This is a better metric than registered users. I'm enjoying this early stage of lemmy where everyone seems eager to use the platform. It's giving the same vibes as the old forums I used to participate in the early days of the internet. We just need more content creators and we are set!
The comment sections have been pretty engaging in the communities that are getting established quickly, but I can't wait for more people to start posting. I have a community for SpacePorn and it's just me posting things and almost 100 people watching with the very rare occasional comment popping up. It's a little frustrating feeling like I have to keep entertaining everyone, when I just want others to join in 😅.
I’m in a similar situation in !ultralight@lemmy.world. Getting people engaged is a bit like getting people to dance at a party, many people want to but someone has to break the ice… things I’ve tried is pinning a post asking people to stop by and say hi, also comment on each post so there’s something to latch onto, people won’t click in with 0 comments. You can also try a joke post to break the ice, in the case of SpacePorn you could combine a picture of a galaxy and a swimsuit model and say “Am I doing this right?!?” or something; it’s stupid but hopefully it makes someone laugh.
yep! I'm not much of a conversation starter but love diving into comments, let's hope it keeps growing
Just tell me where to post photos of a Whippet in a hat and I'm there. 👍
Woot woot!
I’ve been commenting here more than I did on Reddit where I lurked accountless on old.reddit, let’s hope the trend continues.
Reddit refugee here.
Looking forward to seeing how this goes
As long as a good amount of us refugees contribute to help make this a vibrant and interesting community by sharing thoughts and interests, this should go pretty well. I’m loving it so far. Cheers!
Already dropped 10 or so comments :)
Make that 11!
I didn't think I would get on with Lemmy but it's actually really good!
Finally, a useful stats as total user count skewed by bot spam.
Speaking of bots, they are still inactive aren't they?
For the most part they seem to be. There's an instance with like 50k "users" but only 10 active, which tells me the bots are registering but most aren't being used yet.

This kind of growth is absolutely insane.
Much better statistic than total users due to all the spam bots recently created.
I hopped over recently. Very happy to be here.
Surprising it's gained this much traction, considering Reddit literally doesn't allow this site to be linked on their platform (which is honestly so petty)
We did it Lemmy!
Gotta get used to saying that.
Just got here using WefWef as a daily Apollo user. I’ll be browsing daily after June since Reddit is killing third party apps. I think a lot of people are in the same boat.
stönk
Next part of the Fediverse I'd like to see grow like that is PeerTube, so we can flip the Red Site a (few thaousands of) middle finger.
I think that is more complicated, as the channels need to generate revenue. Additionally, videos take up much more storage, and there is no option to select an instance like Lemmy. I only see options to selfhost.
I don't post much other than memes but I comment lots and try to upvote quality posts. Reddit is dead to me, I spend too much of my time on social medias anyways.
@Cybermass @MicroWave My rule of thumb for all social media is:
How much of my life am I spending watching others live theirs?
It's a unique 'tipping point' for each person, but once reached it's time to log off and pursue other endeavors.
It’s good to see. On June 30/July 1 we’re likely to see another big influx of users when the Reddit API changes go into effect and Apollo et al shut down.
Just joined. I really hope this kicks off, because it would be sad to see reddit prosper after all the greedy nonsense.
I just joined last night after leaving Reddit for green pastures here and am happy to support the site.
If you take a look on fedidb.org, there's a TON of instances with ~30,000 users but 1 active user. I checked one and the admin had commented that he had email verification off but manual approval on and wasn't getting anyone registering, so he turned manual approval off too. Welp.
I'm glad we're taking off. The sooner we can shift our communities over to the fediverse, the better.
I wonder how many of those are active users vs spam / bots
I’ve only seen one or two spam bots so i can’t imagine it’s alot.
Hopefully not majority bots
I tend to sort by new and all, and it seems like the majority is bots copying posts over from reddit, they have original link to the post on Reddit but there is the bot disclaimer on a lot of posts recently. Maybe it will die down a little once these bots move all the data from reddit to lemmy
