Lemmy.world grew from about 51k users when third-party reddit apps started to shut down to about 84.8k users at the time of this post.

Definitely felt some growing pains in the past few days, but it's great to see the platform more active now that things have become more stable.

So, welcome reddit expats!

Yeah, basically nothing has changed. However, after switching to Lemmy I've noticed the quality of the content is higher

The bean posts are definitely more thoughtful here.

I use wefwef and for me the scrolling is similar to Apollo and scratches the itch. I am struggling, though, with subscribing to communities and curating my feed. But also remembering my Reddit feed took years to curate so trying to be patient. I just find more hoops to jump through here to get to the content I want to view (discounting the bugginess of things because I understand it’s new and they’re sorting it out still).

Bummer there wasn’t a bigger visible hit to Reddit for their shenanigans, but I am glad that more content creators have migrated and more interesting things are also appearing in the feed I have been working on here. It is very green and clunky, but also feels fresh!

This feels like Reddit from 2010. Not the interface, but like the feel of discovering a new link aggregator.

I mostly visited r/All so the "All" feed works for me

Well I tried lemmy a number of years ago and it was a ghost town. I hardly found anything I wanted to read and Reddit had it all. Now I'm back and I've noticed a lot more content. Others might notice too when they come to check it out. From this, I suspect we will see growth.

I have just missed discourse with real humans.
