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.
Not just number but quality. It was all memes at the start, now actual conversation is happening in more than just a few posts.
Good point! I’m hoping for some of the more niche communities to start becoming more active. Things are trending in the right direction though.
They will. My experience community building thus far is that if you can build up one anchor community to the point where people are organically sharing content and commenting, other adjacent communities will start to generate the same sorts of things with smaller subscriber bases because that anchor community is keeping people’s eyes here. Just a question of time.
Speaking of sharing content, is there a way to crosspost around here yet?
Yes, when you make a post look at the line where the ‘save post’ button is at the bottom of the entry. There will be two overlapping squares. That’s the crosspost button.
Never noticed that. Do any apps feature it too?
On Eternity, I have the three dot menu above posts that has ‘Crosspost’ as an option.
Edit: Didn’t realise this was an year old comment.
We all need to post this on reddit. Spread the word that this platform is booming and more people will come over!
The graphic seems to be like a wallstreetbets launch.
I feel like when I browse All I still just see the same 20 posts
The default “Active” sort option does that. Try “Hot” instead.
I still don’t get why Lemmy instances don’t default to “Hot”. Kbin does it right by going with “Hot” as default. All “Active” does is dog pile on posts that are almost a day old, sometimes even older than that.
You know what, what’s even the point of “Active” at this point with so many active users?
Thank you. I have so many engrained habits from Reddit that I’m not using Lemmy to its potential.
I definitely held out thinking they would change their mind about the API but day finally came and I made a Lemmy account and didn’t look back
fuck spez?.. /s
BOOM! …shaka-laka…
Leaving a comment to say I was here in the making of internet 3.0
just keep making lemmy like sites better as reddit keeps getting shittier. i do hope reddit keeps making reddit worse.
Just joined. Can’t wait for Boost for Lemmy
Hype is real. Feels like this is the place to be. Reddit 2011 vibes with the high quality discussions. It’ll only get better. To the fediverse and beyond!
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.
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.
well, communities without participants is not Lemmy’s fault.
Although I do share the same experience. Euro communities are almost dead. Escooter community has like 5 members lol.
The german lemmy community seems quite active from what I can tell. Can’t say anything about the EU community as a whole, just created my account 5 minutes ago and I’m still exploring what there is to see.
