I'm a degenerate gambler from Reddit. Now I'm a degenerate gambler on Lemmy.
Made an account on sh.itjust.works now and the performance is so much better. Federation is so awesome.
lolol def feel a little homeless
Do you have some change?
stumbles in from reddit and throws up racist memes all over the floor
I am honestly curious how long it will take for lemmy to get its first million users. May we win or not. but still nice to see a chance and grow
If you trust the totals at https://the-federation.info/platform/73 -- then we're already past 2M users.
But if you look at "Active this month", then it is only 60k users. Lemmy counts activity differently than Reddit. Active means: made a comment or post, whereas Reddit counts any user you had the post in their feed as active.
So this month there's about 2M users, 2M comments, 600k posts, but only 60k of those users generated all of the content.
The only rule on Reddit was: 90% of the users were non-participating lurkers. It seems this might be accurate here too, or at least approximately.
Hopefully, the momentum of people transferring to lemmy stays. I've had conversations with other Redditors who recognized the importance of third party apps but went ahead and downloaded the official app anyway.
I tried the official app soon after it's initial release and didn't like it. Tried again the other day and it was even worse than I remember. It was ugly and slow scrolling on my phone. I deleted it right away. I don't mind using the reddit desktop site, if I go back for my niche communities until they make it to the Fediverse, but I'm no longer using reddit on mobile if I can't use my favorite 3rd-party app. Reddit even made it's mobile website annoying to use, trying push people to its app. I absolutely hate when sites do that.
That's insane. I downloaded boost because I hated the official app. Since I heard the news about the API I never even once considered downloading the official app again. After all, you're exactly doing what sp*z wants you to do.
Tell me about it. Just goes to show that certain people aren't willing to compromise on what they perceive as their home.
Lemmy also has a really great app environment. Boost for Lemmy is apparently already on the way, as well as both Sync, Slide, and a bunch of new apps too!
How can anyone use the official app after using a 3PA for years? The official app is laggy and bloated...
