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

MicroWave@lemmy.world to Fediverse@lemmy.world – 2474 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!

As soon as a stable app happens that'll be amazing.

I'm using liftoff on Android and it's been solid today so far.

Same, good so far. Only thing I've noticed is I don't see any posts if I go to a community (like I see it all in top of subbed, but clicking on say world news community it shows none). That's fine tho, as all the apps are new, and I can get my fix from subbed.

Sync for Lemmy is coming soon which should be one of the best apps around if it perfectly can replicate the (now removed) Reddit version.
