On the Lemmy specific front, Active daily users seems to still be stabilising following the exodus from elsewhere, Comments and Posts both seem to be on the rise though – promising stats all in all.
Lemmy is home now. Loving it here.
Fediverse now well past 12 Million total daily users

I had been using Masotodon as my main social media before, but gladly find myself on Lemmy a whole lot more. Masotodon is certainly not my type of social media, the Twitter format and lack of algorithm kills it for me. Lemmy fills that Reddit gap, and Sync makes it feel like I’m on Reddit again. Though the website has a long ways to go. Lemmy still has a lot of features to go and things to figure out to be a Reddit killer, but I feel confident we’ve hit a healthy size and are relatively stable right now.
Biggest thing I think that needs to get worked on though is to give smaller communities better visibility. You almost never see them because they get buried by the popular communties.
I’m not sure how Reddit did it, but they’d show smaller communities to show up on Hot feed pretty often to give them more exposure. We need a form of that.

I’m with you. I recently jumped on mastodon and can’t get into the Twitter style. I follow a few things of interest but it’s like comparing cable TV programming with Netflix, I don’t want to be told what to watch but I need a nudge and structure to wade around in (if that makes sense).
elbarto777@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Lack of algorithm? Sign me up!!!
StoicLime@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Its not as good as it sounds. There should be some kind of sorting. I follow #food but I get low-quality content of any random user taking a picture of their refrigerator at the top of my feed just because they posted 1s ago.
Kelteseth@feddit.de 1 year ago
One thing you can do is to subscribe to tags (does not work in the Android app) when searching for them. Then you will get more than just the posts you subscribed to. This is somewhat ok, but I also would like a feed for things I could be interested in…
Rambler@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I wasn’t even aware lemmy had tags. Never used it on pc.
notabird@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Chronological timeline doesn’t really work unless you build a highly curated list. Not many people used Twitter that way.
Clipboards@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Fuck yeah. Special shout-out to Sync for Lemmy for reeling me back in as a daily user.
JustAThought@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I just came from Reddit, and I hear a lot about Sync. Anyone willing to let me know what it is and how it is important to Lemmy?
westyvw@lemm.ee 1 year ago
It’s just another third party app. But it has made the transition from a reddit app to a lemmy app.
Anything was better than reddit official app which was garbage. I preferred Relay. But for people used to sync, it is familiar and a smooth experience here like they were used to there.
For lemmy I prefer Jerboa an open source app, but sync is free to try as well (although it had ads).
pomodoro_longbreak@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
I’ve been having to watch my social media usage again. Which is bittersweet.
Clipboards@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Haha, I’m right there with you. I’m off Twitter & Reddit, I had no alternatives until Sync came back…
badbytes@lemm.ee 1 year ago
As a person who recently left one community, and found lemmy, I’m very thankful.
cloudy1999@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Agreed, I sure am glad Lemmy was here to catch us. What would we have done if it hadn’t been ready and waiting?
DefyTheLegends@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Based on the usual suspects from that one sub dedicated to alternatives: tildes, mastodon, or maybe one of the few devs who somehow managed to build their own alternative from ground up in a few weeks (how though?). The true question is, whether or not these other options would be worthwhile replacements and retain the refugees.

You need to put the URLs between parentheses instead. Or simply just paste the URLs directly without any markdown.

What are the differences between our links, as I don’t see any at all?
Would embed a picture If I could but on mobile currently.

Wow its Crazy, I think this is the end of an era for centralized social media. #fuckyoufacebook #fuckyoureddit #fuckyoutwitter
koorool@feddit.de 1 year ago
Most people don’t care about ethics /politics or the networks and corporations. They will use what’s convenient — familiar facebook where friends and family already are, instagram where you get (this frustrates me the most) announcements from cool places about events, twitter where shitshtorms and instant news happen and so on.
None of my friends moved or know about Fediverse. Some heard about Mastodon.
yoz@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Well then you got a job to do. Send them meme links from lemmy , mastodon etc . The curious ones will find their way to fediverse.
Diplomjodler@feddit.de 1 year ago
We got almost one percent of their users. Yay. Those fuckers are not going away any time soon. The best we can hope for is having a usable alternative here that can resist enshittification a bit longer.
Rambler@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Also, fuck anyone that looks like you!
yoz@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Hahaa…you can also put a face using any .webp file so that I can say fuck you too. Easy to do it using a PC
jeffw@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Just to clarify, this wouldn’t account for people making multiple accounts, right? I know people who have a mastodon, kbin, and Lemmy account.
GonzoVeritas@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It most likely triple counts users like me. I have a Mastodon, kbin, and Lemmy account, (all under the same username), but those would be counted as 3 Fediverse accounts. I think the metrics to look at are posts and comments.
Navarian@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Hey, honestly I’m unsure. Though my gut instinct would be that it does include those instances, hadn’t considered it.
OpenStars@kbin.social 1 year ago
The number of users dropping in June when many bot accounts were removed, and then rising again at the same time that >1500 new servers were added, while MAU does not rise at the same rate, seems to suggest that many are in fact likely bots?
However, the MAU is rising, so that indeed is a sign of health even if the precise amount of traffic by humans is unknown.
And bot accounts serve useful purposes too, sometimes posting more worthwhile content than many humans.:-)
Fizz@lemmy.nz 1 year ago
The user numbers on every site includes multiple accounts.

It’s been great seeing the community grow. Hope this keeps up at a sustainable rate until Lemmy/Mastodon/Pixelfed/etc. become mainstays.
squidzorz@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Comments and Posts both seem to be on the rise
I think this trend will continue for a bit as more mobile apps get created and become more popular.
tpfm@lemmy.world 1 year ago
10 milloin are Mastodon users
cheery_coffee@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Mastodon is great!
Lemmy and kbin are getting there now that apps are coming out.
realSpez@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Awesome, let’s keep those numbers rising!
jediToru@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
The content coming in lately has been awesome. Let’s go…
Speculater@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’m posting as much as I can!
m3t00@lemmy.world 1 year ago
if you find your instance unavailable jump to another. not at all like the old Tw down days. Thanks Fediverse
sarcasticsunrise@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I’m so damn happy to be here for it. This place just feels like the back in the day kind of internet. Lemmy 4 Lyfe like I say, yes yes
AlmightySnoo@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Does this include the spammy instances?
TIEPilot@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Congrats!
Now if we can only keep the bots at bay!
