      In all fairness- I kind of want a bunch of the reddit users… to STAY on reddit, away from lemmy.

      The conversation quality recently on reddit has went WAAAY down.

      That isn’t the way the Internet works. If the 220k lemmy users were the most active out of the 800m, then reddit is basically dead.

      Is it really that high? That’s pretty impressive for what has it been, 2 weeks?

      I know a lot of people have said this, but I’m thinking once the 3rd party apps go dark we might get another spike here

          True, but reddit’s portion of bots is also massive. Anecdotally I saw bots constantly in reddit’s comments. I have yet to see one in the fediverse so far.

            I saw a tl;dr bot yesterday and I was so surprised! Most of the time I hate bots but that one is actually pretty valuable I think.

            Sort by new, you see them a bit more. Seems mods are on top of things cleaning them up though.

      How much of that growth happened over the last few weeks vs it’s lifetime though compared to Reddit?

        Before the current Reddit fiasco the top Lemmy instance had at most hundreds of active users. A few dozen thousands of total users network wide.

        I first heard of Lemmy (and made my lemmy.ml account) about three years ago.
