Data is ugly, why would you write complete ISO format dates ob the x axis? Can’t read shit on a mobile device.
I started using lemmy because of the reddit api fiasco and the platform really feels more alive now. Or maybe the bots got smarter.
I’m sure it’s little of column A and a little of column 01000010
I believe we need some Lemmynade to celebrate
Maybe someday we will be able to beat reddit.
If this chart is right that’s pretty good, looks like this platform is getting some traction.
Let’s hit 10 M!
It’s the year of the Lemmy Desktop!

I like lemmy. I spend maybe an hour a day scrolling so enough content. i am happy there isnt more cuz i would spend more time here then.
Only thing missing is a lot of niches in all kind of categories, be that gaming specific subs or what the internet is rly made for.
Are we sure it’s counting 1.5 M users and not 1.5 M memes posted by picard, pug, and squid?
I don’t think lemmy would be what it is without the contributions of any one of these three- let alone all of them.
Just wouldn’t want any newcomers to the history communities to up and think the place was dead! Lemmy cannot live on Linux alone 🙏
Oh shit you mean like AskHistorians? Is there enough density now for that?
I answer on AskHistorians, but don’t post there. But I’d love to see activity there too! Mostly I run three history meme communities (HistoryMemes, RoughRomanMemes, and ShermanPosting), and four communities for sharing historical images of interest (HistoryPorn [not my choice of name, it’s just for photos], HistoryIllustrations, HistoryRuins, and HistoryArtifacts)
And meme free space
That’s great. The history communities on the other site were such great quality on average and I miss them. How do you have time to do all that?
Know where to look to grab pics real quick + Light moderation load + Not many other hobbies + Work from home with downtime between tasks
Keep up the good work
Thank you Lemmy. Reddit can go piss in the wind.
Which iOS client are y’all using? The native Lemmy website was just way too slow in loading and refreshing posts. I’m using Memmy but it often crashes when searching for communities…
Mlem as it has the best ui.
Voyager. It’s a very near approximation of Apollo’s UI.
Connect is good too.
I myself use voyager, but there are many different clients available.

It’s amazing to me just how hassle-free it is to use Lemmy as opposed to reddit.
Rddit just feels like it’s actively trying to get you to leave it.
Bad moderation is still an issue here. Like allowing people posting pictures of text or low effort meme content on comms that aren’t for memes
Feel free to create Meta posts about that.
And if you reasonable meta posts gets removed, post on !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com
The latest annoyance is that they will AI-translate posts and stick those into search engines.
Reddit is like the late Roman Empire. It looks fine on the outside, but it’s corrupt all the way down, powered by unpaid labor, and the lead pipes are slowly killing everyone.
No, no, the pipes are fine (mostly). They have calcium buildup that prevents lead leeching.
The REAL major source of lead poisoning in the Empire is much stupider - knowingly making wine syrup in lead pots because the lead makes it taste sweeter. Despite knowing that lead is toxic af.
There’s probably an apt comparison in that to Reddit as well.
That’s late stage capitalism baby. 😎
Interesting. May I ask how?
Because with old.reddit and RES it really doesn’t feel much different (apart from the vibes in the communities)
Vibes are def getting worse the more folks flock in from reddit.
Yeah, old.reddit is like a dam for users that will flow with the fediverse sooner or later.
Can’t even visit certain subs without their shit app.
I stopped using reddit on mobile, so I exclusively use the website. Might be different there
How is that you can no longer use any of the third-party apps that used to make it a good experience, and also everything you say and do on the website is being sold to data-hoarders to power AI.
ooh, gradual
I was one of them.
I think I was 4 of them
I also was one of them. Still am, but also was
Actually…I was two of them. me.world and me.ca
I order the club sandwich all the time, but I’m not even a member, man.
Nerd.
Heh.
One of us!
