Lemmy.world grew from about 51k users when third-party reddit apps started to shut down to about 84.8k users at the time of this post.
Definitely felt some growing pains in the past few days, but it’s great to see the platform more active now that things have become more stable.
So, welcome reddit expats!
Maybe this explains why my Jerboa and Connect for Lemmy apps are sometimes showing network error and JSON pop ups… but that’s okay. Hopefully the situation will get better soon
Try registering on a smaller instance that’s more responsive, with a better ping by being closer to your house.
I fuckin love this place

if you are reading reddit only then I recommend to use libreddit.hu Doing this wouldn’t give reddit their juicy traffic
Or even better: install the libredirect extension to do this automatically, not just for reddit.
woah this is sick, thanks!
Yeah trying to keep Reddit activity to a minimum myself. Not missing it tbh, other than troubleshooting posts through the years lol
If you have a problem post it to lemmy. We can try help.
Friendly reminder that lemmy is still being actively developed. There will be many performance improvements in the future, as well as UI and whatnot. Stick around, create content and engage with your communities.
Agreed! The only way to make sure that we can hit “critical mass” (the point in which content is relatively the same as on Reddit), is to continue what we did over there, and more. Most of us were lurkers on Reddit (me included). We now have to generate the content that most bots, mods, and superuser did for us. This allows us to get the links and content that we enjoyed reading and interacting with on Reddit.
Am I content?
IDK, do you have something interesting to share?
I dunno, I could probably google and find a joke thats not too funny
Then you’re ready.
We are all content on this blessed day!
🔫 Always have been
Do you wanna be?
The impressive thing is the active user ratio of over 25%! Good job everyone.
Came from Apollo, only been on Reddit once. That was enough for me…
if you liked apollo check out wefwef

I’m using it thanks… :)
Only thing I’m messed up with is Reddit’s NSFW subreddits can’t be viewed logged out and I won’t log in either. Oh well. I won’t allow myself to contribute there.
Can’t they be accessed without logging in from old.reddit still?
Ahh, that’s why everyone loves the old subdomain. I hate the regular experience on desktop but on mobile, it was alright. Thanks for the tip.
But lemmy.world shows me many errors if I open DevTools… Hope this failures get resolved soon. Had to create another account on another instance to use lemmy

What are the most active communities here?
Any lemmy.world user who feels comfortable using the lemmy explorer to subscribe to communities via URL should heavily consider moving to a smaller instance and subscribing to everything they want. It’ll be a much snappier experience, and will very slightly reduce lag for everyone else.
You can find instances by server location here (just change the software to Lemmy at the top), by user count here, or just look at the official instance list.
Hail Satan.
Cool now join a server that’s not crowded. Hit “all.”Enjoy Lemmy with all the same content with zero lag.
Except for comment lag.
Haven’t had issues from where I am.
You may not notice federation lag, where comments don’t appear in your instance for some time in comparison to their native or a more populous instance.
Afaik the only way to tell is to pull up the same thread from different origin instances and compare.
A post I made on lemmy.world has an order of magnitude more upvotes when viewed from Lemmy.world compared to when viewed from another instance. Beyond annoying
I think there’s a short delay. But still that would be on the server hosting the post being overloaded. I’m not 100% familiar with how the protocols work. But when I look at top day from sh.itjust.works vs from Lemmy.world the numbers are the same in my feed. So It must not be a major difference in most posts.
Could also be because of an update not being rolled out to one of the servers. Just a guess.
That’s great but 66.6%? Time to conspire!
Praise be to the dark lord!
Truly have no idea if this or other similar projects will succeed long-term, but I do think that any alternative puts much needed pressure on social media companies to stop sucking ass.
Here’s to hoping it keeps growing. Gonna need content other than beans though.
I’m about to unsub from lemmyshitposts for a good while. Still sticking around though, this place is home ✌️
Every platform has their “bean” content. I spent enough time on Reddit to have dealt with the constant “the narwhal bacons at midnight” comments we used to deal with.
Oh I agree, it’s more that lemmy doesn’t really have “big engagement” content yet to spread out amongst the beans. Even text-based posts would do wonders. Mid-profile AMAs or a good asklemmy post going viral and hitting some of the content creators on other sites would really help boost this as a true alternative.
For my part I just hope my niche communities migrate over so the twelve of us that play ToME can geek out about the updates.
“Midnight chili better with rice 5/7”
I remember that time, it wasn’t as cringe while it was happening… I think… I hope
Chili does sound like it’d be better with rice though.
