Fediverse

It's really nice to see genuinely thoughtful comments on lemmy. It's definitely a refreshing change from the endless streams of tired, overused jokes that dominate that other site.

Dawn of the first day. 72 hours remains.

EDIT: Didn’t expect this comment to get this many upvotes. Here’s a song for all you Majora’s Mask fans to enjoy at Time’s End, by the magnificently talented Theophany.

I'm done with Reddit. I can't support their behaviour so I'm moving on. I'm currently using Jerboa, and testing Liftoff and Thunder. All three are good, but Liftoff is my preference so far, just waiting for a few issues to be sorted which is happening over time. I'm interested to see what Sync does for Lemmy, as that was my go to Reddit app.

We could only hope for a positive grow cycle: more people > more content > more people

I’ve chosen to go 100% cut off from Reddit but was a daily Apollo user. I averaged around a couple of hours of use each day with Apollo. Since I left Reddit a couple of weeks ago I tried only using the browser version which has been pretty hard. But now that I found Memmy I’m super happy. A lot of the interactions are similar to Apollo and I feel I can interact a lot better with the fediverse using the app.

I’m using Mlem on iOS right now, seems pretty solid for the most part. I haven’t tried others yet, but now I will! Thanks!

Edit: follow up- wefwef feels super slick, very Apollo like, has local docker hosting option!

I still use Infinity for reddit from time to time. But these days I spent most of my online time with Jerboa. I had tried the offcial Reddit app and it's basically unusable on my phone.

Looks like it has already started. People are reporting limiting errors in apps.

There seems to be a big difference between browsing /all this morning and from when I first made an account. People seem to be motivated to add content which is making Lemmy punch above its weight at the moment. The Shit per User (SPU) index is pretty high at the moment.

I was just using Sync for Reddit when I noticed I can no longer load comments and then a pop up came up that said I was being rate limited by reddit. F this, I'll no longer visit that site even.

This doesn't appear to be correct, it should be labelled total comments, by day, not per day. You can see the total number of comments on https://the-federation.info/platform/73.

The top two instances, lemmy.world and lemmy.ml have a total number of comments of 156331 and 188364.

Per day comments on lemmy.world averages between 6,000 - 10,000.

Plus one

Memmy is almost feature complete. wefwef.app if you don‘t want to install an app or don‘t have a testflight ticket.

Wow that's crazy! Curious to see what will happen on the 30th.

I’m using Memmy right now. All the Apollo users should fully migrate when it’s down.

What's crazy is this is only tracking comment traffic. The real unique traffic should be an order of magnitude higher, at least.

Wait, there really are 5.7 million comments a day on Lemmy?

I'm part of that, I quit Reddit and nuked all my content on the way out because they're not only forcing Apollo to close down, they tried to blackmail Apollo's developer. I used to be a premium subscriber too.

Started by checking out Mlem. Currently using Liftoff and enjoying the feel so far.

We're rolling (doing great)

For apps, Connect and Summit seem to be the best I've tried. Summit is closest to the app Slide that I used on the website that shall not be named.

Jerboa crashes on older servers so I haven't really been able to use it as Lemmy.world is a 17.X server because of the captcha removal "feature".

5,7 mil daily seems a lot. does it count other instances like kbin etc?
