I’ve noticed that Lemmy is getting more and more usable as more users join and add more content.
Um, I am desperate for them to fix their main page algorithm. I browse Lemmy cause fuck Reddit, but the main page is mostly useless.
Try sorting by “Top Day” if you haven’t already until it’s fixed.
New is good
New is only good in small communities. A feed with, I’m guessing, 10,000+ users, it’s a challenge to read titles before new posts causes them to scroll off the screen.
I love this because more people will comment. A majority of my time on Reddit was reading through comments and hearing all of people’s interesting takes and learning random information. The daily increase is fun to watch especially since I’m not the one maintaining the servers!
Yeah I learned so much reading other people’s comments, so I’m trying to recreate that on this site.
totally agree. I’ve been trying to engage more myself to encourage others to do the same
yeah it’s important that people post and comment. lurking is only good once there’s a critical mass of content and engagement to sustain that kind of passive browsing. i hope new users will understand it’s early days on this platform and content has to come from somewhere!
This is probably just the first big wave. The biggest will be when the apps themselves actually shut down - fence sitters will then have to make a choice to download the official app or try an alternative and I think a lot of people will be curious to see if the grass is greener.
The grass is always greener where one side has grass and the other side is a desolate nuclear wasteland created by the incompetence of the land owner.
The jump is caused by Spez being a twat.

Yeah, the drama over there is pure reality TV level right now.
Wow, that bad, eh? Haven’t been there for a month now. Just bot accounts everywhere?
I haven’t “left” Reddit yet, but I also have been avoiding the site as much as possible. If they’re going to be a terrible site, the least I can do is try to avoid going on and making them money from ads.
Or at least only doing so at home where I have my PiHole box to remove them.
I’m attempting to move on from Reddit. Heard good things about Lemmy. I’m checking things out.
Hopefully is not an army of bots, but for me that’s the most plausible explanation.
It likely is spam/bot accounts. Multiple admins of instances with open reg have commented/posted about having to fight bot sign-ups the past few days. The only fix that helped (they said) was to enable captcha. There’s a git issue on the lemmy project mentioning that they are removing captcha, so the admins are particularly worried about that…
Lemm.ee’s admin said he had to defederate a lot of smaller instances because they were having trouble with bots
No, it’s most-definitely spez removing entire moderator teams of popular subreddits.
I came too because off the newest anti user behavior of reddits CEO and Admins. Made an Account on feddit.de and now have access to all Communities in the Fediverse.
I was using Infinity for reddit most of the past years and would not switch back to the awful reddit default Android App.
The official lemmy App is not perfect. But all ready good enough to be used with mostly no bigger issues. Mostly lacking in some features compared to infinity.
It’s the way tech disseminates into the world.
If you’ve been here for a month or more, you’re a first adopter and the true heroes of our cause. You take up what makes no sense to – what is untested and will likely be a waste of time.
These people then tell the early adopters, which is what you are if you’ve been here for a couple weeks.
Once we got on board, we told all our friends who join, and then the whole thing keeps snowballing.
Of course, Lemmy really has Reddit to thank for making us all balk enough to take a look at fediverse stuff. Mastodon really didn’t do it for me when I checked on it a couple years ago, but this is awesome and totally makes sense.
Playing around with Pleroma now so I can follow users here!
I joined this “fediverse” three days ago, what am I?
I’ve avoided Reddit since Sunday and am missing being able to see what’s going on without having to visit tech blogs/news sites/etc…
Decided might as well make the next jump and propel the death of Dig, I mean reddit
This is not the way. By using Reddit you are essentially giving money to the shareholders. You are fattening the rich. It is pathetic. Stop using reddit, fullstop.
You are here on Lemmy. Help the community instead of trying to redirect traffic back to reddit…
A lot of us haven’t been able to create accounts due to high activity. It looks like account creation requests have finally started going through.
Unfortunately, such a huge spike is probably because of a bot campaign…
I’m just here so i don’t get fined. created an account because the developer for my reddit app is working on One for lemmy. So figured I’d give this a try
Which app is that? Sync?
Correct
I can’t wait for it to drop
No idea myself but we have to remember that not all the users that come try this will stay, so I anticipate once the Reddit nonsense blows over the community will shrink a bit. I am going to stay, but I was “lemmy curious” before the reddit business.
Someone made a great site for people coming from Reddit to find communitie they were a part of. https://sub.rehab/
Most likely it’s because of Reddi’s bots, targeting all the other good options and making content pro-staying
What do you mean?
Wow, holy shit. Servers must be getting slammed with requests. Good thing there’s lots of instances to spread the burden.
Got sick of Reddit, looked for alternatives, found sub.rehab, found Lemmy was common… here I am.
