Lemmy.world grew by about 40% on the first day of reddit migration

3 years ago by MicroWave to c/fediverse

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!

It’s so wonderful that Reddit, by making a decision that benefits no user/mod/sub, and actively harms users/mods/subs, all in the name of corporate greed, gave Lemmy the boost it needed to become a viable alternative to Reddit.

Thank you, Spez. We couldn’t have done this without you.

I didn't do it till last minute cause I'm lazy and hate creating accounts for every little thing these days (though I definitely prefer a new account than login with Google or whatnot). However I loved Reddit is Fun and the CEO has made some less than satisfactory decisions so it was time to pull up stakes and move on, again, though 15 years since the Digg move it had it's time, now for something else. I thought it was amusing I didn't even realize spez was the CEO till this recent but, I just always saw him posting but never commenting so I ignored him years ago. Figure you should do more than spam links on these sites.

I made a Lemmy account a couple weeks ago and started getting familiar with the fediverse. Then I decided to create a different user on Lemmy.world so I think I registered this one yesterday.

For the last 30 days I’ve still used Reddit because it has the most activity and it’s been like “this is the last time!!” kinda feels. But now I’ve discovered wefwef, and I’m not going to be using Reddit anymore so here I am.

I think a lot of people are similar…nostalgia and ease of use kept everyone mostly using Reddit and now the people who care about the whole issue will start contributing here.

This is beautiful to see - I understand Reddit is a company that needs to make a profit, but the way they have treated their users and unpaid staff is shocking (but not unexpected). The fact it also heavily impacts users with additional accessibility requirements is terrible.

Will be fun in a way to watch Reddit try to claw back what has happened.

Give it 12 months it will likely be a wreck along with the current CEO who will probably be given the boot.

I'm old enough to have seen many services go through this: AOL, MSN, MySpace, Fark, Slashdot, Digg, Something Awful, etc. Reddit (and maybe Twitter) are just next in line to realise they are not too big to fail. Hopefully followed by Meta.

I am one of those people who migrated as I grew up with an internet that was full of small communities and interesting content uncontrolled by greedy corporations. When I found Reddit back in 2012, I thought it was amazing and going to be a bastion of information for a modern internet. Well, now we know that wasn't the case thanks to chasing the almighty dollar. Hopefully this is the point in time where we can steer this ship around and bring the control back to the users.

I peeked around a bit with Connect (android) for a while, and the things that stood out the most to me was the small size and sluggishness of the whole thing. BUT what also stuck out far more were pins of maintenance because of growth & updates of constant hard work to increase performance, and an interface that (while slightly jank) is infinitely superior to the official reddit app. It's good to see continued growth, especially in such a welcoming community. The problems are providing to be simple growing pains and it's great to be here.

It's astounding, seeing how fast new communities are being founded and populated. I'm not much of a "community starter" type, but I'm quite excited to find a new home for the shitpost-tier OC I make. I'm also sincerely fascinated to see how all these new places coexist/cross-pollinate.

Congratulations to the instance for it's extraordinary growth!

Welcome everyone who popped over from reddit.

It's important to remember you're on the fediverse, a huge variety of websites running all sorts of software of which lemmy.world is just one server, and Lemmy itself is just one piece of software. There's many other reddit-alikes like Lemmy, as well as software like Twitter, or Instagram, or Facebook, or YouTube.

Decentralization is strength. Try to spread out over instances with our users and our communities because instances can and do shut down, shut off federation, or otherwise become reddit.

This is supported by admins and users, there is no pot of venture capital money keeping instances running or paying admins. Keep that in mind.

Yeah, I don't think we can say there is a first day. More like there are waves. We could tentatively say the first one was around the black out. Although, there may have been some smaller waves before that. The next big one is the API-ocalypse. The next big one after that will be when the reddit executives fire their foot shotgun again.

Maybe yes. Personally it’s not even necessarily about ads for me, it’s the character of the ownership of the platform.

Spez is going the way of Musk and Zuckerbot. It was time to bite the bullet and try something entirely different.

I haven’t quite got the hang of this or Mastodon yet, and it’ll probably take a lot of time, but it’s ticking a whole lot of boxes so far.

Also oddly, you’re even being welcoming. Even the fellow ex redditors. Perhaps it’s refugee mentality. :)

Good to see Lemmy grow, but I hope that the decentralization will work out so that the large influx of new users will spread out as evenly as possible.

Trying Connect on Android and it seems to be the best so far. I thought Summit was lacking and Jerboa looks worse imo. This one is just lacking some small qol features that would go a long way like how images and comment threads are handled.

I'm using connect as well, seems like the best of the current options. The way the comments are indented and colored reminds me of one of the Reddit Android apps, maybe relay

Yeah, other than Jerboa, most of these apps have been built from scratch or retooled in the last few weeks. I tried Liftoff, it's decent, but I think wefwef is the cream of the crop so far.

Liftoff on Android has been better than jerboa for me, minor bugs which I'm sure will get fixed. My favorite reddit app was sync tho, so excited to see that when it releases.

I am suffering from the same issue. I opened my browser's devtools and noticed https://lemm.ee/static/e20bfa7/js/client.js is returning 404. So I turned on my VPN into a random other country (I chose Norway), and the issue stopped. Could it be that your CDN is not serving the client.js in some parts of the world?

I prefer to just block communities I don't like rather than having an instance decide for me. There were votes here so it's not like it was a sweeping decision, but I just block stuff I don't like. I'm not going to ask an instance to block NSFW content, I will do that myself, same with content that is spammy or I find detestable.

The thing is a lot of instances have multiple shitty communities.

You can block one, but then the same edgelords make a new community on their instance for the same bigotry.

Which leads users playing whack a mole.

I took a look at your instance tho, and I 100% understand why you'd be upset at this instance for defederating.

Not to mention how easy it is to just sign up for an account on whatever de-federated instance if you really want to... Liftoff by default looks to me like it makes it very easy to use multiple I stance accounts all at the same time for posting, commenting, voting, etc

Because of the common API, if this becomes the mode, I expect clients would allow you to sign into multiple instances in the same way that you can have multiple email accounts in the same app. I'm very curious how this plays out.
