      Looks like just posts from Lemmy instances. Now, are replies posts? I don’t think so, I think it’s original topics. But many replies from Lemmy users are going to be to outside sources, so there’s a lot going on!

    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.

    Worth noting that Hexbear.net has 274,000 posts but isn’t included in this data because it’s not federated. Unless that jump on the 21st of June is it. Would be funny that Hexbear is more than 25% of the posts singlehandedly.

    This is posts per day? The image makes it seem like so, the title not so much. 1 million posts per day and growing is a huge thing if so

      Looks like the title is incorrect, and it’s actually posts per day. At least, the graph shows a few days where the number goes down, so it can’t be just the total number of posts (unless there was a wave of deletions outpacing the posts).

      Edit: according to other people’s comments, it is actually total posts, not posts per day. So my above comment seems to be incorrect.

        The dips in the graph could be caused by some of the servers/instances going offline, post deletions, or a combination of both.

        Or botted contents going, or instances going offline. I’m pretty sure it’s total. I think world and ml have around 500k posts. There is no way it can be a daily contents when those 2 are the most active.

      I think it’s total posts. If you look at the list of instances and posts at the bottom it matches closer to total posts:

      It’s still epic and growing both in quality and activity, but it’s still got a long way to grow. I feel optimistic. :)

    I love it here.

    (I wonder if they’re getting worried yet.)

    Really glad I get to witness history in the making. This is definitely the future and stoked to see it growing so quickly.

    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.
