This is a better metric than registered users.
I'm enjoying this early stage of lemmy where everyone seems eager to use the platform. It's giving the same vibes as the old forums I used to participate in the early days of the internet.
We just need more content creators and we are set!
The comment sections have been pretty engaging in the communities that are getting established quickly, but I can't wait for more people to start posting. I have a community for SpacePorn and it's just me posting things and almost 100 people watching with the very rare occasional comment popping up. It's a little frustrating feeling like I have to keep entertaining everyone, when I just want others to join in š .
Iām in a similar situation in !ultralight@lemmy.world. Getting people engaged is a bit like getting people to dance at a party, many people want to but someone has to break the iceā¦ things Iāve tried is pinning a post asking people to stop by and say hi, also comment on each post so thereās something to latch onto, people wonāt click in with 0 comments. You can also try a joke post to break the ice, in the case of SpacePorn you could combine a picture of a galaxy and a swimsuit model and say āAm I doing this right?!?ā or something; itās stupid but hopefully it makes someone laugh.
Made the !half_life community yesterday and it does feel like this. The only other post is a post my friend made so I could promote him to moderator. I don't have much experience so I'm not sure I'm able to fully understand your situation though.
Just tell me where to post photos of a Whippet in a hat and I'm there. š
yep! I'm not much of a conversation starter but love diving into comments, let's hope it keeps growing
Same. Iām missing a lot of niche hobby subs (duh) over here which Iām mainly active on, and thatās about it, honestly. Design and performance could be a lot better too. Iāll stick around and see where it goes.
I hopped over recently. Very happy to be here.

This kind of growth is absolutely insane.
Reddit refugee here.
Looking forward to seeing how this goes
As long as a good amount of us refugees contribute to help make this a vibrant and interesting community by sharing thoughts and interests, this should go pretty well. Iām loving it so far. Cheers!
Already dropped 10 or so comments :)
Make that 11!
Made a community :)
Woot woot!
Iāve been commenting here more than I did on Reddit where I lurked accountless on old.reddit, letās hope the trend continues.
Same. I feel like what I say here is actually heard.
Ps, I just saw how many posts youāve created and wanted to thank you for all the effort you are putting in here. I spend a ton of time surfing, and appreciate all the work that the technical people are doing to allow us to have a new home.
@SoPunny@lemmy.world, thanks so much! I used to lurk on reddit, but now I'm trying to do a little bit to help this site and lemmy grow. I see you're contributing as well.
Trying too. I think a free social media place to exchange ideas is incredibly important for democracy etc all that stuff.
Exactly. This right here is a microcosm of that. I discussed poetry with someone last night. I havenāt discussed that in years! Itās nice here.
I didn't think I would get on with Lemmy but it's actually really good!
stƶnk
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.
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.
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.
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.
I'm glad we're taking off. The sooner we can shift our communities over to the fediverse, the better.
Hopefully not majority bots
I tend to sort by new and all, and it seems like the majority is bots copying posts over from reddit, they have original link to the post on Reddit but there is the bot disclaimer on a lot of posts recently. Maybe it will die down a little once these bots move all the data from reddit to lemmy
These are not, bots are mostly dormant currently.
That's what I was hoping/assuming, but it does worry me at the same time.
Oh I'm worried too about bots, I hope devs and admins soon find a way to deal with it.
Same here! Hopefully enough come/stay to get a nice community going
Much better statistic than total users due to all the spam bots recently created.
Itās good to see. On June 30/July 1 weāre 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.
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.
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 wonder how many of those are active users vs spam / bots
Iāve only seen one or two spam bots so i canāt imagine itās alot.
Ironically, you've double posted this comment.

Just got here using WefWef as a daily Apollo user. Iāll be browsing daily after June since Reddit is killing third party apps. I think a lot of people are in the same boat.
Everytime I look, that sharp rise on the right keeps getting taller.
With the Sync dev announcing a version for lemmy, it might actually bring in a flood of new (real) users even before July 1.
That's what brought me in. Used sync for Reddit, wanna be familiar with how this works for when I use sync for lemmy
While Relay was my preferred app, Sync was definitely another beautiful option. And likely the app I'll hop to as soon as it becomes available.
we goin' vertical fam
I just joined last night after leaving Reddit for green pastures here and am happy to support the site.
awesome. moved here a couple of days ago. like it here. but please improve the ios app
Those are rookie numbers, the fediverse must grow āš»š
Yeah and you're already helping that growth by being here and contributing!
We did it Lemmy!
Gotta get used to saying that.
Yes yeees, amazing, keep making your users hate you reddit, hehehehe
If you take a look on fedidb.org, there's a TON of instances with ~30,000 users but 1 active user. I checked one and the admin had commented that he had email verification off but manual approval on and wasn't getting anyone registering, so he turned manual approval off too. Welp.
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.
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.
thats actually a smart way to see it.
Welcome to your new addiction.
New here. Trying to understand how everything works. I signed up in lemmy.world, do i also need to sign up if i want to interact with other instances?
You love to see it
Now thats a healthy looking curve, nice!
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 .
You happy with this stat, @ulu_mulu@lemmy.world?
Haha :D
Thanks for listening :)
Happy to please!
I'm happy too. Thanks for asking š
The power of collaboration
To the moon!
Best of stats!
In YOUR opinion.
