Whatever the number, I've definitely noticed in the past few days that there are getting to be enough people having conversations and posting content for this place to feel like a legit community instead of a ghost town. I'm really glad to see more people joining and taking part.

[–] MicroWave@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Agreed. It's really nice to see top posts having a lot of thoughtful engagement. Hopefully we'll have enough to start seeing people branching out to smaller niche communities too.

For example, your comment is the first one I have seen that has over 30 upvotes since I came on board a week back.

Line goes up?

You failed to continue multiplicative growth therefore your investors are going to pull their money... Wait there are no investors, there is no ipo. I'm going to donate 10$.

We'll know Lemmy truly is the future when we have the first shittymorph post.

How easy is it!

I just used my Reddit name and continued here.

No effort what so ever.

Bit to wrap my head around the idea of subs being completely different communities on different servers, but I LIKE that idea.... no Fascist Overlords to control the groupthink.

I guess (if this is how the Lemmyverse/Fediverse works) is some AWS/cloud instances are going to be spun up hard and fast!

I don't doubt there's a great amount of user growth, but it appears that many of those are account creation spam on instances with 1 active monthly user though.

Edit to add a comment I made on another post Basically there might be about 200k real users right now including lurkers, growing at a rate of basically 13.5k per day.

@MicroWave
There is a huge bot issue right now (started 3 days ago). All the numbers are worthless.

It’s a known issue, all admins should add captcha to the subscription page, delete the bots and re-compute the actual number of users. Unless we do that, we won’t have a correct number.

We can still look at the Monthly Active Users. Bots don’t post (yet)

Ngl, I'm gonna miss these early days I think. Hopefully we have instilled some type of decent, thoughtful culture on here that can keep us grounded and keep flourishing.

I really like getting in on these big threads later at night when everyone is chopping it up and making me think.

Sadly those are bots, real amount of users is around 150k. Source: https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/post/176547

I understand the bot concern, but when I look at the comment and active user figures, they're all in the same trendline of exponential growth. This is the exodus just beginning. Personally I'm finding Lemmy to be a refreshing alternative that serves far better than what Reddit has become. I think it's what we've all been waiting for, and the secret's starting to get out.

I came here in search for an alternative for reddit. I am glad I found this place

[–] LarsElias@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Same, and I'm already loving this place

[–] AB7ORH7D@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

the interface is just so clean. it feels like early internet and I love it.

[–] loutr@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

Were you using new reddit? I don't find it that different from old.reddit (which is fine by me).

I wonder if these are real users or if someone wrote a script to register users via the lemmy API… 🤔

I think it's either bots or some spooky spammers that are falsely reporting the number of users. e.g. lemmy.k6qw.com currently claims to have 44k users with no posts...

So now I just gotta build up a new feed from scratch, that's the part that sucks the most. So many nice niche communities I've discovered over the years on reddit... But it was time, reddit has been going downhill for years.

Love it, and we’re not even at 1st July, when all 3rd party apps stop working (shame or not I still go back to reddit with Apollo to enjoy the drama).

Also, we don’t need 400 million users to have a variety of communities with good discussion and content - a few million is more than enough, probably.

@MicroWave the fact that there are almost a million people that are users on lemmy shows that there are a million more on the fediverse as a whole. i am very glad lemmy federated on activitypub. so i can use mastodon to communicate to lemmy communities.

[–] balrog@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I joined in the last few days. Seems like this site has much better content. Less bots and reposts. Plus, the user base seems a lot more intelligent in general at this point.

[–] Botree@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

This is my first post on Lemmy and I just want to say that I'm so happy to be here guys. Finally my dream of seeing a decentralized social media platform gaining unprecedented traction is coming true.

I'm super excited for Sync for Lemmy.

Also tinfoil hat on for a second. If there are really as many bots as people keep suggerting. Who has an interest in sabotaging lemmy?

But then it's probably the same bits which are everywhere now interested in lemmy because it gained users.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I assume its a target for bots because its a lie hanging fruit.

Also it's harder to find bots down the road

[–] Wander@yiffit.net 3 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Notice the disparity between monthly active users and registered users. These are bots. I'm very tempted to block these instances outright.
