In other news, Sync is coming to Lemmy.
You must log in or register to comment.
Whatever the number, I’ve definitely noticed in the past few days that there are getting to be enough people having conversations and posting content for this place to feel like a legit community instead of a ghost town. I’m really glad to see more people joining and taking part.
Agreed. It’s really nice to see top posts having a lot of thoughtful engagement. Hopefully we’ll have enough to start seeing people branching out to smaller niche communities too.
The small niche communities are pretty much dead, sadly. But there for sure is hope!
For example, your comment is the first one I have seen that has over 30 upvotes since I came on board a week back.
It’s been amazing to feel like we’re part of something that’s growing so fast. I’ll miss Reddit but I expect Lemmy will fill in the role sooner rather than later.
How easy is it!
I just used my Reddit name and continued here.
No effort what so ever.
Bit to wrap my head around the idea of subs being completely different communities on different servers, but I LIKE that idea… no Fascist Overlords to control the groupthink.
I guess (if this is how the Lemmyverse/Fediverse works) is some AWS/cloud instances are going to be spun up hard and fast!
Line goes up?
You failed to continue multiplicative growth therefore your investors are going to pull their money… Wait there are no investors, there is no ipo. I’m going to donate 10$.
the interface is just so clean. it feels like early internet and I love it.
Were you using new reddit? I don’t find it that different from old.reddit (which is fine by me).
Exactly! I’m so happy it finally seems to be an alternative to Reddit, which has mutated into such a weird monster
I’ve tried moving away from Reddit several times with varying degrees of success, this time though it’s felt really easy - the more i learn about Lemmy the more i like it and look forward to seeing it evolve. There are some really nice communities here too, feels like a lot of the most interesting people have come here but the spammers, bots and trolls haven’t yet – i’m sure it’ll change as things grow but i’m going to enjoy it while it lasts.
Notice the disparity between monthly active users and registered users. These are bots. I’m very tempted to block these instances outright.

Just block them. going to have to with the number of bots on it.
Does Status Count in the chart mean number of posts or comments?
I think so.
Might be necessary. I don’t see any good coming from hundreds of thousands of bots.
How can a user block instances?
This is my first comment on Lemmy , excited to be here as we embark on a new journey away from Reddit.
I’m excited for Sync coming to lemmy , my go to app for reddit browsing was Sync.
And obligatory fuck spez
Just heard the news about Sync and instantly registered here. I’ll still be hoping for Boost to cross over, but Sync is infinitely better than Reddit’s app. A decent client was all that was missing for me to make the plunge, let’s hope that’s the case for more people.
And yes, fuck Spez
Soon, the novelty accounts are going to start showing up here again.
something something undertaker mankind cage something.
I want to see shittywatercolors here in the fediverse!
Where are you shitty? We want your colors of water
We’ll know Lemmy truly is the future when we have the first shittymorph post.
Hey, I’m just here to shitpost and promote “Barbie”, OK?
Please, let’s bring the conversation back to Rampart.
I liked the part where Woody Rampart goes “It’s Ramparting time!” and rammed all over his parts.
???
Maybe google shittymorph
I read shittymorph’s most recent Undertaker post in a thread the other day. It felt like a semi retirement post; at least that’s the vibe I got from it.
Maybe some will migrate here, maybe new ones will pop up. End of an era either way though.
/shrugs. I got my old username. I’m happy.
Not https, your account will never be secure
July 1st is going to be interesting.
Yes, I expect some instances to have some difficulty coping with the traffic in July
I sometimes go to Reddit again, mostly by habit, but once Relay stops working, I’m done.
Ngl, I’m gonna miss these early days I think. Hopefully we have instilled some type of decent, thoughtful culture on here that can keep us grounded and keep flourishing.
I really like getting in on these big threads later at night when everyone is chopping it up and making me think.
I understand the bot concern, but when I look at the comment and active user figures, they’re all in the same trendline of exponential growth. This is the exodus just beginning. Personally I’m finding Lemmy to be a refreshing alternative that serves far better than what Reddit has become. I think it’s what we’ve all been waiting for, and the secret’s starting to get out.
It’s actually pretty badass to see how quick the response is developing and the awareness being so immediate. What’s really cool is to see what gets done about a problem with full transparency, instead of Reddit Admins’ chamber of secrets.
