kbin magazines, since kbin is a different software altogether (maybe posts from lemmy users to kbin magazines count).

Idk, it depends on how the information was gathered. because kbin is intercompatible with Lemmy I'd say there's a higher chance than not if they used ActivityPub directly to get the results.
Lemmy / kbin have their own APIs, alongside the ActivityPub API so it depends on which were used and how they searched for these metrics.

That's an insane stat. As a Reddit immigrant, I would love to know the percentage of those who posted on Reddit and/or were mods, have migrated as well. That would correlate with the increase of posts in Lemmy, as well as the degredation of content on Reddit. Let's see how this goes.

Its good to see more competition again.

It's a game to me to find other users from the same instance. Hello fellow lemmy.ca user!

A million posts and 6 million comments. Neat to see the change in servers 71 to 1400.

Out of curiosity, do gifs work on here?
- that first one loaded
At the moment, I'm guessing gif support depends on the individual client app, probably? On Connect it shows up as a link, which opens the gif rather than it being embedded.

I was not a hardcore reddit user. I made just 2 or 3 posts in those few years I was using reddit. I was mainly reading posts and comments. I was using Sync for Reddit and there I noticed Sync is comming to Lemmy, I signed up to get notification when it's ready, but that's pretty much it. But today I wanted to browse reddit and I couldn't, and I didn't want to use official app, because it's just crap, so I registered on Lemmy, searched for Lemmy app, found Connect, installed it, tried it and I have to say I kinda like it. I really hope Lemmy grew up even more.

What happened on 6/20? Hundreds of thousands where posted within a very short period.

Sync coming to Lemmy was announced on the 20th. I was on Kbin, but I came over here when I saw that, so maybe that was a wee push?
I'd say probably the users leaving reddit due to the api changes. Iirc around the 20th was when spez did an AMA about the changes and made PR exponentially worse by using canned responses, throwing subtle insults here and there and ignoring the big questions in favor of what he'd already had his PR team write a response for. It was more rage inducing than the initial api change announcement.
I could be completely wrong though maybe that wasn't on the 20th but feels like it was in my head canon
It's s daily average, not total
Was that when we weren't pooping?

Nostr and Lemmy, these are now my only social networks. No more corporate and government control.

Freedom!

Poggers

Still seeing the lil dip when all the apps went dark. Everyone went to say goodbye…🥺🥺🥺

Same here, boost has been working the whole time, think it only went down this morning which is fine because I feel disgusted with myself Everytime I check my account. They've removed most of the mods that protested and actually gave somewhat of a shit and replaced them with people that don't care about any of that and just wanted to mod. Spez might have had to take the protests a teeny bit more seriously if he didn't have these new spineless mods to replace the old ones which is proven by the fact that he forcibly removed so many in the first place. So I feel icky when viewing any of those subs. Also yeah, he fucked over so many handicapped users removing their preferred 3pa. I know, "but accessibility features are excluded now" - but those that already had their acc. And preferred 3pa set up the way they like it will now have to figure that out which imo would be hard while blind..
Anyway I can't wait for Boost to come here, that's always been my preferred 3pa and if he'd hurry up and port it to Lemmy I'd feel complete again
Yeah, still works but without nsfw content
it's a BIG NOPE for me

Since the 30th I've stopped going on reddit, but I must admit I still don't participate here as much because the content I'm seeing it's not as tailored to my interests as I'd like. Searching for communities tends to show a lot of communities with no participation at all, which is useless.

Also wished there was a video player. Being constantly redirected to youtube is a bit annoying.

But I'm very happy with Memmy for Lemmy. Not as polished as Apollo, but close enough. And Lemmy feels freer from bot/ai/ad content, and that is worth gold.

Very happy to see user engagement, its a very positive sign and will ultimately lead to downfall of reddit.

Any confirmation that these are not bot posts?

I'm doing my part!

