There’s enough content for me here, and metric FUCKTONS less toxicity; so there’s jackshit Spez could offer, to get me back.

BTW, I detest the repost bots linking directly back to that cesspool. At least provide archive links, just to fuck with Spez’s engagement numbers.

Well even if I wanted to go back to Reddit, I couldn't use it without a decent mobile app, and all of those no longer exist.

Communities don't spring up fully formed, they grow over time with many rises and falls in activity along the way. Lemmy is still young and we can all do our part to help it.

Now I'm sure that the number of users is lower than a few months ago, but I wonder how many people are just lurking, never commenting/ posting.

Does it matter if Lemmy is losing users? I haven't noticed my feeds losing active users even if it's down across the fediverse. Besides they'll be back the next time Reddit has another unpopular decision which should take about another 3 months

Not very surprising to lose users after the big intake from June. If that were the only intake we'd ever get I would be worried but we all know that Reddit will continue to do user-hostile things. Lemmy now exists as a permanent lifeboat for those who get fed up with Reddit over time, and the next time something big happens we'll be better prepared.

Losing users is fine as long as a steady core remains. The summer growth was explosive, so some shrinking is expected.

Users who made multiple accounts across multiple instances to deal with constant outages are just not using their alts as much. No need to.

The amount of regular posts has gone up, too, so that means the people who are staying are more consistently interacting

There’s not QUITE enough content here for my short-ass attention span, but I DO come here first and I’ve stopped all posting on the other place.

Can we leave the cringe self censorship behind? Lemmy isn’t beholden to advertisers and thus has no need to be “family friendly”

Honored to have my meme reposted. Fuxk Spez

I visited old.reddit a few times in the last week, after deleting my 10+ yo account in July and ditching Reddit altogether, and it just isn’t the same anymore. The content just isn’t good like it used to be.

Lemmy has plenty of room for improvement, and often feels like it’s just an RSS feed, but I genuinely prefer it now over current Reddit.

Fuck Spez.

Isn't it pretty much expected? There was a massive boost during the API controversy then it dropped off as the number of active users stabilised. I don't think Lemmy will immediately replace Reddit like people want it to, just a slow gradual migration of communities. After all the migration from Digg to Reddit took years. I've got no doubt that Reddit will make more dumb decisions that will push more over to Lemmy.

Honestly I just want communities like /r/framework to move over and some UK subs like /r/frugaluk and /r/casualuk then I'm happy.

Agreed, I'm sticking with the fediverse for my social media no matter how small it gets because corporate social media is just that incredibly toxic.

I get more engagement here so Reddit can suck it

Yeah, I've been spending more time on Discord lately, but I'm sure not going back to reddit. Tbh I've really disconnected from spaces where I was/would be exposed to right wing extremists and hatred of me. Instagram obviously has it's problems, but the algorithm won't allow me--a trans lesbian stoner--to view hateful content without a fight. If I need to see some fringe beliefs and content, I'll dive head first into the Hexbear pool!

We have already matured significantly since the initial rush. There will be another rush, and we'll be in an even better state then.

Since when is lemmy losing users

I cheat on Lemmy with Tumblr but Reddit is the ex I shook.

It's better to have fewer users, as far as I'm concerned. Every sub I was part of in reddit when the sub started was great when it was small, and then became trash as it got bugger.

This place is better for me for all uses other than random web search results where a Redditor posted something I’m looking for.

On Lemmy, it feels worthwhile to participate and interact with everybody. The quality of users helps, but the lower quantity doesn’t hurt either.

I go back every now and then because a community I follow hasn’t fully integrated here yet and omg reddit is getting worse, more ads than posts and posts seems to be bots more and more, won’t be long now. Fuck spez

Funny enough I downloaded the reddit app this week and created an account again.

Unfortunately theres not enough niche content on lemmy.

But damn do I dislike that app. It consistently pushes me away. Maybe Sync app is the only thing keeping me on Lemmy.

Just throwing this out there: Firefox mobile with Adblock let's you used Reddit without giving them any ad rev

Hello, new Lemmy user here. Obligatory fuck spez. Not sure how I feel about the baby emoji next to my username though lol

I went back to reddit to see how are things going, just one day and I can conclude that Lemmy has become superior.

Redd..what?

💯

reddit helped me by banning me for the third time.

So bold. So brave!

Permanently Deleted

Same for the Framework sub. Although there are quite a few UK subs on feddit.uk which is promising.

I never give up

Hello

You can patch it with ReVanced. People have discovered that ReVanced can patch apps.

Fuck the Hurensohn!

I log in about once a month and make a comment on something just so they have to keep my account active. If my few hundred comments can cost them a penny a year, it is worth it.

Fuck Spez.

But I got a subscription for Relay for Reddit. That's a fantastic app.

Paid to remove ads on boost for lemmy as well. Will just have to keep on both!