Yep it’s nice an alternative getting popular
I think it’s either bots or some spooky spammers that are falsely reporting the number of users. e.g. lemmy.k6qw.com currently claims to have 44k users with no posts…
Yeah that’s a bad instance.
There are many more bad instances like this in the statistics. I think it will become a problem for Lemmy sooner or later.
Probably! But in the mean time I bet some real people will join just because they see the numbers going up.
I believe instances can block other instances entirely, right? Or have I misunderstood that? This would mean none of those bots in there could ever post in our threads here. I’m sure there will be cooperation between the instances on this.
yes, it’s called defederation.
I think with the extreme novelty, there will be LOTS of devs trying out new scripts and auto-doings.
I suspect that will be learned pretty fast, published to a group, then many of the bots will simply die out.
I don’t doubt there’s a great amount of user growth, but it appears that many of those are account creation spam on instances with 1 active monthly user though.
Yeah, no idea whether this is spammers trying to stake turf or someone trying to inflate the user count to stick it to reddit (or something) but the numbers from the 18th on are clearly inauthentic.
TBF reddit’s numbers are also inauthentic.
Hell, fake it till you make it isn’t that bad a strategy to attract new users.
Of course, you also need content. I hope people start making bots which steal content from reddit, which bots on reddit steal from twitter/insta/tiktok/snapchat. That way we can all cut out the middle-man.
On a side note, I think it’s really cool that I’m on kbin and commenting on something on lemmy.
On a side note, I think it’s really cool that I’m on kbin and commenting on something on lemmy.
It’s also so well integrated, that I just realized I am on a Lemmy magazine/community.
Conspiracy theory: what if Reddit is using it’s not army to make a bunch of dead/spam accounts to try to make Lemmy instances more expensive solely to try to price them out of their space so they can then turn and point to how “Reddit alternatives aren’t viable/stable.”
On one hand, that’s obviously stupid and not true. On the other hand, I can see Huffman being petty and malicious enough to do something like that.
Inactive accounts don’t really add any expense. Creating a bot farm to create large amounts of artificial traffic to crush competitors would risk antitrust lawsuits that would actually cripple the company.
Wouldn’t that just make Lemmy seem more popular?

There is a huge bot issue right now (started 3 days ago). All the numbers are worthless.It’s a known issue, all admins should add captcha to the subscription page, delete the bots and re-compute the actual number of users. Unless we do that, we won’t have a correct number.
We can still look at the Monthly Active Users. Bots don’t post (yet)
Just check https://lemmit.online/c/itookapicture . Sadly only bot posts
This is a bot made to repost from reddit to generate content for remade subs, thought i don’t know if that’s the right thing to do, it’s not made purely to spam communities afaik
Bots get a bad rep. Bots are fantastic, it’s just a shame they are prejuded to be bad. I’m sure signup has a bot mode on some instances.
Nice try, bot!
I have no problem with bots in general (there were some really cool novelty ones on reddit, as well as moderation ones, etc). When large amounts of accounts are created for bots, it seems a bit shady, however. Will those be used to push political opinions and guerilla marketing as Lemmy gets bigger, or did someone just create a bunch of accounts to simulate conversations using an LLM?
They’re supposed to be bot posts. That’s what lemmit.online is for. To copy Reddit content into communities on lemmit.online.
Good to know. Also I have mixed feelings about this. It’s great to see more content but I would rather see more of original posts here than a copy from reddit.
Love it, and we’re not even at 1st July, when all 3rd party apps stop working (shame or not I still go back to reddit with Apollo to enjoy the drama).
Also, we don’t need 400 million users to have a variety of communities with good discussion and content - a few million is more than enough, probably.
I keep seeing new communities daily and we’re already the size of a decent city and much larger than the city I grew up in. We had all types from punks to queer kids to commies and fascists. We’ve got enough users to fill any niche I can think of and probably a lot more. And we’re still growing, I don’t remember reddit when it was this young, but there’s a bit of an early 4chan (minus all the racism and homophobia and hate) vibe going on that I totally dig!
Lets fucking go. Fuck you spez.
AND MY AXE!
AND MY BOW
