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!

You better not be fooling me.

Feel free to check out my comment history to compare. Not sure how else to prove it, sorry :S

This is what reddit doesn't get when they say it's only a small fraction of users who left.

Redditors aren't created equally. The vast majority lurk and maybe don't even upvote.

You put in more work than a lot of professional journalists, and provided the content for free

WOW. amazing.

This really feels like old reddit. The glory days.
