From 3000 daily users to 41000 active daily users!
Finally, a useful stats as total user count skewed by bot spam.
Speaking of bots, they are still inactive aren’t they?For the most part they seem to be. There’s an instance with like 50k “users” but only 10 active, which tells me the bots are registering but most aren’t being used yet.
It is a bit unnerving to have bots to human ratio that high on the network. I hope they will never activated and many compromized servers get cleaned before something bad happens.

What are they up to out there…
Even if they do activate. Can’t we just defederate that entire instance. From what I have seen. Most of the bots are on instances with like 10 posts. We should just defederate all of those instances in which the user count is exponentially higher than the user activity.
You happy with this stat, @ulu_mulu@lemmy.world?
To the moon!
Haha :D
Thanks for listening :)
Happy to please!
I’m happy too. Thanks for asking 🙄
The power of collaboration
On the first I expect a huge jump.
Yeah, I’d imagine so. I’m only briefly checking reddit now, and that’s only through Relay. The second that becomes unavailable, I am officially done.
Just joined. I really hope this kicks off, because it would be sad to see reddit prosper after all the greedy nonsense.
Same feeling here, let’s hope lemmy gains enough traction so that it can at least be self-sustainable and independent of reddit’s dramas
You picked a good instance with lemmy.world because there’s a lot of local activity already. That should keep you busy until you want to start interacting with other lemmy instances.

Those are rookie numbers, the fediverse must grow ✌🏻👀
Yeah and you’re already helping that growth by being here and contributing!
awesome. moved here a couple of days ago. like it here. but please improve the ios app
I don’t post much other than memes but I comment lots and try to upvote quality posts. Reddit is dead to me, I spend too much of my time on social medias anyways.
@Cybermass @MicroWave My rule of thumb for all social media is:
How much of my life am I spending watching others live theirs?
It’s a unique ‘tipping point’ for each person, but once reached it’s time to log off and pursue other endeavors.
Welcome to your new addiction.
Much better statistic than total users due to all the spam bots recently created.
What is the evidence that they are bots and not people who just lurk?
50 thousand registered users all at once on an instance with no posts and no activity. Lurkers usually don’t need to make accounts. It’s very suspicious.
There are servers with 6-7 thousands accounts all created almost at the same time and no user activity at all.
Did lurkers decide to select some servers to be “lurking-only” servers? Hardly.
This website recommends a random server for people to join: https://join-lemmy.org/instances. Could that be the reason?
Random servers are not always the same, recommendations change in time based on servers activity.
Lurkers don’t organize themselves to all go to the same servers.
Yeah I think so too, at least until the bots activate.
Begun, the clone wars have
I didn’t think I would get on with Lemmy but it’s actually really good!
Welcome! Thoughts so far?
Next part of the Fediverse I’d like to see grow like that is PeerTube, so we can flip the Red Site a (few thaousands of) middle finger.
I think that is more complicated, as the channels need to generate revenue. Additionally, videos take up much more storage, and there is no option to select an instance like Lemmy. I only see options to selfhost.
I’m not sure what you mean about no option to select an instance. Here is an example instance with open signups: https://libre.video. You can find more here: https://the-federation.info/platform/29
Youtubers could gradually switch to PeerTube by uploading videos to both sites for now. They would make money the same way they do currently - through sponsorships and donations. I’m sure many of them can afford to host their own instance.
You can even subscribe to a PeerTube channel from Mastodon and get a toot when a video is posted. Like I just did with @arthurpizza channel ;-)
Thanks for the correction!
Surprising it’s gained this much traction, considering Reddit literally doesn’t allow this site to be linked on their platform (which is honestly so petty)
Explains why I don’t see lemmy links over there. spez did say he admires Elon, so that makes a lot of sense.
Is there something I’m missing here?
About what? Sorry if what I said didn’t make sense.
You said this had something to do with Spez admiring Elon, I don’t use Twitter or know a lot about the guy. So I just feel like I’m missing something here.
Twitter was also removing links to Mastodon when people were leaving there. Im not sure if they still do, as I haven’t opened Twitter in over a year.
Oh that. I hate linking to Twitter, but here’s a quick summary of what I meant: https://twitter.com/MattBinder/status/1669800835843235845
It’s good to see. On June 30/July 1 we’re likely to see another big influx of users when the Reddit API changes go into effect and Apollo et al shut down.
Yep looking forward to it.
I just joined last night after leaving Reddit for green pastures here and am happy to support the site.
Really neat to be along for the ride. Hopefully this momentum continues and the whole “There’s no viable alternative” narrative is emphatically proven both false and idiotic.
Change can be tough for a lot of people, but lately I’ve seen fewer redditors dissing on alternatives .
