4 days before reddit's 3rd party app shutdown, Lemmy daily active users has skyrocketed 1600% this month
(lemmy.world)
From 3000 daily active users on June 1, 2023 to 47500 on June 26, 2023.
According to Lemmy's documentation, "An active user is someone who has posted or commented on our instance or community within the last given time frame."

It is very clear that new content per day has been steadily increasing the past 14 days.
Lemmy is no longer just promising, it is already good. With signs of getting even better.
With more active users, more niche communities should soon be able to do fine too.
I already didn't read past the first few hundred comments on reddit- Lemmy already feels almost as good to use, way more than mastodon did coming from Twitter.
Mastodon is simply not as good. Lemmy achieves its objectives very cleanly and seems to leverage ActivityPub the best in the fediverse by far.
Twitter is also focused around individuals. Reddit around communities. I believe different dynamics of those two are why Lemmy works better.
Watching the last 3 weeks has been exciting. Dead subs springing to life & much more content. New subs every single day.
