Lemmy enjoys growth as developers pivot from Reddit amid API charging controversy

I'd love to see some stats on reddit engagement now. Anecdotally, I logged in just to look at my usual subreddits (the ones that are open) and they seem dead.

I think having a link aggregator is going to be so great for the fediverse. It allows us to gather content from all over the internet and bring to to the often secluded fediverse.

It also means we can post links to fediverse discussions and draw people in.

So far, all the lemmy apps I've used are in very early stages and quite buggy. Currently enjoying WefWef (PWA / web-based app) which I like the best.

Looking forward to Sync, though!

I just wished the Lemmy API docs were better lol.

Anyone who had an ounce of self respect threw Reddit in the gutter, where spez sleeps. Almost all subreddits have become trashcans bar the very small hobbyist niche ones, or stalwarts like r/headphones (even it has started to become a brag place and less of technical one).

I still browse Reddit through Libreddit/Teddit frontends and RedReader/Infinity, and it is becoming a low quality joke, which is great to see.

Should be interesting to see how the fediverse in general handles more traffic, as we’ve seen with kbin and lemmy over the last month or so there are certainly some growing pains

at least we are making the most of our new space here, we all seem to be building something fun here

I don't think lemmy is still growing. I might be wrong but this graph https://fedidb.org/current-events/threadiverse
is trending down and i've seen a lot of smaller magazines/communities that haven't had any posts for 1-2weeks by now.
I try to help that problem at little but i doubt lemmy&kbin has >100k active users right now.

I’ve been using the Memmy app and it does a decent job of improving the experience for an Apollo refugee, makes the transition away from Reddit much easier
