Lemmy.world grew by about 40% on the first day of reddit migration

MicroWave@lemmy.world to Fediverse@lemmy.world – 2473 points –

Lemmy.world grew from around 51000 total users the moment 3rd party reddit apps started to shut down on June 30 to 71000 total users at the time of this post (July 1). That's a 40% growth in about 12 hours!

Welcome new reddit expats!

First comment for me! 11 years on Reddit, never talked much but lurked a lot. I can’t use their official app so I’m here now and looking forward to see the community grow!

Just registered about a week ago, Lemmy feels like Reddit was like when Digg died.

I mostly lurked on Reddit too but I've been trying to engage with this place as much as possible in order to help it grow.

I see we still have repeating comments around here lol

Yeah, it happened with one of mine too. It's like Connect had a seizure or something. Might happen with this one as well

I'm in a similar boat. Was a big lurker on Reddit for a decade and finally made the switch once Apollo went down. Really like the vibe of Lemmy so far!
