Speaking of 3rd party apps, here’s a list of all lemmy apps currently in development: https://lemmy.world/post/465785
For iOS, I’m testing Liftoff, Memmy, and Thunder. For Android, I’m testing Jerboa. What’s everyone’s favorite app so far?
Dawn of the first day. 72 hours remains.
It’s just sad. Like when you separate out the vitriol for spez, the whole situation just sucks. Reddit was my site for over a decade, and I know there are tens of thousands in the same situation as me. I thought I was insulated from this bullshit within Reddit, but clearly I was naive.
No one is really insulated. The way I explained it to someone is Reddit was like a girlfriend you dated for 10 years. It was great and it was mostly on autopilot. You both enjoyed each others company. Every so often you would get in a fight but it was never anything too extreme. The API change was like a massive blow up where you two finally say things that cannot be taken back. Afterwards your relationship isn’t really the same. It is not necessarily damaged beyond repair, but one of the two in the relationship is just sorta sitting there thinking “This aint worth it anymore” so they go on a break to take some time. Many people will go back. Many will call it quits. Some will go between Lemmy and Reddit. But things are just not going to be the same moving forward.
I ultimately still need to use reddit for a few things, mainly a modding group from Skyrim I’m a part of and we use reddit as a sort of hub for our work, so I’m kind of stuck there until the heat death of either reddit or the project.
I do have hope for Lemmy though, but as of July 1st, reddit will lose me as part of their mobile ecosystem because I refuse to utilize that shit app of theirs.
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.
This
edit: do we really have to copy the ‘/s’ for sarcasm?
Came here to say this.
@Hank It’s just a nice thing in text based communication in general, as there are no tone or body cues to indicate sarcasm.
I know but it so oftens ruins a joke if you are so focused on eliminating any ambiguity that the original purpose of your statement is lost.
No, no we do not.
The /s should remain a thing of the past. It’s embarrassing.
We could only hope for a positive grow cycle: more people > more content > more people
Also more developers
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.
Wow you’re right. People are reporting the same thing.
Plus one
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.
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.
Looks like it has already started. People are reporting limiting errors in apps.
I’m using Memmy right now. All the Apollo users should fully migrate when it’s down.
For android I was using Jerboa but switched to Liftoff and am liking it so far.
I like Liftoff, but have issues with duplicate posts, blocking communities, and something like ‘you aren’t logged into X, login to comment’ when I am actually logged in. Liftoff and Jerboa both get better with each release though, and the releases are fast.
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!
EDIT: That link might not work in apps. If that’s the case go here instead: [email protected]
I’ve settled my focus on Memmy with some periodic checks on Mlem. I’m a sucker to try as many new Lemmy apps as I can but Memmy is where I spend my time. The development pace is amazing.
same here, i’m super impressed with how far along memmy has come in such a short time. really excited to see how all of these apps continue to improve but memmy is a clear #1 for me at this point in time
Neat, I’m pretty sure this my first comment! Excited to be here
Memmy is almost feature complete. wefwef.app if you don‘t want to install an app or don‘t have a testflight ticket.
I’m a bit dubious about this stat; it feels similar to the User’s stat being over run by bots.
Lemmy has about 50,000 users, similar to Kbin, but it’s users are commenting 120 times and also posting 16 times each a day on average? That seems unrealistic.
For comparison, Kbin (which actually has a slightly larger active user base) is produced about 100,000 comments a day, which is about 2 comments a day and about 0.6 posts per user per day. Interestingly Kbin’s total users and active users are almost identical.
The threadiverse is certainly doing well, but I think the Lemmy stats continue to be skewed away from reality. I’m wondering if this is not actually all to do with bots, but some fundamental error in the counting/collection? Are the same comments and posts and maybe even the total user count in Lemmy being counted multiple times in the data fed back by the different servers?

I think there might some confusion in your comment. The post’s data is for all lemmy instances, which is larger than just lemmy.world.
As of this moment, lemmy.world has about 51k users, followed by lemmy.ml’s 39k and beehaw.org’s 11k. If you take the top 10 non-bot lemmy instances, they add up to roughly 136k users. And that’s just 10 out of 1000 instances. Source: https://the-federation.info/platform/73
All of that to say your math might be wrong.
Wait, there really are 5.7 million comments a day on Lemmy?
Maybe, but how many of them are by bots?
Yeah there are a lot of communities out there where there is just a bot that appears to be mirroring what is posted on the subreddit it mirrors. There are a ton of posts like that I have seen.
