From 3000 daily users to 41000 active daily users!
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
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.
Same. I feel like what I say here is actually heard.
Exactly. This right here is a microcosm of that. I discussed poetry with someone last night. I haven’t discussed that in years! It’s nice here.
Ps, I just saw how many posts you’ve created and wanted to thank you for all the effort you are putting in here. I spend a ton of time surfing, and appreciate all the work that the technical people are doing to allow us to have a new home.
@SoPunny@lemmy.world, thanks so much! I used to lurk on reddit, but now I'm trying to do a little bit to help this site and lemmy grow. I see you're contributing as well.
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!
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.

LINE GO UP
This kind of growth is absolutely insane.
You happy with this stat, @ulu_mulu@lemmy.world?
Best of stats!
In YOUR opinion.
(look at their username)
I hopped over recently. Very happy to be here.
Much better statistic than total users due to all the spam bots recently created.
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.
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'm not sure what you mean about no option to select an instance. Here is an example instance with open signups: https://libre.video. You can find more here: https://the-federation.info/platform/29
Youtubers could gradually switch to PeerTube by uploading videos to both sites for now. They would make money the same way they do currently - through sponsorships and donations. I'm sure many of them can afford to host their own instance.
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.
I just joined last night after leaving Reddit for green pastures here and am happy to support the site.
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.
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.
Go to this website and scroll to "All lemmy nodes". That table lists all the real instances at the top. https://the-federation.info/platform/73
Just joined. I really hope this kicks off, because it would be sad to see reddit prosper after all the greedy nonsense.
stönk
I'm glad we're taking off. The sooner we can shift our communities over to the fediverse, the better.
Yes yeees, amazing, keep making your users hate you reddit, hehehehe
awesome. moved here a couple of days ago. like it here. but please improve the ios app
Everytime I look, that sharp rise on the right keeps getting taller.
With the Sync dev announcing a version for lemmy, it might actually bring in a flood of new (real) users even before July 1.
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.
A community to talk about the Fediverse and all it's related services using ActivityPub (Mastodon, Lemmy, KBin, etc).
