I’ve noticed that Lemmy is getting more and more usable as more users join and add more content.
Um, I am desperate for them to fix their main page algorithm. I browse Lemmy cause fuck Reddit, but the main page is mostly useless.
Try sorting by “Top Day” if you haven’t already until it’s fixed.
New is good
New is only good in small communities. A feed with, I’m guessing, 10,000+ users, it’s a challenge to read titles before new posts causes them to scroll off the screen.
The jump is caused by Spez being a twat.
I love this because more people will comment. A majority of my time on Reddit was reading through comments and hearing all of people’s interesting takes and learning random information. The daily increase is fun to watch especially since I’m not the one maintaining the servers!
totally agree. I’ve been trying to engage more myself to encourage others to do the same
Yeah I learned so much reading other people’s comments, so I’m trying to recreate that on this site.
This is probably just the first big wave. The biggest will be when the apps themselves actually shut down - fence sitters will then have to make a choice to download the official app or try an alternative and I think a lot of people will be curious to see if the grass is greener.
The grass is always greener where one side has grass and the other side is a desolate nuclear wasteland created by the incompetence of the land owner.

I haven’t “left” Reddit yet, but I also have been avoiding the site as much as possible. If they’re going to be a terrible site, the least I can do is try to avoid going on and making them money from ads.
Or at least only doing so at home where I have my PiHole box to remove them.
Yeah, the drama over there is pure reality TV level right now.
Wow, that bad, eh? Haven’t been there for a month now. Just bot accounts everywhere?
I’m attempting to move on from Reddit. Heard good things about Lemmy. I’m checking things out.
Someone mentioned it on a Reddit post about mods so I’m giving it a go. Stopped Twitter a while back and don’t use Facebook. I like the concept of aggregated content around topics I’m interested in just not by evil companies.
/u/spez brought us here.
Thanks spez!
Think he has an account here to check it out? I hope he does and sees this: Fuck. You.
In another way: “Thank you and fuck you /u/spez, I hope your IPO crashes and burns.”
I joined a couple days ago. I decided to just sign up and jump in. Everyone else doing it, why can’t I?
Glad you made the switch
This is my first post, I just signed up. I was on reddit from the early days. I liked it then a lot more. This has that feel. I also like that it is open source - hopefully that will bring more developers.
Soon we will look back amazed at these growing little numbers. They’re growing quickly but I expect it to grow by one or two more orders of magnitude over the coming months!

Ljdawson said he was making sync for Lemmy so I signed up
I use RIF exclusively on mobile. I never use reddit from my computer. The interface isn’t all that different from RIF when on mobile, so I’m giving it a shot. Lots of the other places listed as “reddit alternatives” were mostly just discussion and not community focused and link sharing sites. I like it so far. (my first post!)
I’ve been thinking about joining for the last few weeks. The reason I did today was because the developer of my favorite app (sync) announced they would be releasing a lemmy version
