I hope this keeps growing. I’m loving it here, and the fediverse idea is amazing. I hope we succeed and descentralize social media. Power to the people again
Lemm.ee has been lagging for me lately idk if it has to do with all the new signups
Lemmy is more polished and populated now than before. Hope influx stays and we got all the real people from reddit and bots stay there.
Onboarding process is definitely smoother, and we fixed a lot of the Federation bugs. Usability is an all-time high. I don’t know what the critical mass is, but we are definitely gaming momentum.
Let’s go! I hope to see these numbers continue to go up as the days go on.
Reddit refugee here. Can I say Luigi?
Only if you finish in a sock or something.
Can I say Luigi
Can you say Luigi lol. Son, you’re required to pledge allegiance to Luigi before every post you make here.
This is exactly what I was wondering.
And we love you for it❤️

I’ll just say, the more I hang around Lemmy, the more I enjoy the genuine conversations. It feels like less snark, less joke replies, and just a generally more community-type feeling. Reminds me of when I first tried Reddit after leaving Digg way back when.
Hopefully, us exiles can leave the Reddit back at Reddit.
A democracy, if you can keep it, in a sense. Lemmy is healthy. Time will tell if the idea works, but I think it is a huge advantage tearing away corporate ownership and really investing in a platform that is owned by its users.
I find a bunch of snark here, but it absolutely feels more genuine. With reddit it felt like half the comments I saw were from bots. More than half, maybe.
I hate everyone on lemmy but at least I’m hating people
Aw. We hate you too.
I feel the exact same, and I’ve been hanging around here for almost two years (the great 3rd party app exodus of ‘23).
This place feels more like a community filled with people versus a firehose of internet wrapped in layers of corporate and right wing BS.
Reddit was almost exclusively read-only for me. Here, I am commenting all the time.
This is one of the reasons I stayed. It was still small enough back then that you actually started to recognize people you had conversations with, and not just the troll farms.
I like a lot of things here better than Reddit. For one thing, I don’t see the stupid buzzwords like literally or cringe in 98% of all posts. There’s no hivemind here…yet. And hopefully there won’t be.
Also not the same 5 memes repeated for 15 years.
To the moon 🚀
Yeah in a few days I’m going to delete my Reddit account, liking this place so far, you get news and genuine discussion.
Don’t close it. Get permabanned instead. Make those fuckers miserable.
Get in some good trouble.
You know it’s bad for Reddit when people were even talking about going back to Digg
Digg still exists?
They just announced they were coming back the other day 😂
Yup
Woo! That’s awesome. I am seeing quite a few more people.
We are already successful, I’m seeing stories, news articles, and videos that normally would never get pushed to the top. We can actually talk about things without overwhelming censorship, strange algorithms, or ads.

Maybe just maybe a link aggregator and discussion platform doesn’t need to make money. Maybe it can just be good and make the users happy.
MAU? Mostly Anal Users? Martian Appalachian Upholstery? Mass Ass Underwear? Missing Alligator Utensils? Moldy Apple Uterus? Massive Arctic Uranus?
Monthly Average Users
as opposed to DAU (Daily) or WAU (Weekly)
For a live product, the number of average users / time is a pretty telling metric.
I wonder what the arc will look like this time.
Thanks
Make Americans Useful.
Start at the top.
Yay!!! Let’s go :)
Zoidberg voice: hooray im helping
I’m calling this one the exodus of st mangione

Worth noting is that what counts as an “active user” has changed between now and then. During the Reddit API exodus, an “active user” was a user who had posted or commented in the past month. Now, it includes users who have voted. If the 54k MAU record was set using the first algorithm, it is likely that the MAU using the new algorithm (which includes voting) would have been much higher.
Huzzah, us lurkers now count towards the global stats!
I think that change was done way back when. Do you have a reference for the algorithm change? I tried a quick search and came out empty.
The change was merged in Dec 2023 (see here). The Reddit Exodus was in summer 2023.
Thanks 👍