.... Where are they? Besides a handful of posts I don't see much here.

You must be following the wrong communities, but obviously it's not nearly as busy as Reddit. Yet.
I’d love to see some more clear tracking of where all the posts are. Not sure how best to find it. Seems like I just go to every instance and have to look through their list of communities to see it.
- Check out https://lemmyverse.net/communities
  You can sort by posts, comments, subscribers, etc. plus other useful filters. It’s currently the best tool for finding active communities - especially if you’re on a smaller instance.
  It’s useful because it shows numbers across all instances - not just in relation to your own.
  You can see that some of the top communities are not English speaking, which may be why you don’t see them in your feed.

I wonder what the one millionth post was (hopefully something dumb)

Something something…beans meme
I wonder if the person really won the newest iphone like it said in the blinking pop up window
- Whoever made the post won 1 million lem-coins maybe

Das ist toll!

Woooo look at us go!

The more the merrier! 🥳

And we’re all a part of that!

This is so exciting seeing something new grow before our eyes!

this chart just looks fantastic - i hope for the best

How many of those are Bean memes?

50% Beans memes
50% Poop memes
- Perfectly balanced, as all digestive tracts should be

I was a bit surprised myself. I’m a lurker on reddit but addicted to lemmy. Can’t explain it. But I’m glad I’m here to witness this. :)

Thanks Steve Huffman!

I hope in a few years he tries to pull a "I created the fediverse" thing like how Gore did with the internet lol
should there be a /thankspez meme farm community with trophies? or should we move on?
- I wouldn't mind it, but I think a Discord-like reaction system might be better than the Reddit award system. I'm open though to either or neither.
Yeah we should thank him, without him we won't be here right??
Love you spez 😘😘😘

Glad to see Lemmy and the rest of the fediverse growing!

All hail the Fediverse.

Wow. Let's keep it up y'all!

Worth noting that Hexbear.net has 274,000 posts but isn't included in this data because it's not federated. Unless that jump on the 21st of June is it. Would be funny that Hexbear is more than 25% of the posts singlehandedly.

That is the day that hexbear relaunched so could very well be.
- Lmao Hexbear posters are strong

I'm happy to have contributed an entire 0.001% of the posts on this platform

Fun thing is a lot of the seeming Zuck fans are driving this recent spike, with the federation debates. The engagement is spiking our value, which some of the smarter ones probably know and are doing on purpose.

Keep arguing, internet, keep arguing.

Lets gooo!

I find it interesting that it dipped on July 1st. I suppose the server issues were pretty bad.

Lemmy.world went under for a bit while they fixed server issues and upgraded the efficiency of the Lemmy backend, my guess is that would cause the dip in average posts.

If you're unsure, just post. It's fine.

Yeah. I'm making more of an effort to comment more than I ever did on Reddit. I also feel like my posts are much more likely to be seen here than they were on Reddit.

as in, actual post originating from people using a lemmy based instance, or all fediverse ActivityPub entrances?

The linked page specifically tracks Lemmy, although it's not clear to me whether it's tracking posts by users from Lemmy instances or posts to Lemmy instances, which is a medium-sized distinction (the latter would include kbin, Mastodon and other Fediverse users who are posting to Lemmy from their home instance, while the former would obviously include only Lemmy users).

fuck spez?.... /s

Went to /all -> top post of all -> end up here

Love to see it

I was there, 3000 years ago \o/

Left reddit for good when boost started acting up, leaving comment to look back on in the future.

I've found my feed really picking up the past two weeks. Plenty of decent content to consume which is great.
Nice growth.

Proud to be a small part of that :)

Congratulations! Hopefully a billion will come soon (;

Posting here in hopes for free tshirts

TShirts here in hopes for free posting

Dang

Btw what's with those two dips in the past few days, deleted spam?

LFG team!

As someone who plays WoW, “looking for group” team seems redundant.

how about post by bots?

