I think it shows that the great migration from Reddit is actually happening. After the 1st of July, we can expect to see Lemmy growing even more since the changes on Reddit are gonna be in full effect.

This is great and exciting news, but we do need to keep things in perspective. Jumping to almost 48,000 daily active users is great, but Reddit has about 55 million. That's essentially a rounding error as far as Reddit is concerned.

People keep wishing death upon Reddit. I understand the emotion, but I wish Reddit a long life. Let it be the grease trap for doomscrollers, reposters, and political and corporate infiltration. I don’t want millions of people to join Lemmy. I want the mythical 1% active content creators to jump ship.

I am so glad that I am part of this project. Keep it up!

PS: I am here from Reddit. 💪

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'm here from reddit, too, so the number just went up one more.

When I first signed up two weeks ago, the highest-voted posts might have had about 20 upvotes. Now I am regularly seeing posts in the hundreds. It makes me wonder what the first post to reach 1000 upvotes will be?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (7 children)

Oh so lurkers aren't counted as active? That's even promising since many users on any site never comment or post.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Okay, here's my first comment.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Your comment was so insightful I just had to upvote it thus increasing 'engagement'. Am I helping?

Incredible. I'm posting content and comments here more than I was doing over there. Together we can do this!

Image Transcription: Line Graph


[A line graph is shown depicting the number of users on Lemmy over one month's time. The horizontal axis lists the date of each reading, with an interval shown for every day. The earliest date begins at '2023-05-28' and the most recent date is given as '2023-06-26'. The vertical axis measures the number of users, with intervals marked at every 5,000 users, with an upper limit of 50,000 users. There is a green trend like and a blue trend line graphed from plot points at every horizontal interval. The green line is labelled 'Active users monthly' shows increase over time. The line remains flat at approximately 1,000 users from the '05-28' date mark to the '05-31' mark, then begins to gradually increase to approximately 10,000 users, starting to show a trend similar to the beginning of an exponential growth curve. At the '06-11' date mark, the line begins increasing at a relatively steady rate, with the last marked date showing just over 45,000 users. There are two points in which the line shows an apparent indication of levelling off in user count, before then showing a sudden increase in users again, with neither of these points significantly impacting the overall upward trend. These points are at the dates '06-16' and '06-21'. The second graphed line, the blue line, is labelled 'Active Users Half year' and starts at approximately 3,000 users, but follows an almost identical trend shape as the green line as it increases approximately parallel to it. The blue line ends at around 48,000 users at the final graphed point.]

this keeps getting touted but isn’t it a huge number of bots causing the rise?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Bots have inflated the total users count (around 2.4 million), but they aren't active (yet). So for now active users is a recommended way to measure the fediverse. But once bots start posting, we'll have to find another way to track real user activity.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (4 children)

This is just really disappointing and gross. Is there any way to not have bots absolutely everywhere?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

Yeah, it's absolutely disappointing and gross. Bots have been actively probing for obscure instances without registration validation and flocking to them. Good thing the top real lemmy instances (like lemmy.world, lemmy.ml, beehaw.org, sh.itjust.works, lemmy.ca) have been much more vigilant about that.

So not even counting the lurkers

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Does this comment make me active now?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

That is correct. You would be counted in the next time they run the stats for this instance.

Let's goooo! Feeling like refugees fleeing war and finding a new home, far from conflict.

Anyone got a tutorial on deleting reddit comments and accounts?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

The only way to delete your content is to delete everything one-by-one. Then, you can delete your account. If you don't delete the content first, the content stays on the site but the authorship changes from your username to [deleted].
