Lemmy.world grew from around 51000 total users the moment 3rd party reddit apps started to shut down on June 30 to 71000 total users at the time of this post (July 1). That's a 40% growth in about 12 hours!
Welcome new reddit expats!
You can really tell, as posts that used to have 1-2 comments now have 4-5. It's nice chatting with y'all
Still learning the ropes of it all. I'll try not to be just a lurker like I am ha.
Man the servers got hit today didn't they!
The future is looking bright
I just joined and so far I'm really liking it. Gonna have to figure out the new format these instances, but I'm up for it!
What app are you guys using for Lemmy now ? I'm on Jerboa . I find it laggy while scrolling. What's a better alternative?
Connect for Lemmy is amazing.
There's also wefwef, which seems to be a clone of Apollo.
Popular Reddit apps like Sync and Boost are currently in the process of making Lemmy ports.
Holy shit
Using Wefwef myself and lemmy.zip...both have been snappy as I was accustomed to using Apollo.
Crazy!! I don't envy the admins lol, tho they're doing a fantastic job in keeping the server up.
It’s weirdly exciting to have a fresh start on a new platform. Hoping to see those numbers continue to grow!
That’s intense.
Slightly off-topic: Can you guys access lemm.ee? It looks all messed up on my end.. @sunaurus@lemm.ee
