minus-squareHTTP_404_NotFoundlinkfedilink7•2 years agoIn all fairness- I kind of want a bunch of the reddit users… to STAY on reddit, away from lemmy. The conversation quality recently on reddit has went WAAAY down.
minus-squareLabototmizedlinkfedilink5•2 years agoAnd the conversation quality in the fediverse is fantastic!
minus-square@fsk@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink5•2 years agoThat isn’t the way the Internet works. If the 220k lemmy users were the most active out of the 800m, then reddit is basically dead.
minus-square@Falmarri@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink4•2 years agoIs it really that high? That’s pretty impressive for what has it been, 2 weeks? I know a lot of people have said this, but I’m thinking once the 3rd party apps go dark we might get another spike here
minus-square@Draupnir@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish3•2 years agoHow much of that growth happened over the last few weeks vs it’s lifetime though compared to Reddit?
minus-square@davidgro@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish1•2 years agoBefore the current Reddit fiasco the top Lemmy instance had at most hundreds of active users. A few dozen thousands of total users network wide. I first heard of Lemmy (and made my lemmy.ml account) about three years ago.
minus-square@Chadarius@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink3•2 years agoLemmy/kbin is over 1m now. Growing at about 200-300k per day over the last week or so.
minus-square@Interesting_Test_814@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink0•2 years agoThe 1m+ figure is mostly bots flooding open instances though, real figures are probably closer to 200-300k
minus-squareAlternativeEmphasislinkfedilink1•2 years agoTrue, but reddit’s portion of bots is also massive. Anecdotally I saw bots constantly in reddit’s comments. I have yet to see one in the fediverse so far.
Lemmy/kbin has what 220k to reddits 800m
