Lemmy just reached a new milestone: 1 million posts, across 1,323 servers.
The jump in posts over the last month is incredible. I find Lemmy quickly replacing Reddit which is great.
This comment is so good it has -1 downvotes
It just definitely needed to hit a critical mass. Enough that people had enough to read, stick around, and post themselves. Which in turn created a place that new people felt had enough content.
I thought I was gonna be able to quit Reddit full time. Didn’t look for a few days, then did. Still check since some niche communities aren’t over here (or active) yet so I have to go there. But I only still check every few days (I was a several time a day redditor so usage is down) and I’ll check Lemmy at least once or twice a day now.
Yeah same, most communities i frequent on Reddit haven’t transitioned yet or is still tiny so I kinda juggle between the two apps.
Lemmy is nice for tech and nerdy subreddits but that’s pretty much it rnow
Same. Last night i went in and deleted all of my subscriptions except for the 3 i really want to keep checking in on.
I quit Reddit cold turkey. I miss sports talk and some of the gaming and workout subreddits though.
Not just number but quality. It was all memes at the start, now actual conversation is happening in more than just a few posts.
We all need to post this on reddit. Spread the word that this platform is booming and more people will come over!
It’s insane how well this timeline syncs with reddit’s API bs!
From the very first day spez announced the API changes and steadily increasing until most of the 3pa shut down then BAM. Good for Lemmy and hopefully bad for reddit!
I literally only tried Lemmy because of the RIF goodbye message. I’m here because for me, Reddit was Reddit Is Fun.
Same here, but for boost. I never heard of Lemmy until boost for Lemmy was announced.
Same except for me its BoostforReddit.
Hype for Boost for Lemmy
So hope e creater of RIF creates LIF.
How tf did you make your name like that???
Did somebody say sync…
I definitely held out thinking they would change their mind about the API but day finally came and I made a Lemmy account and didn’t look back
Just joined. Can’t wait for Boost for Lemmy

The graphic seems to be like a wallstreetbets launch.
Since the 30th I’ve stopped going on reddit, but I must admit I still don’t participate here as much because the content I’m seeing it’s not as tailored to my interests as I’d like. Searching for communities tends to show a lot of communities with no participation at all, which is useless.
Also wished there was a video player. Being constantly redirected to youtube is a bit annoying.
But I’m very happy with Memmy for Lemmy. Not as polished as Apollo, but close enough. And Lemmy feels freer from bot/ai/ad content, and that is worth gold.
well, communities without participants is not Lemmy’s fault.
Although I do share the same experience. Euro communities are almost dead. Escooter community has like 5 members lol.
Leaving a comment to say I was here in the making of internet 3.0
We did it Lemmy! We’ve reached an arbitrary number of posts.
Yay! I’m a happy bangwagoner :)
