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!
Just made the jump - this is my first comment on Lemmy. Here’s to a solid alternative!
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.
spez a real one fr
As a new user from reddit, wanted to say thanks for welcoming us and working hard to accommodate us!
Lots of us new folks around! Also great there are so many apps being developed for Lemmy. Although the web UI is also pretty good.
First comment for me! 11 years on Reddit, never talked much but lurked a lot. I can’t use their official app so I’m here now and looking forward to see the community grow!
I mostly lurked on Reddit too but I’ve been trying to engage with this place as much as possible in order to help it grow.
Just registered about a week ago, Lemmy feels like Reddit was like when Digg died.

I see we still have repeating comments around here lol
Yeah, it happened with one of mine too. It’s like Connect had a seizure or something. Might happen with this one as well
I finally made an account after things got stable. A +1 for the active user count. I mainly lurk, but it’s actually compelling to engage here.
This is my first comment on Lemmy. I’m still learning the ropes but about to nuke my 10 year old reddit account with probably at this point tens of thousands of comments - content for Reddit.
I joined Reddit when Digg made some drastic mistakes. Not sure Lemmy will be the answer, here I am regardless.
I’m also a former Snoo
Came to know about Lemmy when Sync for reddit dev put notice on their app, joined same day. Waiting for Sync for Lemmy. Hi my fellow fedophiles.
I’m here after ten years with Baconreader. Really sad it’s gone, but I’m super hopeful about my future here! If anyone knows of any communities that enjoy watches or fountain pens, let me know!

Is this just a pun or is there a way to support this instance? (Is that the right word for lemmy.world? Still trying to figure this out a little)

It’s me! I’m one of the new joiners! I’ve been enjoying the content and discussion here in the last day since I created my profile here. I have noticed a bit of lag and issues with things loading. I know there was a software update and obviously a sudden influx of new users. As frustrating as it was to have to move apps and communitie and despite the obvious growing pains, I have been happy to find a new community that is friendly and vibrant as this one!
We definitely felt the ship groaning through all this. Thankfully the Ruud-er skillfully navigated through this, and the software update on top.
Anyways, welcome to Lemmy 17!
I’m so glad the auto refresh bug on the main page is finally gone after the software update.
Yeah, it was REALLY weird bug!
Would it be too dramatic to say it’s changed my life?
It made me whole again
As fellow former Redditors we should understand server issues

I’m not your guy, pal.
Ahh, look at that reply string we started. It’s feeling like home around here already.
And my axe!
Edit: Thanks for the gold, kind stranger!
First comment on Lemmy. Is there a ELI5 for Lemmy to help us get started?
Just dropped in after saying goodbye to reddit is fun recently. seeing people move here gives me hope! Excited to see what comes out of this :)
