    Lemmy is more polished and populated now than before. Hope influx stays and we got all the real people from reddit and bots stay there.

    Yeah in a few days I’m going to delete my Reddit account, liking this place so far, you get news and genuine discussion.

    I’ll just say, the more I hang around Lemmy, the more I enjoy the genuine conversations. It feels like less snark, less joke replies, and just a generally more community-type feeling. Reminds me of when I first tried Reddit after leaving Digg way back when.

    Hopefully, us exiles can leave the Reddit back at Reddit.

      I feel the exact same, and I’ve been hanging around here for almost two years (the great 3rd party app exodus of ‘23).

      This place feels more like a community filled with people versus a firehose of internet wrapped in layers of corporate and right wing BS.

      Reddit was almost exclusively read-only for me. Here, I am commenting all the time.

        This is one of the reasons I stayed. It was still small enough back then that you actually started to recognize people you had conversations with, and not just the troll farms.

      I find a bunch of snark here, but it absolutely feels more genuine. With reddit it felt like half the comments I saw were from bots. More than half, maybe.

      Monthly Average Users

      as opposed to DAU (Daily) or WAU (Weekly)

      For a live product, the number of average users / time is a pretty telling metric.

      I wonder what the arc will look like this time.

    Wow. And we’re almost at the halfway point of the month. I wonder if we’ll reach 100k at eom.

    Woo! That’s awesome. I am seeing quite a few more people.

    We are already successful, I’m seeing stories, news articles, and videos that normally would never get pushed to the top. We can actually talk about things without overwhelming censorship, strange algorithms, or ads.

    To anyone new wondering about phone apps for Lemmy, I use “Thunder” and it works great.

    Also, feel free to say Luigi without getting banned.
