Is there a place to watch lemmy user numbers in real time? interested to see if there’s a spike as users try out something else with their new free time.

I joined lemmy when they killed Apollo. Should have done it so much sooner, this is way better!
Before Reddit killed Apollo, Lemmy was really lacking in daily content. Now we’ve reached a point where I can open the app multiple times a day and see new content.
I think there were a lot of issues around trending older posts eclipsing newer posts meaning older posts stayed on the front page too long. That seems to have improved recently though
It was the same for me. I think joined the same day. To be honest, I haven’t looked back at reddit. I enjoy the communities here, and some devs to great work on apps like memmy and mlem. Both feature a lot of Apollo App.
I quit the moment Baconreader could no longer fetch API and deleted my 10 yr account. Lemmy is amazing, especially in its potential down the road in my view.
I only used Reddit thanks to Sync. Credit to the dev as they announced they were moving to Lemmy as part of their last update. I thought, what is Lemmy? Let me try it out.
Now I’m here. If it wasn’t for Spez being an idiot killing the APIs, I wouldn’t have known Lemmy existed. So for the first and only time, that’s Spez for encouraging me find something better.
