Lemmy Just Reached 1 Million Posts
(lemmy.world)
Lemmy just reached a new milestone: 1 million posts, across 1,323 servers.
What happened on June 21st? The API shutdown was on July 1st.
It was around the days when spez goons started threatening moderators to open their subs
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.
That's what I was gonna say, the blackout ended on the 14th and then spez did his ama so I feel like that might've been the push people needed to make the change.
Some preemptively moved over in a transition period maybe?
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.
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.
The news broke before July 1st
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.
