The jump in posts over the last month is incredible. I find Lemmy quickly replacing Reddit which is great.

We all need to post this on reddit. Spread the word that this platform is booming and more people will come over!
Just don't post links. I tested it myself and they will shadow remove your comment.
I posted one yesterday on a major Subreddit. It did get a bit of hate. Couple of people signed up. Some of that hate seems to be bots, complaining that there’s no mobile app, and that it looks like old Reddit.
I’ll keep monitoring, to see if it gets shadow removed. I bet a lot of the major subreddits are running on skeleton crews, so they can’t get everything.
It's insane how well this timeline syncs with reddit's API bs!
From the very first day spez announced the API changes and steadily increasing until most of the 3pa shut down then BAM. Good for Lemmy and hopefully bad for reddit!
I literally only tried Lemmy because of the RIF goodbye message. I'm here because for me, Reddit was Reddit Is Fun.
I feel like when I browse All I still just see the same 20 posts
The default "Active" sort option does that. Try "Hot" instead.
Hype is real. Feels like this is the place to be. Reddit 2011 vibes with the high quality discussions. It'll only get better. To the fediverse and beyond!
fuck spez?.... /s
just keep making lemmy like sites better as reddit keeps getting shittier. i do hope reddit keeps making reddit worse.
Well count me in. It took me two weeks to successfully create an account, but it finally didn't crap out on me.
Maybe this is the good thing. Let Reddit stay filled with the lowest common denominator and divisive politics. Making Lemmy a little more hassle than the common user wants to experience to get into might be the only thing that keeps it from becoming the ban heavy echo chamber Reddit is.
It's funny, because it's not even a very hard barrier of entry to overcome, just takes some patience, but it's apparently enough to keep a lot of low effort content out.
Since the 30th I've stopped going on reddit, but I must admit I still don't participate here as much because the content I'm seeing it's not as tailored to my interests as I'd like. Searching for communities tends to show a lot of communities with no participation at all, which is useless.
Also wished there was a video player. Being constantly redirected to youtube is a bit annoying.
But I'm very happy with Memmy for Lemmy. Not as polished as Apollo, but close enough. And Lemmy feels freer from bot/ai/ad content, and that is worth gold.
Finally made the switch, looking forward to doom scrolling here :)
ABANDON ALL HOPELESSNESS YE WHO ENTER HERE
Really glad I get to witness history in the making. This is definitely the future and stoked to see it growing so quickly.
Holy fucking shit that's insane. What's wild is, if I understand it correctly, that's basically linear with how many users have joined, meaning people are posting more than ever before (on a per user basis).
It feels like it is possible to have a conversation here. In Reddit I felt like my comments were getting buried
Lemmy feels like Reddit 10-15 years ago, which is great.
I definitely held out thinking they would change their mind about the API but day finally came and I made a Lemmy account and didn't look back
