Lemmy just reached a new milestone: 1 million posts, across 1,323 servers.

The jump in posts over the last month is incredible. I find Lemmy quickly replacing Reddit which is great.
It just definitely needed to hit a critical mass. Enough that people had enough to read, stick around, and post themselves. Which in turn created a place that new people felt had enough content.
I’m doing my part. I had two posts on Reddit. One was superniche and got 30ish points. Whatever, I was happy. It had useful info for the other people on the sub. Then I posted something to the broader community and got two downvotes in like 1 second, killing it. How did they even look at it? I think someone was sitting there gleefully downvoting every fucking thing. I never posted again.
I’ve been here since mid June and have made 264 posts, like WTF. I’m having more fun here than I ever did on Reddit and I don’t get that sick feeling I used to get from seeing all the outrage posts and mean comments (to everyone, not just me).
Loving Lemmy.
What happened on June 21st? The API shutdown was on July 1st.
I don’t think I was that early, but I made my account about a week before the 3rd party shutdown. I’d imagine a bunch of others did too.
We done did it, doin it out here, big things, wildin, etc… Seriously though, I’m happy to be a part of this as a recent redditfugee. I’m never going back. I miss r/emo, I miss r/oneyplays, I miss r/twosentencehorror, I miss all my saved posts and threads, but I’m not fucking around with Reddit on principle, and also as everyone here has been so kind and helpful. I was in a community that posted something about Lemmy being founded as an anti-corpo movement and that’s cool as hell and aligns with how I am. So yes yes, I’m all in on exploring and growing this Undiscovered Country
Lemmy feels cozy. Reddit feels unpleasant
We all need to post this on reddit. Spread the word that this platform is booming and more people will come over!
Well count me in. It took me two weeks to successfully create an account, but it finally didn’t crap out on me.
Maybe this is the good thing. Let Reddit stay filled with the lowest common denominator and divisive politics. Making Lemmy a little more hassle than the common user wants to experience to get into might be the only thing that keeps it from becoming the ban heavy echo chamber Reddit is.
It’s funny, because it’s not even a very hard barrier of entry to overcome, just takes some patience, but it’s apparently enough to keep a lot of low effort content out.
Still seeing the lil dip when all the apps went dark. Everyone went to say goodbye…🥺🥺🥺
This is so exciting seeing something new grow before our eyes!
I was there, 3000 years ago \o/
It’s insane how well this timeline syncs with reddit’s API bs!
From the very first day spez announced the API changes and steadily increasing until most of the 3pa shut down then BAM. Good for Lemmy and hopefully bad for reddit!
I literally only tried Lemmy because of the RIF goodbye message. I’m here because for me, Reddit was Reddit Is Fun.
All. My. Homies. Hate. Spez.
Did somebody say sync…

I love how active you are as a developer in the community.
Finally made the switch, looking forward to doom scrolling here :)
ABANDON ALL HOPELESSNESS YE WHO ENTER HERE
Lets gooo!
Lemmy feels like Reddit 10-15 years ago, which is great.
Since the 30th I’ve stopped going on reddit, but I must admit I still don’t participate here as much because the content I’m seeing it’s not as tailored to my interests as I’d like. Searching for communities tends to show a lot of communities with no participation at all, which is useless.
Also wished there was a video player. Being constantly redirected to youtube is a bit annoying.
But I’m very happy with Memmy for Lemmy. Not as polished as Apollo, but close enough. And Lemmy feels freer from bot/ai/ad content, and that is worth gold.
