    The jump in posts over the last month is incredible. I find Lemmy quickly replacing Reddit which is great.

      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

      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 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

    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.
