Pretty sure Lemmy is getting a ton of reddit users now that they pretty much ruined the user experience by making 3rd party app developers to pay money to use their api.

First, it is not just lemmy, it is the fediverse (replying to you from kbin.social - my preferred cup of tea). Second, I see that the mostly good people/posters are leaving Reddit, I do not see, for example, personal attacks when people disagree here in fediverse, I see no removed/moderated comments or posts. I am sure it happens here too, it is just so rare… it reminds me of the days of mass migration from digg. So, at least for now I think this is great, and it separates people who are ready to stand for principles from the rest. Welcome.

The devs have been working their butts off. They make post with complete transparency about their growing pains. The devs of leemy.world and others get together and troubleshoot as a team, especially lemmy.ml. everything is posted on GitHub. It's awesome to see and support. I've been here for about four weeks now, and it has been fun to watch it grow, and participate in the user community.

Lemmy and Kbin are actually completely different apps, like Lemmy and Mastadon, but they can federate with each other through the Activity Pub protocol, and they both happen to be aiming to be Reddit replacements. (Kbin is also aiming to have some Twitter-like functionality as well.) I like the way Kbin sorts its posts better, but I like Lemmy's terminology more. I don't mind either of their UI.

It's different software displaying the content. Like if you used either Outlook, Gmail, or Thunderbird to show email. You can go to kbin.social and compare it to what you've got. There's also a bunch of scripts posted in kbinStyles to further customize the looks (that might be wrapped into later versions of kbin perhaps).

From my limited understanding they're all based on activitypub, so the way we interact and generate content is the same. The difference is the UI and implementation of features outside of activitypub

Niceeee, lets go to 1mil. Although not sure how some community members will react to the threads issue. I saw many people did not like the fact you have not yet decided to defederate

Wait, this instance only started on June 1? How did it grow so quickly compared to the rest?

A lot of subreddits moved to Lemmy.world so in turn I think a lot of the reddit migration ended up here (myself included). Mastodon.world already had a large user base so it probably just made sense to rely on their new lemmy instance to handle the new users. Other instances like lemmy.ml sort of froze new signups at the time so that also funneled more users this way.

It was the first to throw some real money behind it's server infrastructure. A month ago most Lemmy instances - even the "big" ones ran on $10 a month 2 vCPU VPSs.

There was another influx early in June when the API changes were announced but before the blackouts even happened.

Most instances with public signups started struggling but Lemmy.world launched and Ruud upgraded the server hardware almost daily to keep up.

Other instances even had to pause signups from time to time but world kept working and so gobbled up most signups on those days.

Once it got to be a top 3 instance and then top 2 and then first it became a self sustaining snowball as a lot of people chose the biggest instance by default.

Being general-purpose, having easy sign-up without needing an "application" or manual approval, and having decent reliability/uptime.

@MicroWave Wow it has grown very quickly. Last time I checked a few weeks ago I think it was around 30k

Very happy for Lemmy.world.

I have accounts on both Lemmy.ca and Lemmy.world and have been using both the past few weeks as servers struggled to handle the influx of users.

Not sure where I will end up but it's nice to have choices and so good to see the success.

At the beginning of the great migration, they got overwhelmed by troll harras accounts, that used lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works open registration to evade bans. A lot of vile stuff got posted (like photos of murdered drag queens). They decided to defederate from both instances temporarily until they have better mod tools. I don't think it was necessary but they do that they think is the best for their community. At that point Beehaw had some of the best communities through and many people were angry to get kicked out for something that wasn't their fault.

Its mostly because they defederated from lemmy.world. Meaning you dont really get to interact with them. You can see their posts and comments, they cant see yours.
