Lemmy.world grew from around 51000 total users the moment 3rd party reddit apps started to shut down on June 30 to 71000 total users at the time of this post (July 1). That's a 40% growth in about 12 hours!

Welcome new reddit expats!

You can really tell, as posts that used to have 1-2 comments now have 4-5. It's nice chatting with y'all

The future is looking bright

Using Wefwef myself and lemmy.zip...both have been snappy as I was accustomed to using Apollo.

Glad to see folks coming over here, definitely shaping up into a preferable alternative :)

This is my first comment on Lemmy. I'm still learning the ropes but about to nuke my 10 year old reddit account with probably at this point tens of thousands of comments - content for Reddit.

What app are you guys using for Lemmy now ? I'm on Jerboa . I find it laggy while scrolling. What's a better alternative?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Connect for Lemmy is amazing.

There's also wefwef, which seems to be a clone of Apollo.

Popular Reddit apps like Sync and Boost are currently in the process of making Lemmy ports.

It’s weirdly exciting to have a fresh start on a new platform. Hoping to see those numbers continue to grow!

I'm here after ten years with Baconreader. Really sad it's gone, but I'm super hopeful about my future here! If anyone knows of any communities that enjoy watches or fountain pens, let me know!

Crazy!! I don't envy the admins lol, tho they're doing a fantastic job in keeping the server up.

I just joined and so far I'm really liking it. Gonna have to figure out the new format these instances, but I'm up for it!

Glad to be here and be a part of the community! It's unfortunate Reddit is going the way of Digg, but definitely looking forward to watching Lemmy grow and develop.

I have slowly been trying to redo my frontpage here and so far with all those migration links it's been a breeze
