Created on June 1 of this year, lemmy.world quickly grew to 51k users and then blew up after reddit’s API debacle on July 1, doubling to a whopping 100k in just 9 days later!
Wasn’t lemmy.world only created in mid June?
June 1, I think. Hitting 100k users in just over a month is kind of intense.
Zuck, Spez, and Elon can suck my nuts!
Very nice! Long may it continue.
Tell me more about this “dong”
Haha me too :D
I dong my part for Lemmy.world everyday!!
Edit: awww he edited his post :/
Keep your dong to yourself
I am parting my do!
Would you like to know more?
The only good bud is a dead bug!
I’m from Beunos Aries and I say, kill them all!
I’m not going back to Reddit, that’s for sure. Unless…they come up with an i486 theme…🤔
Me neither!
That makes three of us!
Fantastic!
I hope it picks up speed so i get more content like on reddit but…yeah. im very happy with the switch and its only been a day for me.
What the hell ? Feels like it was sitting at 30k just a couple days ago, insane growth.
Long live lemmy, and death to Reddit!
Chef’s kiss 👩🍳
It’s been handled amazingly well on the whole, too!
glad to be a part of this community!
I’ve only been using Lenny for a day and a half, but I’ve been having a great time. The memes are 10/10 and everything else is coming together nicely. This is already my Reddit replacement, genuinely.
LETS GO LENNY!!!
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Lenny ftw, so much better than Reffit
Ha, I was laughing at someone else writing Lenny earlier. Never considered that it was just auto-correct and that I should be careful not to do the same 😅
Petition to change the lemmy.world logo to Lenny
Yes. Where do I sign lol
If lemmy goes in the wrong direction and everyone abandons (water)ship, Lenny would be a good pejorative. After all, who better to unwitting snap a rodent’s neck than Lenny?
Not Lenny!
I came due to protest, but staying for quality of fediverse users (posting from kbin)
I just signed up the other day once I discovered the dev for Sync was starting development on a Lemmy app.
I wanted to ask regular Lemmy users… What is your opinion on the influx of people from Reddit? Do you fear it will change the social atmosphere here, or do you welcome new users to the community?
I’ve seen plenty of posts venting about Reddit already, and I imagine that’ll probably get tiring really fast for long lasting Lemmy users (Lemmyers?)
First, it is not just lemmy, it is the fediverse (replying to you from kbin.social - my preferred cup of tea). Second, I see that the mostly good people/posters are leaving Reddit, I do not see, for example, personal attacks when people disagree here in fediverse, I see no removed/moderated comments or posts. I am sure it happens here too, it is just so rare… it reminds me of the days of mass migration from digg. So, at least for now I think this is great, and it separates people who are ready to stand for principles from the rest. Welcome.
I agree, the vibe has generally been more upbeat and optimistic, with the occasional venting. Thank you for the welcome! I’m still figuring out how the fediverse works, but it makes sense more or less. Hopefully more people can see the benefit of truly being in control of your content you put out, as well as the content that you see.
Yea so far it’s great. I’d imagine once it’s easier to access, well see a slow decline in quality discourse and content, but that’s all things, so I’m just enjoying the moment tbh.
hopefully the principles of federated networking will help keep that to a minimum though? It’ll be interesting to see how people that are used to Twitter/Reddit will adapt to their counterparts when theyre so used to being kept in a very defined box.
Vlemmy refugees flocking in?
