And we love you for it❤️
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.
Yeah in a few days I’m going to delete my Reddit account, liking this place so far, you get news and genuine discussion.
Please keep it, it can be useful to promote Lemmy a bit, like we do on !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Glad that you like it here!
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.
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 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
You know it’s bad for Reddit when people were even talking about going back to Digg
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

I’m in this picture and I like it!
People are finally done with reddit’s shit! Thank God and welcome
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.

Wow. And we’re almost at the halfway point of the month. I wonder if we’ll reach 100k at eom.
I’m calling this one the exodus of st mangione
Luigi Migratione
I like Lemmy, I like that the ratio of tankie scum to normal person is decreasing, but I really don’t like people who worship Luigi.
Have you considered reddit? I hear it’s a great platform for people without any sense of humour.
To anyone new wondering about phone apps for Lemmy, I use “Thunder” and it works great.
Also, feel free to say Luigi without getting banned.
Voyager also work good.
Yup that’s what I’ve been using. The only downside is it’s hard to know who responds to whom.
Or if you like it simple I can only recommend Jerboa
Just stay on the right side of pineapple on pizza.

You can just browse lemmy in a mobile browser like waterfox just fine…
I’ve just looked at my instance on both my app (Voyager) and my mobile browser (DDG)
The difference in presentation is stark.
Because 3rd party apps provide a native app experience to the mobile. Its far nicer to browser with all kinds of gestures than be limited to a 3rd party web browser
I havent used many instances but I’ve never used one which didn’t have a mobile site.
“Hello, HR!”
Nice
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.
Probably in the 0.19.3 changelog. There was a bump when LW changed, and I don’t think they’ve updated since
Good point
I guess some people get off on go team go, but to me looking at market share is very corporate thinking. If lemmy is better than reddit (which I think it is) it will grow, and that’s great. Whet I’m cheering for taking social media away from the business world by doing it better for free - whether that turns out to be lemmy or some other software.
