Context: Reddit made a few controversial annoucements, feel free to have a look at [email protected]
For people wanting to discuss why some people focus on Lemmy’s growth, here is a recent thread from [email protected] :
Interesting! We’ve had quite a noticeable spike of sign-ups on lemm.ee as well
every time spez opens his mouth a bunch of people go “hmm let me see if there’s something else”
We’ve definitely noticed an increase in signups at lemmy.ca when that news was announced. Not all active users yet, but a lot of signups
Only 50k? I thought it would be much more than that. Didn’t know Lemmy was still this small after all these years.
There are probably a lot of lurkers who don’t vote or comment, but there is no way to know their numbers
I’m new here coming from Reddit.
Yalls subreddit needs links to here. And a short guide on getting started.
I had to scroll a bunch of comments to find the right name to Google. Then I had to find the most popular app to use. It was a bit of a hassle. Not too bad. But enough to be off-putting to newbies.
The benefit is also it’s curse. It’s all open, so there can be a bunch of names and a bunch of apps. Nobody agrees what the best app is.
But once you get your own ecosystem set up, it is amazing.
Which is a huge hurdle for new people 😬
So not DNC bots/bot-like-humans then.
Definitely plenty of DNC stans here, but definitely not as ban-happy as Reddit was when it comes to having a different opinion.
It is lower from where it was in june (48.472) and the data seem to indicate a negative trajectory , also lemmy donations seem to be the lowest i remember them to be.
So i would not get too confident, the project IMO needs to focus on highly requested killer features. My impression they focusing too much on technical issues that don’t seem to be really important in a way that reminds me of the infamous The CADT Model rant of Jamie Zawinski. Do we really need to do a UI rewrite?
Hopefully Sublinks, PieFed or Mbin will be ready soon so that we can ditch Lemmy entirely.
Are those better than Lemmy? I’m enjoying Lemmy so far.
Probably due to Reddit fuckary. Between power-hungry, ban-happy mods and Reddit talking about possibly charging for select subs, I definitely bailed and came here.
Two days old today, baaabbby!!
Doing my part tho! I’ve created 5 communities and have posted over 100 times in the last two days. :)
That is crazy. Nice work! :D
Thank you. Everyone is calling me a troll and saying things like, “Troll alert. Account is only 2 days old!”
But WTF? Are we supposed to wait after we create an account to start posting?
No. I created an account so I could START posting. lol
