Fediverse

I'm only one person but I never returned to Reddit after the blackout. They could do a complete u-turn and even make sp*z that little fucker walk the plank but I would still be done with that place.

I am really excited to see the community we build from here on out.

I'll also become active with this comment so I can be counted!

Happy to be one of them and be contributing to a ton of communities, apps, and teams that im sure will help make this a successful and less centralized set of communities!

Commenting so I am active.

I am totally active, boys.

let's go!

I'm here from reddit, too, so the number just went up one more.

When I first signed up two weeks ago, the highest-voted posts might have had about 20 upvotes. Now I am regularly seeing posts in the hundreds. It makes me wonder what the first post to reach 1000 upvotes will be?

Had to restart my instance so I'm commenting here to make sure I add to the active user count. Looking good, Lemmy! Let's hope we can keep this momentum going into the next month (and beyond)!

This feels great. The posts right now seem a lot more genuine compared to reddit lately. Keep it up!

Ok. First post. Let's show reddit we are leaving!

Incredible. I'm posting content and comments here more than I was doing over there. Together we can do this!

As a Reddit user for over a decade that got perma-banned for reporting repost bots and blatant misinfo

Glad to see new site where I can actually be involved.

Lemmy feels really good compared to reddit

Anyone got a tutorial on deleting reddit comments and accounts?

I am a big lurker and I need to stop

Let's go!!!

It will be interesting if there will be a noticable increase starting in July.

Does this metric include all federated instances, including Kbin, or is this just lemmyy.world ?

*just incrementing the figures *

nice

I hope that the shutdown brings as many people here as possible, we need more people.

I'm new, myself. I hope more people start coming over.

Didn't initially like the look of lemmy and tried Kbin, but kbin randomly was slow and has no way to hide posts. Lemmy seems snappier and more concise...hoping to find some ability to hide content if you upvote it. I love clearing my feeds up once i've seen content once.

edit: I see there's a hide read option in settings! What constitutes a read post on a desktop PC? Opening comments? simply scrolling past it? Interesting...

edit 2: ohhhh shit, opening comments AND it hides on upvote - fuck yes, well i'm here to stay then.

Cheers!

Count me as active. Feeling optimistic.
