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

    Not just number but quality. It was all memes at the start, now actual conversation is happening in more than just a few posts.

    Good point! I’m hoping for some of the more niche communities to start becoming more active. Things are trending in the right direction though.

    They will. My experience community building thus far is that if you can build up one anchor community to the point where people are organically sharing content and commenting, other adjacent communities will start to generate the same sorts of things with smaller subscriber bases because that anchor community is keeping people's eyes here. Just a question of time.

    Speaking of sharing content, is there a way to crosspost around here yet?

    Yes, when you make a post look at the line where the 'save post' button is at the bottom of the entry. There will be two overlapping squares. That's the crosspost button.

    Never noticed that. Do any apps feature it too?

    On Eternity, I have the three dot menu above posts that has 'Crosspost' as an option.

    I'm usually a lurker, but I decided to just go ahead and make one that I was missing. Something about personally wanting Lemmy to grow is motivating to me.

    I made an XCOM community on Lemmy.world, and even though I'm the only one posting so far, it's fun to watch the subscriber count grow. Already at 50!

    Please definitely don't be discouraged in the slightest, TPM.

    Single-game forums were almost always the smallest gaming subreddits on Reddit, often times being several orders of magnitude smaller than the "gaming in general" communities.

    But that special feeling of having other people passionate about that specific game you love can't be beat. Hang in there, and you'll definitely grow and get that engagement in time.

    It just definitely needed to hit a critical mass. Enough that people had enough to read, stick around, and post themselves. Which in turn created a place that new people felt had enough content.

    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!

    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!

    We did it Lemmy! We've reached an arbitrary number of posts.

  • source
  • [–] 3 points 2 years ago

    Keep growing that number!

    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.

    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.

    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).

    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
