From 2,997 active users across all lemmy instances at the beginning of June, the number increased to 52,797 by June 30th. Source.
An active user on Lemmy is "someone who has posted or commented on our instance or community within the last given time frame.” Source. That means lurkers are not counted as active users.
We're really building something here!
That is pretty crazy. Good to see.
I'm looking at the Lemmy instances webpage https://the-federation.info/platform/73
Why are so many instances closed for sign-ups? Doesn't seem like a good thing for the potential July 1st deluge of new users.
Leaving my first comment to be added to the count
Gotta be part of the statistics!
Just signed up for lemmy and this already feels better than reddit. Hope it gains more traction ahead.
Leaving a comment to be counted lol
I am a reddit refugee here. Would love to be part of this community. Even got a user name I love than the ridiculous one I have at reddit. And this web app that you guys have built is Fucking awesome on iPhone and feels like I am using Apollo.
Guess I'm active now.
New lemmy account checking in as active! I'll grab the popcorn 🍿
Commenting so i'm counted as active :)
Active. Good afternoon, folks.
Using a friend's instance now, but plan to create my own instance here soon as well. Excited to see the reddit influx, I've been waiting for over 10 years to see something like this happen, tracking federation since StatusNet
Activate!
I wonder what it will be in July 🤔
Not to be a Debra downer but until we have a way of accurately IDing bots / auto-generated accounts these numbers should have a massive asterisk on them, it's interesting but not an indicator of quality
lemme add to the statistics a little :)
We’re all numbers haha
Getting used to things here. Singed up with a random instance. Trying to figure out if there is any benefit to signing up with a particular instance, and if it's worth exploring for a better/closer instance to sign up with.
The benefit of having an account on lemmy.world is the amount of content already available on the site. But once you understand how federation works, it doesn’t matter much because you can subscribe to communities on other instances using the same account.
I’m on lemmy.world partly because it’s run a team of experienced admins, so uptime has been great (once we’re past this reddit influx).
I signed up today. It's working for me in chrome but the mlem app isn't recognizing my username or email. I'll give it some time. It was sad this morning when Apollo was dead. RIP 3rd party apps and the Reddit that lives only in memory.
Ove had similar issues getting started but definitely worth seeing where this grows
I am so excited about what's going to happen for Lemmy, I was looking for a replacement for Reddit, and this fedverse seems to have so much potential!
