On the Lemmy specific front, Active daily users seems to still be stabilising following the exodus from elsewhere, Comments and Posts both seem to be on the rise though – promising stats all in all.
Though looks like only some 7 million of them are active.
Lurkers or double accounts?
Almost certainly both. And people who made an account but who didn’t stick around.
It’s a good start though. Lemmy should grow, it has everything it needs. Good apps, and it’s decentralized and most important of all : it’s not big tech.
Excellent. Never going back to reddit.
The content coming in lately has been awesome. Let’s go…
Wow its Crazy, I think this is the end of an era for centralized social media. #fuckyoufacebook #fuckyoureddit #fuckyoutwitter
Most people don’t care about ethics /politics or the networks and corporations. They will use what’s convenient — familiar facebook where friends and family already are, instagram where you get (this frustrates me the most) announcements from cool places about events, twitter where shitshtorms and instant news happen and so on.
None of my friends moved or know about Fediverse. Some heard about Mastodon.
I had been using Masotodon as my main social media before, but gladly find myself on Lemmy a whole lot more. Masotodon is certainly not my type of social media, the Twitter format and lack of algorithm kills it for me. Lemmy fills that Reddit gap, and Sync makes it feel like I’m on Reddit again. Though the website has a long ways to go. Lemmy still has a lot of features to go and things to figure out to be a Reddit killer, but I feel confident we’ve hit a healthy size and are relatively stable right now.
Biggest thing I think that needs to get worked on though is to give smaller communities better visibility. You almost never see them because they get buried by the popular communties.
I’m not sure how Reddit did it, but they’d show smaller communities to show up on Hot feed pretty often to give them more exposure. We need a form of that.

The devs are aware of this and, I believe, have a feature coming to help with that. In their recent AMA they acknowledged that it’s bothering them too.
What are the differences between our links, as I don’t see any at all?
Would embed a picture If I could but on mobile currently.
You have nothing between the parenthesis.
[Example](example.com)
There is no parentheses at all, I’m unsure what exactly you mean. Apologies if I’m being incredibly dense.
Are you on lemmy? Are using an app?
It uses similar markdown to reddit, and something somewhere isn’t talking right
I really like the fediverse and I couldn’t imagine it blowing up like this 10 years ago. We’ve come a long way since then.
And no big tech!!
Great news! I wonder how many people have more than one account. I just made my second one because my ‘main’ server is down a lot lately.
Same here. I think we would see tools and features that would facilitate switching your server.
Lets keep on keepin on!