Yay! I'm a happy bangwagoner :)

Let the Lemmy flow

That's quite a jump

Reddit said I could only use their official app. But we all know its not very well done. The simplicity of reddit became to stressful and complicated.

Now for the 10 mIlion!

just keep making lemmy like sites better as reddit keeps getting shittier. i do hope reddit keeps making reddit worse.

Does this include comments or strictly posts?

87% shitposts I bet lol

But really, that’s a cool landmark.

Hi mom

That's crazy

Absolutely astounding. Memmy for Lemmy certainly lead the way for me. iOS app.

what a turntable

Yayyy!!!

insert more initialD gas gas gas

Cool, hope it continues to grow!

1 million per day too

Woah that's dope congratulations lemmy I'm happy to be here to witness it!

It will be interesting to see how this graph develops in the following months!

Sync for lemmy should come out in the next few months, that will also have an effect.

Dope! Let's go!

FK yeah!

I played around with Friendica years ago, it wasn't at the time much to get into. The idea was to setup a Facebook like server that we could use for our family only. Ended up tearing that instance down as we didn't really like it at the time. I'm really excited about Lemmy though, so much so I again, went and setup my own corner of the lemmy-verse. The ideals this is built upon are the ideals that grabbed me into the internet so long ago, freedom and resiliency and the ability to discover something new, not have some algorithm throw it at you. I look forward to seeing this platform continue to grow and being a more active participant in it. Go LEMMY!

Sweet keep them coming!

@Paulius@lemmy.world Does it only count Lemmy's posts, or does it include other compatible plateforms, such as Mbin?

Looks like just posts from Lemmy instances. Now, are replies posts? I don't think so, I think it's original topics. But many replies from Lemmy users are going to be to outside sources, so there's a lot going on!

Lol @ that little dip down when everyone was checking to see if their Reddit apps still worked that day.

Keep growing that number!

Let’s goooo, this is awesome

BOOM! ...shaka-laka...

To infinity and beyond

Ise Firefox? Built in plugins like adblock, darkmode etc, same as desktop. Plus fuck Google
- No apparently other language that aren't English aren't taggable on some server because of limitation with lemmy.

The graph not starting at 0 makes this a bit deceiving at first glance.

I'm super against abuses in scales but this one isn't that bad. It wouldn't have changed too much but yes, it's slightly deceptive to track it as what looks like 10x the growth instead of 5
- It's half way up a line at the start of the graph, and the end of the graph is at 8 lines tall, so by my math I'd say it looks like 16x vs roughly the actual ~4x improvement.

Amazing! Let’s keep this going!!!

Some of these probably are bot posts, but that's still impressive

Where is my wine?

Unfortunately it's only 6 posts that aren't about lemmy or reddit.

Well evryone's first comment is to complain about lemmy and/or reddit, but that's the initiation rite. You're hooked now

1 million posts a day? That seems a lot! Does it count comments?

It's not per day. The number is cumulative.
- How can it be cumulative if thr title is average, and the line has downward dips - impossible in a cumulative graph unless negative posts are a thing.
1,000,000 total since launch.*
- That makes more sense. The legend on the graph confused me though.

And 90% of them have been bitching about reddit, talking about reddit, or asking how we can make the fediverse more like reddit. I'd love to contribute more, but there is honestly very little in the way of content here outside of the reddit exodus, besides basic memes and nsfw bullshit pages which are already getting flooded with bots selling OnlyFans subs. People have talked about how much higher quality the posts are here, but I don't see it at all.

Sounds like you need to curate your communities a bit more so your subscribed list works better for you. The memes on the front page are part of the organic growth of the site but there are tons of smaller communities with good stuff here that you can fill your front page with.
The number of posts and users is skyrocketing but we're not reddit yet, we don't have all the niche subs with 100,000 subscribing lurkers to drive visibility. If you're missing an experience then it's up to you to try to create it by posting what you want to see.
